If two objects of equal physical size are placed in the two rear windows of a monocular distorted room, they will appear to be unequal in size. One explanation of such size effects which is frequently cited is formulated in terms of an interaction of assumptions, apparent distance, and retinal size. This interpretation is often associated with the transactionalist school (Kilpatrick, 1952) and ...

in the current paper,nanostructured nickel oxide (nio) were synthesized by co-precipitation method using nickel(ii) chloride hexahydrate (nicl2.6h2o) and sodium hydroxide (naoh) as starting material. structural, optical and magnetic properties of nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), atomic force microscope (afm), uv–vis absorption; fo...

introduction: the research results showed that there was a relatively large gap in training operating room skills and clinical practice, so that clinical training did not enable students to perform the required tasks. one of the new approaches in training is a mentoring program. the aim of this study was to review mentoring of operating room students. methods: this study was a systematic review...

phenolic resin is among the oldest thermoset resins that have found wide spread applications in several industries, largely due to its high thermal resistance. in this research, room temperature curing of phenolic resin and its reinforced silica composite has been investigated by p-toluene sulphonic acid as a catalyst. mechanical properties of the composites such as impact strength, flexural pr...

We report novel heparin-cellulose-charcoal composites prepared using room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) to enhance the biocompatibility and blood compatibility of activated charcoal beads while decreasing the size of their active pores.

Teachers often suffer from health problems related to their voice. These problems are related to their working environment, including the acoustics of the lecture rooms. However, there is a lack of studies linking the room acoustic parameters to the voice produced by the speaker. In this pilot study, the main goals are to investigate whether objectively measurable parameters of the rooms can be...

This paper present results of our investigations into using spatial augmented reality to improve kitchen design and other interior architecture tasks. We have developed user interface techniques for room sized modelling tasks, including cabinet layout, viewing and modifying preset designs, and modifying materials and surface finishes. These techniques are based on Physical-Virtual Tools, which ...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common condition in aging men, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. It is caused due to the augmented levels of the androgen dihydrotestosterone. Dutasteride, a 5α-Reductase inhibitor has been recommended for the treatment of BPH upon oral administration. However, long term oral administration of dutasteride may cause sexual problem in man...
