This study investigated the influence of pitch body tilt on judging the possibility of passing under high obstacles in the presence of an illusory horizontal self-motion. Seated subjects tilted at various body orientations were asked to estimate the possibility of passing under a projected bar (i.e., a parking barrier), while imagining a forward whole-body displacement normal to gravity. This t...

Photovoltaic performance is significantly affected by soiling on its covering surface, which strongly influenced tilt angle. This raises concern for the potential investor, policymakers, engineers, and local populace in regions where rate threats remain relatively unexplored. study investigated effect of dust accumulation PV, considering influence angle using a low-cost in-house developed stati...

Models for the calculation of production large photovoltaic (PV) power plants with different types modules (monofacial or bifacial) have been developed in detail literature. In addition, detailed models PV that fixed as well tracking azimuth angle Sun and/or tilt module. On other hand, due to increasing installation plant, their construction is often imposed on field complex geometry, so it int...

The apparent spatial orientation of an object can differ from its physical orientation when differently oriented objects surround it. This is the "tilt illusion". Previously [Solomon, J. A., & Morgan, M. J. (2006). Stochastic re-calibration: Contextual effects on perceived tilt. Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, 273, 2681-2686], we reported a loss of ori...

To investigate the neural mechanisms that humans use to process the ambiguous force measured by the otolith organs, we measured vestibuloocular reflexes (VORs) and perceptions of tilt and translation. One primary goal was to determine if the same, or different, mechanisms contribute to vestibular perception and action. We used motion paradigms that provided identical sinusoidal inter-aural otol...
