Four experiments were conducted to determine the effects of misaligning egocentric and environmental frames of reference on spatial S-R compatibility effects. In Experiments 1 and 3, subjects looked at two lights that were aligned horizontally, one each on either side of the body midline. They held their head upright or tilted 90 degrees to the left or right. In the upright condition the hands ...

in suhrawardi philosophy – like any philosophy which seeks to explain the general facts of being – the issuance of plurality is an important element in the cosmology and defers with mashsha basis in this regard. the issuance of plurality contains several stages in suhrawardi's main works: agreement with mashsha’ on the emanation of the first caused, criticizing them for the issuance of und...

This paper discusses Specht’s plate bending element, shows the relationships between ∫ Fρ w ds or ∫ Fρ ∂w ∂n ds and the nodal parameters (or degrees of freedom), further it sheds lights on the construction methods for that element, and finally it introduces a new plate bending element with good convergent properties (which passes the F-E-M-Test (cf.[11])) is derived.

We measured changes in the color appearance of one light caused by another light presented in a well-separated region. Observers viewed a 1 degrees test field superimposed on a 3 degrees, 540 or 660 nm adapting field (32 or 320 td). The change in appearance due to noncontiguous light was determined by surrounding the 3 degrees adapting field with a continguous 3 degrees i.d., 5 degrees o.d. rin...

Objective: It is believed that drivers play a crucial role in accidents. Paying attention to brake lights, a driver may find out about danger and react. Rear-end collision accidents refer to the part of the accidents due to driver inattention or slow reaction. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dynamic flashing brake lights (7 Hz) on drivers' brake reaction time using the driv...

PURPOSE Glare problems originating from bright lights are generally experienced more strongly at night. The typical disability glare is known to result from retinal straylight. In this study, the effects of pupil diameter and, especially in the case of small pupils, of eye wall translucency on the amount of retinal straylight were investigated. METHODS Straylight was measured as a function of...

abstract the growth is a one of biological aspects of fishes and is a good index in order to determine of health of these population. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different color lights on condition factor and weight- length relationships (lwr) of rainbow trout. fertilized eggs of fish were kept under light conditions, 14h light and 10h dark for 5 months at seven light...

Rod influence on hue appearance of spectral lights was characterized by comparing the scaling of red, green, yellow, and blue hue sensations for an 8 degrees-diameter, 7 degrees-eccentric test spot under conditions that minimized (cone plateau) and maximized (dark adapted) rod influence at two mesopic light levels (1.5 and 3.0 log scoptic trolands). At the lower light level, the hue-scaling fun...
