This book deals with the subject in greater detail than the name suggests. It gives full description of factors influencing, and up to date and best approaches to help the growth and development of the young child in the different fields (such' as physical, intellectual, emotional and social, etc.) in the different phases of development. It also deals with some of the important social problems ...

35 The ventral intraparietal area (VIP) of the macaque monkey is thought to be 36 involved in judging heading direction based on optic flow. We recorded neuronal 37 discharges in VIP while monkeys were performing a two-alternative, forced-choice 38 heading discrimination task to relate quantitatively the activity of VIP neurons to 39 monkeys’ perceptual choices. Most VIP neurons were responsive...

The ventral intraparietal area (VIP) of the macaque monkey is thought to be involved in judging heading direction based on optic flow. We recorded neuronal discharges in VIP while monkeys were performing a two-alternative, forced-choice heading discrimination task to relate quantitatively the activity of VIP neurons to monkeys' perceptual choices.

Accurate perception of self-motion through cluttered environments involves a coordinated set of sensorimotor processes that encode and compare information from visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, motor-corollary, and cognitive inputs. Our goal was to investigate the visual and vestibular cues to the direction of linear self-motion (heading direction). In the vestibular experiment, blindfolded p...

The problem of exponential stabilization for nonholonomic mobile robot with dependent stochastic disturbance of heading angle is considered in this paper. An integrator backstepping controller based on state-scaling method is designed such that the state of the closed-loop system, starting from a nonzero initial heading angle, is regulated to the origin with exponential rate in almost surely se...

To study the contribution of vision to the perception of ego-motion, one often dissociates the retinal flow from the corresponding extra-retinal information on eye, head and body movement. This puts the observer in a conflict concerning the experienced ego-motion. When the retinal flow of a translating and rotating eye is shown to a stationary eye, observes often perceive ego-motion on a curved...

In addition to the development approaches they adopt, countries that are in position of donor and provide assistance may have different orientations according beneficiary country dealing with, global conjuncture in, methods prefer. These factors many other constitute motivation offer assistance. Herein, donors acting their national strategic priorities, taking positions economic order, which di...

Heading date is an important agronomic trait in rice (Oryza sativa L.); it determines the geographical and seasonal adaptability of the crop. Single segment substitution lines (SSSLs) have become the preferred experimental materials in mapping functional genetic variations as the particular chromosome segments from donor genotypes can be evaluated for their impact on the phenotype in a recurren...

The problem under study is a synthesis of position and heading control system for low frequency model of surface vessel described by 3 DOF mathematical model. The recursive vectorial backstepping control design was used to keep fixed position and heading in presence of wave disturbances. The controller has been simulated on computer model of scaled supply vessel. It has been assumed that the ac...
