Monocular adaptation to flow fields of optic expansion and contraction juxtaposed on either side of fixation influenced subsequently perceived rotation direction of a figure rotating in depth (kinetic depth effect) about its vertical axis with a normally ambiguous direction. This influence was shown to be asymmetric since adapting to optic expansion produced significantly more aftereffects of t...

It has been argued in [7] that using automated provers such as AProVE [4] and CSI [3] can benefit research projects on the topic of datatype defining rewrite systems (DDRSs), as the size of these DDRSs make manual completeness proofs long and error-prone. The authors of [7] note that no similar software exists for the ground-confluence property, and in [1] it is argued that such software should...

in this paper, we investigate the l-fuzzy proximities and the relationships betweenl-fuzzy topologies, l-fuzzy topogenous order and l-fuzzy uniformity. first, we show that the category of-fuzzy topological spaces can be embedded in the category of l-fuzzy quasi-proximity spaces as a coreective full subcategory. second, we show that the category of l -fuzzy proximity spaces is isomorphic to the ...
