In this paper we introduce the notion of screen pseudo-slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds giving characterization theorem with some non-trivial examples of such submanifolds. Integrability conditions of distributions D1, D2 and RadTM on screen pseudo-slant lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite Kaehler manifold have been obtained. Further, we obtain necessary and suff...

Recent work suggests that secrecy is perceived as burdensome. A secrecy-burden relationship would have a number of consequences for cognitive, perceptual, social, and health psychology, but the reliability of these influences, and potential mechanisms that support such influences are unknown. Across 4 studies, the current work examines both the reliability of, and mechanisms that support, the i...

Transfer studies show that people normally associate responses with physical rather than retinal stimulus orientations. In this study experimental 6"s were instructed to adopt a head-anchored reference system ("Think of the top of your head as 'up'.") with heads tilted, during either initial learning or transfer. These instructions strongly facilitated transfer based on retinal invariance with ...

We present a novel microfluidic device with exponentially increasing obstacle arrays to enable sheathless particle focusing. The anisotropic fluidic resistance of slant obstacles generates transverse flows, along which particles are focused to one sidewall. In the successive channel with exponentially increasing widths, bent obstacles extended from the slant obstacles increase the focusing effi...

A fast algorithm is presented in this paper for skew and slant correction in printed document images. The algorithm employs only the gradient information. The skew angle is obtained by searching for a peak in the histogram of the gradient orientation of the input greylevel image. The skewness of the document is corrected by a rotation at such an angle. The slant of characters can also be detect...

There are a variety of stereoscopic after-effects in which exposure to a stimulus with a particular slant or curvature affects the perceived slant or curvature of a subsequently presented stimulus. These after-effects have been explained as a consequence of fatigue (a decrease in responsiveness) among neural mechanisms that are tuned to particular disparities or patterns of disparity. In fact, ...

Shape and slant judgments of rotated or frontoparallel ellipses were elicited from three groups of 10 subjects. A masking stimulus was introduced to control processing time. Backward masking trials were presented with interstimulus intervals of 0,25 and 50 msec. Reduction of processing time altered shape judgments in the direction of projective shape and slant judgments in the direction of fron...

Cross-orientation suppression (COS) in striate cortex has been implicated in the efficient encoding of visual stimuli. We show that release from COS facilitates the decoding of 3-D shape. In planar surfaces overlaid with textures, slanting the surface can increase the visibility of the component parallel to the slant. Since this component provides the orientation flows that signify 3-D shape, t...
