As Aristotle noted, “man is by nature a social animal”. We do not live in isolation. On a daily basis, thousands of individuals walk in terminals, malls or city centers. They consciously or unconsciously interact with each other. They make decisions on where to go, and how to get to their destination. Their mobility is often influenced by their surrounding. Understanding human social dynamics p...

The transmit array of multi-overlapped-transmit-subarray configured bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MOTS MIMO) radar is partitioned into a number of overlapped subarrays, which is different from the traditional bistatic MIMO radar. In this paper, a new unitary ESPRIT scheme for joint estimation of the direction of departure (DOD) and the direction of arrival (DOA) for MOTS MIMO radar i...

Tooth size arch length discrepancy (TSALD) is a well defined means of assessing dental crowding. In previous literature conflicting evidence exists regarding the part played by tooth size and arch dimension in causing dental crowding. The objective of present study were to; examine the relationship between tooth size and arch dimension in crowded and non crowded arches, and to find out the majo...

PURPOSE This study investigated whether visual perceptual learning can improve near visual acuity and reduce foveal crowding effects in four- to nine-year-old children with visual impairment. METHODS Participants were 45 children with visual impairment and 29 children with normal vision. Children with visual impairment were divided into three groups: a magnifier group (n = 12), a crowded perc...

During the period of the growth and development of the dental arch, anterior-posterior and medial-lateral changes in the maxillary deciduous and permanent canines were longitudinally studied in children. A longitudinal series of dental casts were obtained from 50 children at 2-month intervals from the completion of deciduous dentition to the stable period of permanent dentition. Subjects were d...

We develop a model of capital reallocation to analyze whether the presence of more arbitrageurs improves capital allocation and welfare. While trades can become crowded due to imperfect information and externalities, arbitrageurs can devote resources to flexibly learn about the number of earlier entrants. Above a threshold, increasing the number of arbitrageurs does not affect capital allocatio...

This paper uses panel data of boaters at the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore to test the relationship of perceived crowding in 1975 to attitude changes (cognitive coping strategies), and behavioral shifts (intrasite displacement and discontinued participation at the Apostle Islands) in the following decade, based on a hierarchical coping model. Those feeling less crowded in 1975 should use e...
