We examine how local direction signals are combined to compute the focus of radial motion (FRM) in random dot patterns and examine how this process changes across the visual field. Equivalent noise analysis showed that a loss in FRM accuracy was largely attributable to an increase in local motion detector noise with little or no change in efficiency across the visual field. The minimum separati...

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) contributes to axon growth and guidance during development and learning and memory in adulthood. Although the Ig domains mediate homophilic binding, outgrowth activity localizes to two membrane proximal fibronectin-like domains. The first of these contains a site identified as a potential FGF receptor (FGFR) activation motif (FRM) important for NCAM stimulat...

Flood risk of all types of flooding is projected to increase based on climate change projections and increases in damage potential. These challenges are likely to aggravate issues of justice in flood risk management (hereafter FRM). Based on a discursive institutionalist perspective, this paper explores justice in Dutch FRM: how do institutions allocate the responsibilities and costs for FRM fo...

AbstractObjective To examine the mediating effects of food resource management skills (FRM) on relationship between participation in a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) nutrition education program and diet quality. Design Secondary analysis data from propensity score-matched sample participants (n = 396) nonparticipants 111) SNAP-Ed ...

-This paper introduces two-channel FIR filter bank based analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for software-defined radio (SDR) applications. The synthesis filter bank is synthesized using frequency-response masking (FRM) approach. In FRM, the structure is composed of a model filter, its complementary filter, and two masking filters. The FRM was introduced as the means of generating narrow transiti...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency microneedle (FRM) device has been used in skin rejuvenation and acne scars, and a recent pilot study demonstrated the positive therapeutic effect on acne. We evaluated the efficacy of FRM device for acne vulgaris in Asians and conducted objective measurement to assess its effect on sebum production. PATIENTS AND METHODS T...

Business intelligence (BI) systems and tools are broadly adopted in organizations today, supporting activities such as data analysis, managerial decision making, and business-performance measurement. Our research investigates the integration of feedback and recommendation mechanisms (FRM) into BI solutions. We define FRM as textual, visual, and/or graphical cues that are embedded into front-end...

dense medium cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. it is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in dmcs complex. in this article the flow pattern simulation of dmc is performed with computational fluid dynamics and fluent...
