The accuracy of absolute distance estimation based on monocular motion parallax was determined both before and after specific training. With the usual distance information eliminated, subjects either held their heads stationary, or rhythmically rotated their heads from side to side, while judging the distance of stimuli placed 4-15 ft. away. Before training, head movement produced more accurate...

This study examines the implications of occupational stratification and job mismatches for the welfare of children, using data from the 2005-2009 American Community Survey. The results show that Black children of immigrants have household heads that are more likely to have occupations with low SEI scores than children in US-born households.

The wild-type eye color of the horn ßy, Hematobia iritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), is a dark reddish brown. An apparent spontaneous mutation in a single adult colony ßy resulted in a white-eyed mutant. A colony of white-eyed horn ßies was established from this single individual and has beenmaintained in the laboratory. Laboratory crosses determined that thewhite-eyed phenotype is inherited as ...

in the present study, hydraulic properties of low pressure drip irrigation systems in lateral pipes were evaluated by mathematical model with the aid of experimental data resulting from testing of tubes available in iran. in this regard, emitters discharge were measured in different initial heads from 0.45 to 1.8 m for laterals with outside diameter of 32 mm with different lengths of 89, 60, 30...
