Tversky and Schiano (1989) found a systematic bias toward the 45 degrees line in memory for the slopes of identical lines when embedded in graphs, but not in maps, suggesting the use of a cognitive reference frame specifically for encoding meaningful graphs. The present experiments explore this issue further using the linear configurations alone as stimuli. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrate that ...

We propose a novel concept of symbol relocation for the improvement of received signal power in diagonal precoder. In the past, many precoding algorithm have been proposed, they all suffer either in terms of low bit rate, high complexity and less received signal power. The proposed symbol relocation concept in diagonal precoder gives high data rate with high received signal power. Complexity of...

In this paper we investigate generalized ordered (GO) spaces that have a flexible diagonal in the sense of Arhangel’skii [2]. Spaces with a flexible diagonal are generalizations of topological groups and include spaces that are continuously homogeneous, Choban spaces, and rotoid spaces. We prove some some paracompactness and metrization theorems for such spaces and construct examples of general...

This paper reports estimates of correlated genetic change in reproductive performance of purebred gilts producing two-way cross litters and purebred sows producing purebred litters as well as postweaning performance of two-way cross and purebred pigs produced during reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) between Line 8 (Duroc) and Line 9 (Beltsville No. 1) for 21-d litter weight production of cro...

This study compared the effects of adding upper-body sprint-intervals or continuous double poling endurance training to the normal training on maximal upper-body strength and endurance capacity in female cross-country skiers. In total, 17 female skiers (age: 18.1±0.8yr, body mass: 60±7 kg, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max): 3.30±0.37 L.min-1) performed an 8-week training intervention. Here, either...

We study the covariance of the cross-power spectrum of different tracers for the largescale structure. We develop the counts-in-cells framework for the multi-tracer approach, and use this to derive expressions for the full non-Gaussian covariance matrix. We show, that for the usual auto-power statistic, besides the off-diagonal covariance generated through gravitational mode-coupling, the discr...

correlation analysis result from all subjects, the diagonal line is the axis of symmetry, points on diagonal line are CC values between the same ROI (A); p value map of one-sample t-test after FDR correction and points with significant correlation (p<0.05) are shown (B); The coordinate 1-30 stands for ventral horn and dorsal horn of each slice on segments from C2 to C6 sequentially. For example...

Diagonal updating scheme is among the cheapest Newton-like methods for solving system of nonlinear equations. Nevertheless, the method has some shortcomings. In this paper, we proposed an improved matrix-free secant updating scheme via line search strategies, by using the steps of backtracking in the Armijo-type line search as a step length predictor and Wolfe-Like condition as corrector. Our a...
