The using of characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) can significantly improve the efficiency of video coding process. Enhanced coding processes take into account the high spatial variability of HVS in sampling, coding and understanding of visual information. The highest visual sensitivity is at the point of fixation and decreases rapidly with distance from that point. Foveated image a...

Visual search efficiency improves with repetition of a search display, yet the mechanisms behind these processing gains remain unclear. According to Scanpath Theory, memory retrieval is mediated by repetition of the pattern of eye movements or "scanpath" elicited during stimulus encoding. Using this framework, we tested the prediction that scanpath recapitulation reflects relational memory guid...

We introduce a generic, purely mechanical model for environment sensitive motion of mammalian cells that is applicable to chemotaxis, haptotaxis, and durotaxis as modes of motility. It is able to theoretically explain all relevant experimental observations, in particular, the high efficiency of motion, the behavior on inhomogeneous substrates, and the fixation of the lagging pole during motion....

The subject of this study is to show the impact that applying universal design principles has on everyday work with web content for people visual impairments. first part an experiment using eye tracker, comparing effects high contrast or changing font size subjects' efficiency in performing simple tasks. second a survey feelings website strictly compliant and its counterpart containing noticeab...

in order to study the effects of simultaneous application of znso4 and biological fertilizer, azotobacter chroococcum and azospirillum brasilense, on grain yield and nitrogen uptake efficiency in rapeseed (brassica napus l.), cv. hyola308, a field experiment was conducted as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design at research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, uni...

BACKGROUND This cadaveric study compared efficacy and safety of an electromagnetic (EM) guidance system versus conventional fluoroscopy for percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. As percutaneous pedicle screw fixation becomes increasingly common in spinal surgery, intraoperative imaging systems that maximize efficiency while minimizing radiation exposure and inaccurate trajectories will be progre...
