We recently reported a new motion illusion where dots in expanding random dot patterns appear to move faster than those in rotation patterns despite having the same physical speed distributions. In the current paper, we compared expansion and rotation motion to translational motion and found that the perceived dot speed in translation patterns was between that of expansion and rotation. We also...

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a noninvasive method to assess table feed speed (mm/s) in modern commercial computed tomography (CT) systems. The table feed (mm/rotation) was measured at selected nominal table feed speeds, given as low (26.67 mm/s), intermediate (48.00 mm/s), and high (64.00 mm/s), by utilizing a computed radiography (CR) cassette installed with a photosti...

We investigated the mental rotation ability of children with spina bifida, a malformation of the spinal cord due to a neural tube defect, and how it is influenced by a manual rotation training. In comparison to a healthy control group these children showed longer reaction times and a higher number of errors in a computer-based mental rotation test. Furthermore, a manual rotation training was ap...

Subjects were asked to report the number of items in a display as the items moved along a circular path around the fixation point. As the rotation speed increased, the apparent number of items also increased. This motion-induced overestimation (MIO) effect was investigated in three experiments. In the first experiment, the effect of rotation speed and set size was explored with an enumeration t...

Background. This study aims to analyze the movement of backhand and forehand smash stroke techniques in badminton in three dimensions using a kinematics approach. Objectives. The obtained results were analyzed using a descriptive and quantitative approach. Methods. Furthermore, 24 male badminton players from the university student activity unit with an average age of 19.4 ± 1.6 years, height ...

An improved bubble-electrospinning, consisting of a cone shaped air nozzle, a copper solution reservoir connected directly to the power generator, and a high speed rotating copper wire drum as a collector, was presented successfully to obtain high throughput preparation of aligned nanofibers. The influences of drum rotation speed on morphology and properties of obtained nanofibers were explored...
