Objective: To determine whether egocentric distance judgments are accurate in a virtual environment using a perceptual matching task. Methods: Observers were immersed within a virtual environment consisting of an L-shaped room with a test object (a column) located down one corridor and a comparison object (a flagpole) located down the other. Perceived distances were measured by having the obser...

If you have any questions, please contact: [email protected] [email protected] The Archaeological Sites Finds Identifier application is a tool for expert users and nonprofessionals to identify findings made all over Europe. In our prototype implementation, developed in course of the BRICKS project, the integrated findings are restricted to coins found in the Uni...

During narrative comprehension, readers construct representations of the situation described by a text, called situation models. Theories of situation model construction and event comprehension posit two distinct types of situation model updating: incremental updating of individual situational dimensions, and global updates in which an old model is abandoned and a new one created. No research t...

Abstract This research aims to evaluate the strength development and microstructure of a green mortar produced from waste red brick powder (WRP) as partial cement replacement. The samples were prepared with various WRP content 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% total binder weight, w/b was fixed at 0.4. fresh properties checked by flowability unit weight. While compressive conducted up 28 days. exhibited r...

In type A, Bott-Samelson varieties are posets in which ascending chains are flags of vector spaces. They come equipped with a map into the flag variety G/B. These varieties are mostly studied in the case in which the map into G/B is birational to the image. In this paper we study Bott-Samelsons for general types, more precisely, we study the combinatorics a fiber of the map into G/B when it is ...

LAST ISSUE, I talked about the problems-of-the-large in design and verification tasks for system chips. Beyond size, the accelerating upward trend in operating frequencies for chips used in almost all application domains has tremendous implications for both chip design and manufacturing. The problem arises not only from the increasing scale of tasks performed on-chip but also the process comple...

Customers often evaluate products at brick-and-mortar stores to identify their “best fit” product, but end up buying this product not at the store but at a competing online retailer to take advantage of lower prices. This free-riding behavior by customers is referred to as “showrooming.” We analyze three strategies to counter the effect of showrooming that may improve profits for the brick-and-...

Abstract The research of the mechanical behaviour reinforced and cavity wall brickwork is focus this paper. In paper, casting specimens are done manually totally 18 prepared. different proportions were followed for bricks specimens. used red bricks, fly ash solid bricks. Conventional method using mortar brick prism with constructed finally compressive strength estimated brickworks. obtained var...
