In European Robins, Erithacus rubecula, the magnetic compass is lateralized in favor of the right eye/left hemisphere of the brain. This lateralization develops during the first winter and initially shows a great plasticity. During the first spring migration, it can be temporarily removed by covering the right eye. In the present paper, we used the migratory orientation of robins to analyze the...

Title of Document: THE HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY PERFORMANCE OF THE SLIGO-DENNIS BIORETENTION CELL. Jennifer M. Olszewski, Master of Science, 2010 Directed By: Professor Allen P. Davis Civil and Environmental Engineering Bioretention cells have been found to improve the hydrologic and water quality performance of impervious areas such as parking lots. The current study recorded hydrologic da...

A number of Non-Photorealistic Rendering methods for producing artistic style images have been developed. Recently, a method called “Image Analogies” was proposed. This method is based on the idea of example-based filtering that uses a pair of images (an original image and a filtered image) as training data and creates an image which has a style that resembles the filtered image of the training...

Abstract This paper proposes a framework for representing in Bayesian terms the idea that analogical arguments of various degrees strength may provide inductive support to yet untested scientific hypotheses. On this account, contextual information plays crucial role determining whether, and what extent, given similarity or dissimilarity between source target confirm an empirical hypothesis over...
