Current efforts to enhance child restraint safety performance focus on protection afforded by child restraints in side impact crashes. Analyses of real world crashes can be used to identify relevant crash characteristics for incorporation into the design of test procedures. To this end, this paper assessed the injury risks for children restrained in CRS in side impact crashes as compared with f...

We tested three species of praying mantis, Parasphendale affinis, Popa spurca and Sphodromantis lineola, with computer-generated stimuli that differed in size, contrast, configuration and movement pattern to determine the effects of these parameters on visual tracking and striking behavior. Overall, black disks moving erratically against a white background were strong releasers of both behavior...

In this chapter, we discuss the problem of tracking objects without having to learn a model of the object’s appearance in advance (i.e., model-free tracking). Object tracking has many practical applications, which motivated continous developments in the field. A particularly successful tracking technique that has been recently proposed is the structured tracker called Struck. Struck uses suppor...

With this article I offer a close reading of Gadamer’s Aesthetics and Hermeneutics. The reason draw attention to essay is as response criticism aimed at hermeneutic account art. In its reception, it has occasionally been viewed too hermeneutical, focused on understanding. maintain that Hermeneutics can be considered exempt from critique. Here, Gadamer offers us the experience in most aesthetic ...
