Abstract Let p be a prime and let G finite group such that the smallest divides | is . We find sharp bounds, depending on , for commuting probability average character degree to guarantee nilpotent or supersolvable.

Human can segment a character from handwritten Chinese character text line having many overlaps or joins. Therefore, a fairly high degree of accuracy in the character segment,ation may be attained by imitating the human visual processing. In the cognitive science field, it is proposed that the method called 'field of induction on the retina' is similar to human subjective image processing. But,...

This paper is about the visual requirements for reading with normal vision. It is the first in a series devoted to the psychophysics of reading with normal and low vision. We have measured reading rates for text scanned across the face of a TV monitor while varying parameters that are important in current theories of pattern vision. Our results provide estimates of the stimulus parameters requi...

The iconicity of a Chinese character, or the degree to which it looks like the concept that it represents, has been suggested as affecting the learning and processing of the character. However, previous studies have not provided good empirical information on the iconicity of specific characters. To fill this gap, 40 U.S. adults with no knowledge of Chinese were given an English word or short ph...
