Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity progressively diminish with increasing viewing eccentricity. Here we evaluated how visual enumeration is affected by visual eccentricity, and whether subitizing capacity, the accurate enumeration of a small number (∼3) of items, decreases with more eccentric viewing. Participants enumerated gratings whose (1) stimulus size was constant across eccentricity,...

PSR J1946+3417 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) with spin period P ≃ 3.17 ms. Harbored in binary an orbital Pb 27 days, the MSP accompanied by white dwarf (WD). The masses of and WD were determined to be 1.83 M⊙ 0.266 M⊙, respectively. Specially, its eccentricity e 0.134, which challenging recycling model MSPs. Assuming that neutron star may collapse strange when mass reaches critical limit, we pr...

Induction motors (IMs) are commonly used in various industrial applications. To improve energy consumption efficiency, a reliable IM health condition monitoring system is very useful to detect IM fault at its earliest stage to prevent operation degradation, and malfunction of IMs. An intelligent harmonic synthesis technique is proposed in this work to conduct incipient air-gap eccentricity faul...

The eccentricity of a vertex is the maximum distance from it to another vertex and the average eccentricity ecc (G) of a graph G is the mean value of eccentricities of all vertices of G. The harmonic index H (G) of a graph G is defined as the sum of 2 di+dj over all edges vivj of G, where di denotes the degree of a vertex vi in G. In this paper, we determine the unique tree with minimum average...

This paper is devoted to the problem of rejecting oscillatory position-dependent disturbances with unknown frequency and unknown amplitude. The considered disturbances are here assumed to be produced by eccentricity in mechanical systems and drives. Most of the previous works on eccentricity cancellation assume a time-depending oscillation, we instead assume that the oscillatory disturbance is ...

The eccentricity of a node in a graph is defined as the length of a longest shortest path starting at that node. The eccentricity distribution over all nodes is a relevant descriptive property of the graph, and its extreme values allow the derivation of measures such as the radius, diameter, center and periphery of the graph. This paper describes two new methods for computing the eccentricity d...

The eccentricity distribution of exoplanets is known from radial velocity surveys to be divergent from circular orbits beyond 0.1 au. This is particularly the case for large planets where the radial velocity technique is most sensitive. The eccentricity of planetary orbits can have a large effect on the transit probability and subsequently the planet yield of transit surveys. The Kepler mission...

We consider the problem of constructing a multicast tree that connects a group of source nodes to a group of sink nodes (receivers) and minimizes the maximum end-to-end delay between any pair of source/sink nodes. This is known as the minimum eccentricity multicast tree problem, and is directly related to the quality of service requirements of real multipoint applications. We deal directly with...

This paper presents adaptive algorithms to compensate roll eccentricity perturbations in web transport systems. Roll eccentricity creates tension disturbances whose frequencies may be slowly varying due to the change of radius of the roll. The magnitude and phase of these perturbations are estimated through an adaptive algorithm that cancels the effect of these perturbations. The ability of the...
