We investigated whether the lower region effect on figure-ground organization (Vecera, Vogel, and Woodman, 2002) would generalize to contextual depth planes in vertical orientations, as is predicted by a theoretical analysis based on the ecological statistics of edges arising from objects that are attached to surfaces of support. Observers viewed left/right ambiguous figure-ground displays that...

Figure 3 – Intersection of the superior mesenteric artery in front of the vein, at the right of it. CliniCal Case 61 year-old female, afebrile and hemodynamically stable, admitted to emergency room reporting abdominal pain of 5 days duration. Abdominal examination: soft and depressible abdomen, painful on palpation at left iliac fossa, without defense. TAC: multiple diverticula in the descendin...

a t t e r n T h e o r e t i c L e a r n i n g Abstract The goal of learning from sample data is to extract a concept that captures the underlying pattern while still representing it in a way useful to the investigator. A new approach based on function decomposition in the Pattern Theory framework is presented here. The objective of this extended abstract is threefold. The rst is to provide an o...

The pace of modern science is staggering. The quantities of data now flowing from DNA sequencers, fluorescence and electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, and other mind-blowing instruments leave us faced with information overload. This explosion in data has brought on its heels a concomitant need for efforts at the kinds of synthesis and unification we see in theoretical physics. Often in ce...

We illustrate models for discrete data using the horseshoe crab dataset introduced in Sec. 1.5.1. The response variable for the n = 173 mating female crabs is y = number of " satellites " — male crabs that group around the female and may fertilize her eggs. Explanatory variables are the female crab's color, spine condition, weight, and carapace width. To illustrate the Poisson, negative binomia...

BACKGROUND Figures are important experimental results that are typically reported in full-text bioscience articles. Bioscience researchers need to access figures to validate research facts and to formulate or to test novel research hypotheses. On the other hand, the sheer volume of bioscience literature has made it difficult to access figures. Therefore, we are developing an intelligent figure ...

An e cient multigrid approach for solving a discretized elliptic equation whose boundary values are determined in part by integral relations is developed, analyzed and tested. The algorithm is implemented on a problem that is solved during integration of the three-dimensional Quasigeostrophic equations, which model large-scale rotating strati ed ows, where the integral constraints represent mas...

This paper focuses on accuracy and other technology trends for inertial sensors, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and integrated Inertial Navigation System (INS)/GPS systems, including considerations of interference, that will lead to better than 1 meter accuracy navigation systems of the future. For inertial sensors, trend-setting sensor technologies will be described. A vision of the inertia...
