abstract in this paper we test two versions of convergence hypothesis namely deterministic or conditional convergence and stochastic or catching up hypothesis using carrion-i-silvestre et al. (2005) stationary test. the results show latin and south american countries (lsa) catching up process toward the usa failed in 1980s and somewhat in 1990s. but in 2000s most of them could lie in convergenc...

In this paper we present ongoing work on how to incorporate human motion models into the design of a high performance teleoperation platform. A short description of human motion models used for ball-catching is followed by a more detailed study of a teleoperation platform on which to conduct experiments. Also, a pilot study using minimum jerk theory to explain user input behavior in teleoperate...

Bufo bufo, Depth Perception, Prey Catching Behaviour, Eye Accommodation, Monand Binocularity Distance estimation in prey catching was as exact in monocular toads (Bufo bufo (L.)) as in binocular ones. Application of Atropine or Miotic® had no significant effect on binocular animals, whereas in monocular toads it made accurate distance estimation impossible. The accom­ modative state of the eye ...
