Landmarks can be helpful guides when completing spatial tasks, such as giving directions. Past research has shown that the salience of landmarks can influence their use, with salience based on perceptual features, or on the spatial relation between the landmark and a target location. In two experiments, students were asked to give directions to locations on campus to other students, alumni, or ...

Controlled Perturbation (CP, for short) is an approach to obtaining efficient and robust implementations of a large class of geometric algorithms using the computational speed of multiple precision floating point arithmetic (compared to exact arithmetic), while bypassing the precision problems by perturbation. It also allows algorithms to be written without consideration of degenerate cases. CP...

OBJECTIVE To determine the attitudes of adult squash players towards protective eyewear. METHODS A survey of 197 competition and social squash players from seven squash centres in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia was conducted in September to October 1995.

Stark socioeconomic and racial gaps exist in college enrollment and achievement. At the same time, a college degree has never been more critical to career success and to promoting a democratic society. California needs to ensure that the students, facu...
