We used adaptation to examine the relationship between perceptual norms – the stimuli observers describe as psychologically neutral, and response norms – the stimulus levels that leave visual sensitivity in a neutral or balanced state. Adapting to stimuli on opposite sides of a neutral point (e.g. redder or greener than white) biases appearance in opposite ways. Thus the adapting stimulus can b...

W e present an eficient method to fixate a binocular gaze point on a target object moving around in a complicated environment. Assuming the target is in the riicinity of t1t.e gaze point, the image features of the target can be isolated by using zero disparity feature from others which suffer some disparities. This assumption is proper while successful binocular tracking, and the zero disparity...

in this study, we modify an iterative non-optimal without memory method, in such a way that is becomes optimal. therefore, we obtain convergence order eight with the some functional evaluations. to justify our proposed method, some numerical examples are given.

This study conducts a cross-country comparison of capital structure and its determinants between UK and Germany to test alternative theories of capital structure within different institution traditions. The purpose of this study is to bring into focus the possible effect of institution differences on capital structure choice and its firm-level determinants.

A controller for biped running has to consider varying vertical ground reaction force while satisfying the horizontal ground reaction force and moment limits. We propose a design technique for feedback gains to stabilize the upper body position under varying vertical ground reaction force. We also propose an extended model ZMP control method which uses horizontal and rotational acceleration of ...
