Palmer and Rock (1994) proposed that a connected region of uniform visual properties (uniform connectedness) strongly tends to be organized as a single perceptual unit To test this hypothesis using briefly presented forms three experiments were executed. In Experiment 1 and 2 participants were asked to report the identity of a post-cued target. and there was no difference between connected and disconnected displays. In Experiment 3 participants were asked to report the predesignated name of each whole display and the accuracy rate was higher in the connected displays than in the disconnected ones. However negative repetition effects were observed consistently in all the experiments. This indicates uniform connectedness does not have a strong effect in perceiving briefly presented forms.

Sixty patients were divided into three groups. Each group of twenty persons had fed on different diet foods over 5 weeks. Cholesterol had been measured repeatedly five times at an interval of a week during 5 weeks. It resulted from mixed model analysis of repeated measurements data that homogeneous toeplitz covariance matrix pattern was selected as the optimal covariance pattern. The correlations between measurements of different times for the covariance matrix are somewhat highly correlated as 0.64-0.78. Based upon the homogeneous toeplitz covariance pattern model, the time effect was found to be highly significant, but the treatment effect and treatment-time interaction effect were found to be insignificant.

This paper proposes a new reconstruction method of high-resolution facial image from a low-resolution facial image based on top-down machine learning and recursive error back-projection. A face is represented by a linear combination of prototypes of shape and that of texture. With the shape and texture information of each pixel in a given low-resolution facial image, we can estimate optimal coefficients for a linear combination of prototypes of shape and those that of texture by solving least square minimizations. Then high-resolution facial image can be obtained by using the optimal coefficients for linear combination of the high-resolution prototypes. In addition, a recursive error back-projection procedure is applied to improve the reconstruction accuracy of high-resolution facial image. The encouraging results of the proposed method show that our method can be used to improve the performance of the face recognition by applying our method to reconstruct high-resolution facial images from low-resolution images captured at a distance.

Neural representation of a visual object is distributed across visual cortex and overlapped with those of many other objects. Thus repeating an object facilitates the recognition of the object while it impairs the recognition of other objects. These effects are called repetition priming and antipriming, respectively. Two experiments investigated a new phenomenon of repetition antipriming, in which a repeated object itself is antiprimed. The learning stage presented object pictures which were degraded at various levels. Participants determined how recognizable each object was. Then, the test stage presented the intact version of the object pictures and made participants to perform a categorization task. Both Experiment 1 and 2 found that the processing of the objects that had been recognized were facilitated (repetition priming) while the processing of the objects that had been perceptually ambiguous were impaired (repetition antipriming). These findings suggest that experiencing a perceptually ambiguous object might enhance the connection between feature-level representations and multiple object-level representations, which impairs the subsequent recognition of the repeated object.

In this study, direct tensile fatigue tests of the PS bar were performed in terms of diameter, minimum stress level, and maximum stress level. In the static test, the stress - strain curve and ultimate streng th of the PS bar were determined. Results of the fatigue test indicate that the diameter of the PS bar was not influenced by fatigue life. Minimum stress also had quite an influence on the fatigue of the PS bar. Thus, the fatigue characteristic equation was proposed in terms of stress range and minimum stress through statistical process. Strains on specimen that loaded direct tension were measured in the fatigue test, with the secant modulus of elasticity calculated from measured strains. The strain development consisted of three different stages, i.e., rapid increases during the initial fatigue life, uniform increases during the middle stage, and rapid increases until failure. The secant modulus of elasticity decreased during the fatigue life with increasing strain. However, stress level seemed to have no influence on the secant modulus of elasticity.

오디오 텍스처 합성은 주어진 짧은 오디오 클립으로부터 임의의 길이를 갖는 새로운 오디오 클립을 생성하는 방법이다. 이는 애니메이션이나 영화에서 비디오와 정확한 동기화를 이루는 사운드 효과를, 혹은 임의의 길이를 갖는 배경 음악을 효율적으로 만들 수 있는 방법이다. 최근 Lie Lu는 주어진 예제 오디오 클립을 여러 조각으로 나눈 후, 이 조각들을 그래프 형태로 연결하고, 생성된 그래프를 탐색하면서 임의의 길이를 가지는 오디오 클립을 합성하는 방법을 제안하였다. 비교적 간단한 방법으로도 원본 오디오 클립과 비슷한 느낌의 오디오 클립을 만들어낸다는 장점이 있지만, 이는 원본 내의 여러 오디오 조각들이 단지 지속적으로 연결되는 형태로 합성되기 때문에 종종 반복되는 느낌을 받는다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Lie Lu의 방법과는 달리 주어진 예제 오디오 클립을 직접 합성함으로써 반복성을 줄이면서도 원본과 비슷한 느낌을 갖는 결과 오디오 클립을 생성할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 정확한 합성을 위하여 EM 최적화 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 합성 방법은 먼저 예제 오디오 클립을 일정 단위로 나누고 이렇게 나눠진 부분들을 일정 길이만큼 서로 겹쳐지게 합성하여 임의의 길이의 오디오 클립을 만든다. 그 후 만들어진 오디오 클립을 예제 오디오 클립과 부분 부분을 비교하여 확장된 오디오 클립과 최대한 비슷한 부분을 예제 오디오 클립에서 찾는다. 그 다음 찾아진 결과를 결과 오디오에 다시 합성하여 오디오 클립을 만든다. 이런 과정을 반복하여 최적화된 가장 적절한 결과값을 구한다. 이 결과는 분할된 부분들이 가장 자연스럽게 이어지는 결과가 된다. 본 논문에서는 최적화를 사용하여 오디오를 합성하기 때문에 합성 결과를 쉽게 조정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 최적화 문제에 특정 제약 조건을 넣음으로써 사용자가 원하는 부분의 음악이 결과 사운드의 특정 부분에 위치 할 수 있게 하고 이로써 특정 흐름을 만들어낼 수 있으며, 일부가 손실된 사운드 데이터의 복구를 가능하게 하는 등의 결과를 생성할 수 있다. EM 최적화를 사용한 오디오 텍스처 합성 방법은 기존의 합성 방법에 비해 질적인 측면에서 보다 좋은 결과를 생성할 수 있고, 비교적 반복이 덜한 패턴들을 만들어 낼 수 있다. 이를 입증하기 위해 이에 대한 사용자 설문 조사 결과가 제시된다.

new computational procedure for the Non-Linear Vortex Lattice Method (NLVLM) is suggested in this work. Conventional procedures suggested so far usually involves inner iteration loop to update free vortex shape and an under-relaxation based iteration loop to determine the free vortex shape. In this present work, we suggest a new formula based on quasi-steady concept to fix free vortex shape which eliminates the need for inner iteration loop. Further, the ensemble averaging of the induced velocities for a given free vortex segment evaluated at each iteration significantly improves the convergence property of the algorithm without resorting to the under-relaxation technique. Numerical experiments over several low aspect ratio wings are carried out to obtain optimal empirical parameters such as the length of the free vortex segment, the vortex core radius, and the rolled-up wake length.

The firing pin of modern automatic rifles detonates the primer of loaded ammunition via a hammer. During this process, the firing pin receives an impact load and repetitive force throughout the life of the rifle. An endurance test of a rifle showed that the firing pin breaks prematurely at 96.26% of life. Accordingly, a case study was conducted through cause analysis and a reconstruction test. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the broken surface of the firing pin showed that a crack began in the circumferential direction of the surface, resulting in a fatigue crack to the core after repeated impact. Crack growth and fatigue destruction occurred at the end due to the repetitive impact and was estimated using a notch. For verification, a sample that produced a 0.03mm circumferential notch was broken at 64.25% of life in the reconstruction test. A test of breakage according to the notch types showed that a 0.3mm and a 0.5mm one-side notch were broken at 66.53% and 50.76%, respectively, and a 0.03mm six-point notch was broken at 85.65%. The endurance life of a sample firing pin with a rough surface and tool mark was examined, but an approximately 381 ㎛ internal crack formed. Through this study, failure for each notch type was considered. These results show that quality control of the notch and surface roughness is essential for ensuring the reliability of a component subjected to repeated impact.

Purpose: In this study, the changes in the shape of silicone hydrogel lenses, dryness of lens and objective/ subjective symptoms that could be induced by repeating dryness of lens and objective/subjective symptoms were investigated. Methods: After drying and rehydrating of silicone hydrogel lenses with different lens material and thickness for 4 times, their overall diameters and base curves were compared. Subjective symptoms, non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUTs) and blinking rate were evaluated after wearing dehydrated silicone hydrogel lens. Results: Overall diameter and base curve increased in all tested silicone hydrogel lenses by repeating dryness and rehydration. The degree of change in over all diameter and base curve were variable on the material. There were irregular change of lens parameters in thicker lens. When the subjects wore silicone hydrogel lenses after drying and rehydrating, their NIBUTs were decreased and blink rates were increased regardless of lens material or thickness. In addition, repetitive drying of silicone hydrogel lenses affected the lens fitting. Therefore, subjective symptoms such as itching, pain, irritation, foreign body sensation, dryness tended to be increased. Conclusions: The results obtained from the study may suggest to develop durable silicone hydrogel contact lenses against dry environment since the changes in parameters of silicone hydrogel lens and the subjective discomfort were observed after repetitive drying and rehydration.
