AbstractThe classically defined receptive fields of V4 cells are confined almost entirely to the contralateral visual field. However, these receptive fields are often surrounded by large, silent suppressive regions, and stimulating the surrounds can cause a complete suppression of response to a simultaneously presented stimulus within the receptive field. We investigated whether the suppressive surrounds might extend across the midline into the ipsilateral visual field and, if so, whether the surrounds were dependent on the corpus callosum, which has a widespread distribution in V4. We found that the surrounds of more than half of the cells tested in the central visual field representation of V4 crossed into the ipsilateral visual field, with some extending up to at least 16 deg from the vertical meridian. Much of this suppression from the ipsilateral field was mediated by the corpus callosum, as section of the callosum dramatically reduced both the strength and extent of the surrounds. There remained, however, some residual suppression that was not further reduced by addition of an anterior commissure lesion. Because the residual ipsilateral suppression was similar in magnitude and extent to that found following section of the optic tract contralateral to the V4 recording, we concluded that it was retinal in origin. Using the same techniques employed in V4, we also mapped the ipsilateral extent of surrounds in the foveal representation of VI in an intact monkey. Results were very similar to those in V4 following commissural or contralateral tract sections. The findings suggest that V4 is a central site for long-range interactions both within and across the two visual hemifields. Taken with previous work, the results are consistent with the notion that the large suppressive surrounds of V4 neurons contribute to the neural mechanisms of color constancy and figure-ground separation.

Abstract The droplet injection experiments to be performed in a 7 × 7 rod bundle heat transfer test facility are being simulated using an advanced thermal hydraulics computer code called COBRA-TF. A current version of the code, which provides a three-dimensional, two-fluid, three-field representation of the two-phase flow, is modified to facilitate the simulation of the droplet field produced by the injection system in the test facility. The liquid phase is split into a continuous liquid field and droplet field where a separate momentum and mass equation is solved for each field, with the effects of spacer grids being properly accounted for. Pre-test analyses using the modified COBRA-TF code have been conducted for different injection conditions. Results indicate that there are specific ranges of conditions that can be simulated within the facility constraints to provide for validation of the dispersed flow film boiling models. The numerical results also show important effects of the spacer grids on the local heat transfer in the dispersed flow film boiling regime.

Using free field representation of quantum affine algebra [Formula: see text], we investigate the structure of the Fock modules over [Formula: see text]. The analysis is based on a q-analog of the BRST formalism given by Bernard and Felder in the affine Kac-Moody algebra [Formula: see text]. We give an explicit construction of the singular vectors using the BRST charge. By the same cohomology analysis as the classical case (q=1), we obtain the irreducible highest weight representation space as a non-trivial cohomology group. This enables us to calculate a trace of the q-vertex operators over this space.
