In this paper we discussed the observational aspects of rotation in the Universe on different scales. We show dependence between the angular momentum of the structures and their size. The presented observational situation is that the galaxies, their pairs and compact groups have a non-vanishing angular momentum. In the structures of mass corresponding to groups of galaxies, this feature has not been found, while in the clusters and superclusters, alignment of galaxy orientation has been actually found. Also we know that galaxies have net angular momentum due to the fact that we actually measure the rotation curves of galaxies. These facts lead to the conclusion that theories which connect galaxy angular momentum with its surrounding structure are at some extend favored by data. We show that in the light of scenarios of galaxy formations this result could be interpreted as an effect of tidal force's mechanism, but it is also consistent with Li's model, in which galaxies form in the rotating universe. The theoretical and observational aspects of possible global rotation of the Universe were discussed as well.

In order to localize cerebral cognitive or sensorimotor function, activation paradigms are being used in conjunction with PET measures of cerebral activity (e.g., rCBF). The changes in local cerebral activity have two components: a global, region independent change and a local or regional change. As the first step in localizing the regional effects of an activation, global variance must be removed by a normalization procedure. A simple normalization procedure is division of regional values by the whole brain mean. This requires the dependence of local activity on global activity to be one of simple proportionality. This is shown not to be the case. Furthermore, a systematic deviation from a proportional relationship across brain regions is demonstrated. Consequently, any normalization must be approached on a pixel-by-pixel basis by measuring the change in local activity and change in global activity. The changes associated with an activation can be partitioned into global and local effects according to two models: one assumes that the increase in local activity depends on global values and the other assumes independence. It is shown that the increase in activity due to a cognitive activation is independent of global activity. This independence of the (activation) condition effect and the confounding linear effect of global activity on observed local activity meet the requirements for an analysis of covariance, with the “nuisance” variable as global activity and the activation condition as the categorical independent variable. These conclusions are based on analysis of data from 24 scans: six conditions over four normal subjects using a verbal fluency paradigm. A technique is described based on ANCOVA and using statistical parametric mapping to localize foci in the brain that have been significantly perturbed by the cognitive tasks. This technique represents a fundamental and necessary departure from ROI-based approaches allowing the separation of global and local effects pixel by pixel, and provides an image of affected regions whose significance can be quantified. The specificity and sensitivity of the described method of change detection is assessed.

Abstract. Love, Rouder, and Wisniewski (1999 ) and Ripoll and Marty (2005 ) showed that subjects could process global properties very quickly in a same/different task on abstract visual scenes for which the conspicuity of local and global properties had been controlled. In this new experiment, two important new factors were manipulated: saliency of the global pattern and location of local similarity. The results showed that the saliency of the global form as well as the location of local similarity determines the strength of global and local effects. Global effects continue to manifest themselves even when the extraction of the global form is difficult. Finally, the whole pattern of results suggests that local and global processing proceeds simultaneously and involves two attentional systems whose spatial characteristics are very different.

This article describes a series of model tests conducted to examine extreme wave events associated with tropical cyclonic conditions and their impacts on an offshore deck structure. Extreme waves of a representative cyclonic sea state were examined in a towing tank within long-crested irregular wave trains. Experimental results presented include global forces and localised slamming pressures acting on a rigidly mounted box-shaped deck, which represents a simplified topside structure of a tension leg platform. The effect of static set-down on the still-water air gap was investigated by applying an equivalent reduction for the deck clearance. It was found that a small reduction of 20 mm (2.5 m full scale) in the original deck clearance can lead to a doubling of the magnitude of the horizontal force and the vertical upward-directed force components, as well as significantly increased slamming pressures in many locations on the deck underside.
