The use of real textures is the optimal way to present realistic textures in a VR (Virtual Reality) experience. However, a system may require the presentation of numerous objects in a VR scene, making the use of real objects impractical. One way to address this issue is to present visual and tactile texture information simultaneously such that multiple different visual textures are associated with one tactile sensation. This tactile sensation must differ from the visual information only to the extent that the user still perceives the stimuli as consistent. This study examines the consistency required for the simultaneous presentation of visual and tactile sensations for the purpose of reducing the number of necessary real textures in future VR systems. An experiment was conducted using one-dimensional textures (i.e., line gratings), in which participants were asked whether the presented visual texture was finer or coarser than the tactile texture. The results suggest that the relative size of the “permissible range” (the range over which the difference between the visual and tactile sensation is not recognized) is correlated with the spatial period of the real texture.

The effects of leakage and blockage on the acoustic performance of particle filters have been examined by using one-dimensional acoustic analysis and experimental methods. First, the transfer matrix of a filter system connected to inlet and outlet pipes with conical sections is measured using a two-load method. Then, the transfer matrix of a particle filter only is extracted from the experiments by applying inverse matrices of the conical sections. In the analytical approaches, the one-dimensional acoustic model for the leakage between the filter and the housing is developed. The predicted transmission loss shows a good agreement with the experimental results. Compared to the baseline, the leakage between the filter and housing increases transmission loss at a certain frequency and its harmonics. In addition, the transmission loss for the system with a partially blocked filter is measured. The blockage of the filter also increases the transmission loss at higher frequencies. For the simplicity of experiments to identify the leakage and blockage, the reflection coefficients at the inlet of the filter system have been measured using two different downstream conditions: open pipe and highly absorptive terminations. The experiments show that with highly absorptive terminations, it is easier to see the difference between the baseline and the defects.

AbstractPeople form coherent representations of goal-directed actions. Such agency experiences of intentional action are reflected by a shift in temporal perception: self-generated motor movements and subsequent sensory effects are perceived to occur closer together in time—a phenomenon termed intentional binding. Building on recent research suggesting that temporal binding occurs without intentionally performing actions, we further examined whether such perceptual compression occurs when motor action is fully absent. In three experiments, we used a novel sensory-based adaptation of the Libet clock paradigm to assess how a brief tactile sensation on the index finger and a resulting auditory stimulus perceptually bind together in time. Findings revealed robust temporal repulsion (instead of binding) between tactile sensation and auditory effect. Temporal repulsion was attenuated when participants could anticipate the identity and temporal onset (two crucial components of intentional action) of the tactile sensation. These findings are briefly discussed in the context of differences between intentional movement and anticipated bodily sensations in shaping action coherence and agentic experiences.

The theory of ultrasonic attenuation in metals is extended so that it applies to quasi one and two dimensional electronic systems. It is shown that the attenuation in such systems differs significantly from the well-known results for three dimensional systems. The difference is particularly marked for one dimensional systems, for which the attenuation is shown to be strongly temperature dependent.

A twin codend trawl was fished in the northern Baltic to study the size selectivity of square mesh and diamond mesh codends of 36-mm nominal mesh size. For each codend, 15 hauls were completed with a small mesh (20 mm) codend deployed on the other side of the trawl. The relative size of the catches in the two sides of the trawl varied considerably from haul to haul (the separator section was not operating properly) and selection curves were estimated from each individual haul using a method that incorporated the differences in catching efficiency of the two sides. The length of 50% retention decreased with increased catch for both the diamond and square mesh codends, although in neither case was this relationship statistically significant. Selection curves fitted to the combined haul data were asymmetric. The square mesh codend retained significantly less small herring than the diamond mesh codend, and for larger herring the two codends had similar selectivity. In both codends, most escapes occurred at the front of the catch bulge, from the upper side of the codend. At high catch rates, mesh blockage was observed for several metres ahead of the catch bulge during the later part of the tow.

The asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is a paradigmatic model for nonequilibrium systems and has been used in many applications. Airplane boarding provides another interesting example where this framework can be applied. We propose a simple model for boarding process, in which a particle moves along a one-dimensional aisle after being injected, and finally is removed at a reserved site. Different from the typical ASEP model, particles are removed in a disorderly or a parallel way. Detailed calculations and discussions of some related characteristics, such as mean boarding time and parallelism indicator, are provided based on Monte-Carlo simulations. Results show that three phases exist in the boarding process: free-flow, jamming and maximum current. Transitions between these phases are governed by the difference between the injection and removal rate. Further analysis shows how the scaling behavior depends on the system size and the boarding conditions. Those results emphasize the importance of utilizing the whole length of the aisle to reduce the boarding time when designing an efficient boarding strategy.

Recently, commingling production has been widely used for the development of offshore heavy oil reservoirs with multilayers. However, the differences between layers in terms of reservoir physical properties, oil properties and pressure have always resulted in interlayer interference, which makes it more difficult to evaluate the producing degree of commingled production. Based on the Buckley–Leverett theory, this paper presents two theoretical models, a one-dimensional linear flow model and a planar radial flow model, for water-flooded multilayer reservoirs. Through the models, this paper establishes a dynamic method to evaluate seepage resistance, sweep efficiency and recovery percent and then conducts an analysis with field data. The result indicates the following: (1) the dynamic difference in seepage resistance is an important form of interlayer interference during the commingled production of an offshore multilayer reservoir; (2) the difference between commingled production and separated production is small within a certain range of permeability ratio or viscosity ratio, but separated production should be adopted when the ratio exceeds a certain value.

Recent studies have shown that mind-wandering (MW) is associated with changes in eye movement parameters, but have not explored how MW affects the sequential pattern of eye movements involved in making sense of complex visual information. Eye movements naturally unfold over time and this process may reveal novel information about cognitive processing during MW. The current study used Recurrence Quantification Analysis (Anderson, Bischof, Laidlaw, Risko, & Kingstone, 2013) to describe the pattern of refixations (fixations directed to previously-inspected regions) during MW. Participants completed a real-world scene encoding task and responded to thought probes assessing intentional and unintentional MW. Both types of MW were associated with worse memory of the scenes. Importantly, RQA showed that scanpaths during unintentional MW were more repetitive than during on-task episodes, as indicated by a higher recurrence rate and more stereotypical fixation sequences. This increased repetitiveness suggests an adaptive response to processing failures through re-examining previous locations. Moreover, this increased repetitiveness contributed to fixations focusing on a smaller spatial scale of the stimuli. Finally, we were also able to validate several traditional measures: both intentional and unintentional MW were associated with fewer and longer fixations; Eye-blinking increased numerically during both types of MW but the difference was only significant for unintentional MW. Overall, the results advanced our understanding of how visual processing is affected during MW by highlighting the sequential aspect of eye movements.

The isotypic title one-dimensional coordination polymers, [CdCl2(C18H14N4O4)]n, (I), and [HgCl2(C18H14N4O4)]n, (II), are, respectively, the cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of the dimethyl ester of 5,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid. In both compounds, the metal ions are located on a twofold rotation axis and a second such axis bisects the Car—Carbonds of the pyrazine ring. The metal ions are bridged by binding to the N atoms of the two pyridine rings and have anMN2Cl2bisphenoidal coordination geometry. The metal–Npyrazinedistances are much longer than the metal–Npyridinedistances; the difference is 0.389 (2) Å for the Cd—N bonds but only 0.286 (5) Å for the Hg—N bond lengths. In the crystals of both compounds, the polymer chains are linkedviapairs of C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming corrugated slabs parallel to theacplane.

This chapter covers the various problems arising in the estimation of the integrated volatility when the observations are contaminated by a noise. The approach used is quite partial, and fundamentally phenomenological, in contrast with a microeconomical approach. That is, the authors assumed the existence of an underlying (nonobservable) efficient price, and what is called noise below is by definition the difference between the observed price and the efficient price. Henceforth, it certainly does not apply to tick-by-tick data, even if these were regularly spaced in time (which they are not). In the whole chapter, with the exception of one section, the underlying process X is one-dimensional.
