Sensory adaptation reflects the fact that the responsiveness of a perceptual system changes after the processing of a specific stimulus. Two manifestations of this property have been used in order to infer the mechanisms underlying vision: priming, in whic ...

Experimental evidence has consistently confirmed the ability of uninformed traders, even novices, to infer information from the trading process. After contrasting brain activation in subjects watching markets with and without insiders, we hypothesize that ...
This paper provides empirical evidence on the theoretical literature on voluntary agreements. The case study on fuel efficiency standards for passenger cars in Switzerland investigates the motivation for signing as well as the performance of the agreement. ...
We report an empirical study where we investigated the effects, on the collaborative outcomes and processes, of a cognition-related awareness tool providing learners with cues about their peer’s level of prior knowledge. Sixty-four university students part ...
In this paper, analysis of a novel class of A/D converters based on asynchronous delta modulation (DM) is presented and a high level model is realized for the same. Using the high level model, analytical expressions are derived for the calculation of the i ...

The notion of habiter (inhabiting in both a transitive and intransitive sense), developed in the course of the second half of the 20th century, made it possible to place the human individual in the center of spatial theories. Of phenomenological inspiratio ...
Femtosecond laser micromachining of glass material using low-energy, sub-ablation threshold pulses find numerous applications in the fields of integrated optics, lab-on-a-chips and microsystems in general. In this paper, we study the influence of the laser ...
A large body of empirical evidence suggests that beliefs systematically deviate from perfect rationality. Much of the evidence implies that economic agents tend to form forecasts that are excessively influenced by recent changes. We present a parsimonious ...
Taking inspiration from approximate ranking, this paper nvestigates the use of rank-based Support Vector Machine as surrogate model within CMA-ES, enforcing the invariance of the approach with respect to monotonous transformations of the fitness function. ...
Animated graphics are extensively used in multimedia instructions explaining how natural or artificial dynamic systems work. As animation directly depicts spatial changes over time, it is legitimate to believe that animated graphics will improve comprehens ...
