When the picture is complete, crowding disappears, and grouping rules

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Mauro Manassi

In crowding, the perception of a target strongly deteriorates when flanked by neighboring elements. Crowding is often explained in terms of pooling, i.e., averaging target and flanker signals. The pooling hypothesis predicts stronger crowding when the numb ...

Optimal polarization synthesis of arbitrary arrays with focused power pattern

Benjamin Fuchs

The joint synthesis of the spatial power pattern and polarization of arbitrary arrays is addressed. Specifically, the proposed approach gives the solution to a frequently encountered problem, namely the array design (i.e., the determination of the radiatin ...

Array-Code Ensembles -or- Two-Dimensional LDPC Codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Yuval Cassuto

Probabilistic construction of codes on two-dimensional arrays is proposed and analyzed. Instead of a pure combinatorial erasure model used in traditional array codes, we propose a mixed combinatorial-probabilistic model of limiting the number of column fai ...

Hypergraph Clustering for Better Network Traffic Inspection

Boi Faltings, Li Pu

Networked computing environments are subject to configuration errors, unauthorized users, undesired activities and attacks by malicious software. These can be detected by monitoring network traffic, but network administrators are overwhelmed by the amount ...

Grouping trumps pooling and centroids in crowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Mauro Manassi

In the periphery, discrimination of a target is usually impaired by flanking elements. This crowding effect is often explained in terms of pooling, ie target and flanker signals are averaged. The pooling hypothesis predicts stronger crowding when more flan ...

Some stochastic comparisons in series systems with active redundancy

We compare the lifetimes of series systems with different allocations of active redundancy using a variety of stochastic comparisons. It is assumed that only one spare can be allocated to each component of the system. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights rese ...

Fast high-dimensional Bayesian classification and clustering

Vahid Partovi Nia

We introduce a fast approach to classification and clustering applicable to high-dimensional continuous data, based on Bayesian mixture models for which explicit computations are available. This permits us to treat classification and clustering in a single ...

1.3µm-wavelength phase-locked VCSEL arrays incorporating patterned tunnel junction

Elyahou Kapon, Alexandru Mereuta, Vladimir Iakovlev, Alexei Sirbu, Andrei Caliman, Lukas Mutter

We report the fabrication and the performance of phase-locked VCSEL arrays emitting near 1310 nm wavelength. The arrays were fabricated using double wafer fusion by patterning a tunnel junction layer, which serves to define the individual single mode array ...

Heat wave propagation in a nonlinear chain

Francesco Piazza

We investigate the propagation of temperature perturbations in an array of coupled nonlinear oscillators at finite temperature. We evaluate the response function at equilibrium and show how the memory effects affect the diffusion properties. A comparison w ...

Global stimulus configuration modulates crowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Toni Saarela

In crowding, neighboring elements impair the perception of a peripherally presented target. Crowding is often regarded to be a consequence of spatial pooling of information that leads to the perception of textural wholes. We studied the effects of stimulus ...
