To Distort or Not to Distort

Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2018
Distance Cartograms (DC) distort geographical features so that the measured distance between a single location and any other location on a map indicates absolute travel time. Although studies show that users can efficiently assess travel time with DC, distortion applied in DC may confuse users, and its usefulness "in the wild" is unknown. To understand

Waveform distortion and distortion power

IEE Proceedings B Electric Power Applications, 1992
The distortionless conditions between nonsinusoidal voltages and currents are deduced, and the definitions of distortion current, distortion voltage and distortion power are introduced. The authors discuss some current formulas for nonsinusoidal power.

UNDERWATER DISTORTION: AND PLAIN DISTORTION

British Journal of Psychology, 1972
In a paper on underwater distortion of size Ross et al. (1970) report results which they claim to be at variance with a theory they attribute to Taylor. The so‐called theory is actually a deduction from Taylor's theory of perception and, when it is correctly stated, it is confirmed by the ...

Deep distortion

Memory, 2020
Conventional false memories recount events that either did not happen (item errors) or that happened in a different context (source errors). Fuzzy-trace theory predicts deeper anomalies that lie behind conventional false memories. These deep distortions are structural irregularities in the ways that specific recountings are related to each other or to ...

The Measurement of Distortion Current and Distortion Power

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 1984
A converter for resolving current or voltage into three mutually orthogonal components-active, reactive, and distortion-is suggested. The described system confirms the possibility of measuring the distortion current and distortion power on the basis of the time-domain approach.

Fearful distortions

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 1992
Clinical observations suggesting that perceptual distortions can take place during episodes of fear are described, and two hypotheses are set out: (1) perceptual distortions occur during episodes of fear, and (2) such distortions decline after reduction of the pertinent fear.

Distortion and Deformation, Measures of Distortion

1976
In ordinary English the terms distortion and deformation are roughly synonymous. Both refer to a change in shape or configuration of a body. Thus we can speak of distortion or deformation of the fossil in Figure 14.1. We know there has been a change in configuration of this shell because the hinge line and the median line are no longer perpendicular to
