Readiness for modal shift in Scotland

Scottish Geographical Journal, 2004
Abstract This paper examines the readiness for modal shift in Scotland from car use to more sustainable modes of transport. National statistics show the scale of car ownership and the extent of car use in Scotland. Findings from a number of recent studies are used to place car use in the context of other transport mode use, to examine reasons for non ...

Cross-Modal Control of Attention Shifts

1998
Abstract The study of the control of visual attention in space is one of the most exciting and rewarding directions of modern cognitive science re search, as the other chapters in this book amply demonstrate. However, the modern study of attention began in the auditory domain, and for many years much of what we learned about attention

An optimization modal for spectral shift estimation

2009 2nd Asian-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar, 2009
Multiple SAR images of the same area from slightly different slant angles show relative spectral shifts, which is used to improve the slant range resolution by combining their spectra. In the paper, an optimization modal, which maximizes the combined image's amplitude, is proposed to estimate the spectral shift.

Monetary Cost of a Modal Shift

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1998
Placing an economic dollar value on the environmental impacts of shifting products from the waterway mode to a land mode is presented. Since the original study, completed in 1991, two of the three modal shift examples discussed have taken place. What caused the modal shifts to take place and their merits are also examined.

Modality Shifts in the Translation of Chinese Modality Markers

2018
As discussed in Sect. 3.2.2, 15 Chinese modal forms are identified as high-frequency Chinese modality markers for the present study. Similar to the study of English modality markers, negative patterns (e.g., 不能, 不会) and noisy homonyms (e.g., 将 as a preposition, 需要 as a lexical verb followed by a nominal object) are discarded. In addition, compared with
