Perceiving animacy from shape [PDF]

, 2017
Superordinate visual classification—for example, identifying an image as “animal,” “plant,” or “mineral”—is computationally challenging because radically different items (e.g., “octopus,” “dog”) must be grouped into a common class (“animal”).

A shape fibration with fibers of different shape [PDF]

Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 1979
Let E and B be metric continua. Let p:E~>B be a shape fibration in the sense of Mardesic and Rushing. If B is arcwise connected, then all the fibers of p have the same shape. This is also true if B is connected by shape paths in the sense of Krasinkiewicz and Mine.

The Effects of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Gastrointestinal Responses to a Simulated Football Match

European Journal of Sport Science
This study evaluated the effects of a simulated football match on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, damage and indirect markers of gut barrier integrity, and investigated whether GI responses are modulated by menstrual cycle (MC) phase. Twelve eumenorrheic

The reproducibility of dendritic cell and T cell counts to a 30‐min high‐intensity cycling protocol as a tool to highlight overtraining

Experimental Physiology
Heavy training has been reported to be immunosuppressive in athletes and lead to blunted cortisol responses to exercise. Cortisol elevates the number of dendritic cells (DCs), key antigen‐presenting cells that interact with T cells to initiate an immune ...

High intensity intermittent games-based activity and adolescents’ cognition: moderating effect of physical fitness

BMC Public Health, 2018
Background An acute bout of exercise elicits a beneficial effect on subsequent cognitive function in adolescents. The effect of games-based activity, an ecologically valid and attractive exercise model for young people, remains unknown; as does the ...

Shape of Deconstruction

, 2003
We construct a six-dimensional Maxwell theory using a latticized extra space, the continuum limit of which is a shifted torus recently discussed by Dienes.

The Shape of Space

, 2013
We consider the shape of “visual space”. One immediate complication is that there are numerous “visual spaces”, often confused in the literature. Here we focus on visual awareness, rather than optically guided behavior, and “contemplative”, rather than “enactive” vision.

Shapes, structures and shape grammar implementation [PDF]

Computer-Aided Design, 2019
Abstract Shape grammars are a generative formalism in which dynamic changes to shape structure plays a vital role. Such changes support ambiguity and emergence, and as a result shape grammars are often used as the basis for proposed developments in supporting shape exploration in computer-aided design.

Quintessence from Shape Moduli

, 2003
We show that shape moduli in sub-millimeter extra dimensional scenarios, addressing the gauge hierarchy problem, can dominate the energy density of the universe today.
