Neural computation of depth from binocular disparity
… convolutional neural networks, we found that disparity encoding in primary visual cortex can be explained by shallow, feed-forward networks optimized to extract absolute depth from naturalistic images. These networks develop physiologically plausible receptive fields, and predict neural …

The Venetian blind effect: Contrast disparity modulation in irradiation stereoscopy
<p>In Experiment 1 we measured contrast disparity thresholds for the perception of slant in the venetian blind effect for a square-wave carrier spatial frequency of 3.14 c/deg and square-wave modulation spatial frequencies of 0.26, 0.39, 0.79, and 1.57 c/deg.</p><p>In Experiment 2 we increased the …

Addressing Allocation and Disparity in Methods of Life Cycle Inventory
<p>Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an environmental management standard practiced by a wide variety of government, industrial and academic users as a tool for understanding the broader environmental consequences incurred due to provision of materials and services. Before these impacts can be …

Molecular Mechanisms That Govern Human Cardiac Stem Cell Age Disparity
<p>Transplantation of adult endogenous cardiovascular progenitor cells for heart repair results in some clinical benefit, however these stem cells lack the regenerative capacity unique to neonatal cardiovascular stem cells. The goal of this work was to identify mechanisms that contribute to the …

Toward a Community-Centric Approach to Address School Discipline Disparity
… </p><p> The relationship of race and discipline disparity is utilized through this agenda to illustrate how knowing is not always enough to transform practices; even when the practice has demonstrated in the research to cause harm both disproportionately and at a disparate rate. And often, …

CEO-to-worker Pay Disparity and the Cost of Debt
Prior research on intra-firm pay disparity suggests intra-firm pay disparity at various hierarchy levels affects firm performance and executive-level pay disparity is related to investment risk in the credit and the equity market. However, none of the studies examine the relationship between …
