Prism tableaux and alternating sign matrices
… joint work with A. Yong, the author introduced prism tableaux. A prism tableau consists of a tuple of tableaux, positioned within an ambient grid. With A. Yong, the author gave a formula for Schubert polynomials using prism tableaux. We continue the study of prism tableaux, detailing their …

Prism Adaptation Effects on the Attentional Window
<p>Prism adaptation, a visuomotor adaptation procedure that employs a lateral shift of the visual field, has been widely shown to affect lateral biases in the distribution of spatial attention in healthy individuals. The effects of prism adaptation on the size of the attentional window, the limited …

Single-lens multi-ocular stereovision using prism
A novel single-lens stereovision system using prism is introduced. An image captured by this system can be split into multiple different sub-images which can be considered as the images captured by a group of virtual cameras generated by the prism. Hence this system can simultaneously obtain …

Prism adaptation in a case of cerebellar agenesis
… adapt quickly to the displacing effects of prism goggles. A measure of this adaptation comes from the negative aftereffects in reaching that subjects show after the prism goggles are removed. Neural circuitry within the cerebellar cortex has been implicated as the site of plasticity for …

Induced path number for the complementary prism of a grid graph
… that each subset induces a path. A complementary prism of a graph G that we will refer to as CP(G) is the graph formed from the disjoint union of G and G_bar and adding the edges between the corresponding vertices of G and G_bar. These new edges are called prism edges. The graph grid(n,m) is the …
