Temporal properties of avalanche dynamics
… phase transition. In this thesis we explore some temporal properties of experimental slip avalanche dynamics. These properties include aftershocks and foreshocks of slip avalanches in a bulk metallic glass, oscillations in the experimental setup affecting the ongoing avalanche dynamics, and …

TEMPORAL PROPERTIES IN JAPANESE (TENSE, CONDITIONALS).
… as (r)u ("non-past") and ta ("past"), and their temporal interpretation. The goal of the research reported here is to establish a simple overall theory. The analysis focuses on the following sentence types: simple sentences, complex sentences (without conditional sentences), conditional complex …

Spatio-temporal properties of membrane-localized actin nucleating complexes
… of these complexes, I investigated the dynamic properties and spatial organization of actin regulatory factors, using an in vitro reconstitution assay for filopodia-like structures (FLS) utilizing artificial lipid bilayers and Xenopus laevis egg extracts. FRAP analysis of seven actin regulatory …

The investigation of intrinsic spectral and temporal properties of gamma-ray bursts
… to decern information regarding the intrinsic properties of these events. In this thesis, I present a compilation of research describing our efforts to investigate the intrinsic properties of GRBs. The thesis is broken down into chapters including an introduction to the field of GRB astronomy, …

Development of thermal displays for haptic interfaces
… To date, thermal icon studies have only used the temporal properties of stimuli and not the spatial properties. A set of two experiments was conducted to examine how the spatial and temporal properties of thermal stimuli interact. The results showed that the temporal properties of thermal …

Predicate Diagrams as Basis for the Verification of Reactive Systems
… proposes a diagram-based formalism for verifying temporal properties of reactive systems. Diagrams integrate deductive and algorithmic verification techniques for the verification of finite and infinite-state systems, thus combining the expressive power and flexibility of deduction with the …

Real-Time Embedded Software Modeling and Synthesis using Polychronous Data Flow Languages
… platforms become more complicated, many safety properties are left to simulation and testing. MRICDF is a formal polychronous language used to guarantee certain safety properties and alleviate the burden of software development and testing. We propose real-time extensions to MRICDF so that …

The Perfect, Singular Moment, When Reality Looks Back at You to Show, Exactly, What She Has Been Hiding All This Time: Nothing
… is rooted in a material practice and in the temporal apprehension of objects and everyday materials, extending and complexifying the concept of the readymade (as first introduced by Marcel Duchamp). The focus on materiality separates this research from more traditional time-based art …

Experience and time
We are no less directly acquainted with the temporal structure of the world than with its spatial structure. We hear one word succeeding another; feel two taps as simultaneous; or see the glow of a firework persisting, before it finally fizzles and fades. However, time is special, for we not only …

An Alternate Approach to Ecosystem Mapping: Fusing Orthophotography with LANDSAT ETM+ Data for a Object-Based Classification, South Eastern Arkansas.
… dataset with enhanced spectral, spectral and temporal properties, and processed to obtain a object-based classification of land cover of bottomland and pine hardwood forest in south eastern Arkansas. Three classification techniques were evaluated: 1) a human derived, rule based method, 2) A …

Neural Processing in the Three Layer Turtle Visual Cortex
… field potential activity.To investigate response properties, we explore spatial properties of receptive fields, temporal properties of spontaneous and evoked activity, response adaptation, and correlations between different types of activity as well as between activity recorded in different …

Direct current stimulation modulates LTP and LTD: activity-dependence and dendritic effects
… dependence of DCS effects on the spatial and temporal properties of endogenous synaptic activity.</p>

Sea clutter simulation
… of sea clutter characteristics including the temporal properties of the return signals as observed by a maritime surveillance radar system. The compound K distribution model used to generate clutter amplitude statistic enables the simulation of sea clutter with a good level of approximation to …

Integration of phonological information in obstruent consonant identification
… phonological dimensions (e.g., spectral and temporal properties of stop consonants in voicing contrasts). Many fewer studies have addressed relationships between phonological dimensions. Most such studies have focused on the perception of sequences of phones (e.g., 'bid', 'bed', 'bit', …

Masking in Central Visual Field Under a Variety of Temporal and Spatial Configurations
… These two forms, which are characterized by the temporal properties of the stimuli, are often used to probe different underlying masking mechanisms, and the two forms typically employ a unique set of spatial characteristics of the mask. This clustering of stimulus properties makes it challenging …

Structural and functional distinctions between auditory centers revealed with MRI in living humans
… in cortex), with thalamus showing intermediate properties. The second study identified functional distinctions between cortical areas by spatially mapping the temporal properties of fMRI responses. Using a continuous noise stimulus, we found sustained responses on Heschl's gyrus flanked medially …

Lifetime of Human Visual Sensory Memory: Properties and Neural Substrate
… Such a "luminance effect" is consistent with the temporal properties of the spatial frequency channels in the visual pathway, most likely revealing the differences in the time course of the decay of the memory traces in these channels. To identify the neural substrate of VSM, the lifetime for the …
