Pantropical Jumping Spiders in Florida by Glavis B. Edwards, Jr.

“… Jumping spiders, or salticids, are so named because they have a highly coordinated jumping ability with which they capture prey and traverse from plant to plant. Their sense of sight is extraordinary for invertebrates; they can see in color (DeVoe 1975), and the large front eyes focus on objects (Land 1972). …”

AGN Obscuration and the Unified Model by Stefano Bianchi, Roberto Maiolino, Guido Risaliti

“…Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of sight to the observer. The key ingredient of these models is the obscuring medium, historically envisaged as a toroidal structure on a parsec scale. …”

Modeling Injury Severity for Nighttime and Daytime Crashes by Using Random Parameter Logit Models Accounting for Heterogeneity in Means and Variances by Chenzhu Wang, Ping Zhang, Fei Chen, Jianchuan Cheng

“…By using a random parameter approach to account for unobserved heterogeneity, multivariate logit (RPML) models are proposed to analyze the crash severity based on the explanatory factors in terms of the crash, traffic, speed, road geometry, and sight characteristics. The goodness-of-fit and predictive measures highlight the better performance of the proposed models relative to standard models, as the proposed models reduce the unobserved heterogeneity and yield higher precision. …”

Pathloss Model of Distance Independent for Indoor Area by Rumin Yang, Qiyi Dai, Chengbo Yu

“…A pure statistical indoor path-loss model was proposed with an eye to address the problems of distance dependence and of line-of-sight（LOS）or non-LOS uncertainty，which lie in most conventional path-loss models.In the model，the path length（distance）was taken as a random variable，and the uncertainty of LOS or NLOS was represented by an alternating frequency between LOS and non-LOS channel conditions.Without knowing the priori path length，the model can estimate or predict the loss of path based on the priori knowledge of the radius of operating space，of the LOS/NLOS alternating frequency and of a confidence interval describing the path quality.In addition，three quality of services（QoS）for different quality requirements were proposed in order to conserve energy.As opposed to assuming fixed available power or covering the largest possible distance，which is typical in conventional models，the QoS-oriented model has significant advantages on resource allocation and energy conservation.Through a case study，it is indicated that this model is simple and practical.…”

“When the bear won't go hunt”: masculinity in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night by Jean-Louis CLARET

“…His encounter with a young eunuch – a cross-dressed young woman – will enable him to reassert a masculinity he seemed to have lost sight of. The haunting figures of Narcissus and Echo find a strange echo in the main characters who prove particularly resilient and clearly subservient to the structural requirements of the comedy. …”

Of Ruskinian Topography: Visible and Legible Salience in Modern Painters by Laurence Roussillon-Constanty

“…As contemporary critics have shown, John Ruskin’s lifelong interest in geology not only provided him with a unique understanding of the mountain as a painting subject but also allowed him to develop an idiosyncratic theory of perception where movement and salience prevail – a theory he then applied to his often memorable prose. At first sight, salience is one feature of landscape that one can easily visually apprehend but much less easily account for in prose writing. …”

Plasticity of the Dorsal “Spatial” Stream in Visually Deprived Individuals by Giulia Dormal, Franco Lepore, Olivier Collignon

“…Bringing together evidence from cataract-reversal individuals, early- and late-blind individuals and sight-recovery cases of long-standing blindness, we suggest that the dorsal “spatial” pathway is mostly plastic early in life and is then more resistant to subsequent experience once it is set, highlighting some limits of neuroplasticity.…”

Beam Expansion of Blind Spot Detection Radar Antennas Using a Radome with Defected Corrugated Inner Wall by Hayeon Kim, Haengseon Lee, Jeonghoon Cho, Cheolbok Kim

“…The radar used for blind spot detection (BSD) requires a very wide beam width to ensure longer time for tracking out-of-sight objects. It is found that the corrugations modulate the phase velocities of the waves along the surface, which increases beam width in the far field. …”

« To see beyond the horizon of mere selfishness » : l’horizon moral dans les romans de George Eliot by Benjamine Toussaint

“…Her characters’ moral odyssey is about learning to see beyond the limits of their own self-centered experience; however, as Lydgate underlines in Middlemarch, « a man’s mind must be continually expanding and shrinking between the whole human horizon and the horizon of an object-glass. » We shall therefore focus not only on George Eliot’s insistence on the necessity « to see beyond the horizon of mere selfishness » but also on the idea that a genuine moral horizon can only exist in her eyes if people develop the capacity to contemplate various horizons, not only the most distant ones but also those that are the closest to them so that they should not neglect the sufferings of individuals for the sake of abstract ideals. Sight and vision are clearly linked in George Eliot’s novels and so is the notion of sympathy since Lydgate compares the idea of the mind shrinking and expanding with that of « a systole and a diastole » thus implicitly referring to the beating of the heart.…”
