The Café Wall Illusion: Local and Global Perception from Multiple Scales to Multiscale by Nasim Nematzadeh, David M. W. Powers

“…We present here a predictive and quantitative approach for modelling foveal and peripheral vision for the induced tilt in the Café Wall illusion, in which parallel mortar lines between shifted rows of black and white tiles appear to converge and diverge. Difference of Gaussians is used to define a bioderived filtering model for the responses of retinal simple cells to the stimulus, while an analytical processing pipeline is developed to quantify the angle of tilt in the model and develop confidence intervals around them. …”

Climate effect on rainfed wheat production in Zarfshan valley with emphasis on Ryan Panjkent by Mohamad hosein hoseini rozbahani

“…The prediction was evaluated with observational data and also through Anova correlation and test between climatic parameters and production of rainfed wheat per hectare by Toronto White Climate Method. Connection results between climatic parameters and rainfed wheat production Using the analysis of variance (F) test and comparison with the table of coefficients of F showed; There is a significant relationship between rainfall in May and maximum temperature in June with wheat production and also rainfall in October, maximum temperature in November with rainfed wheat production in Panjkent station, there is no significant relationship per hectare.…”
