Unlabelled: is to assess the accuracy of spatial object localization in mono and stereo modes of visual-to-auditory sensory substitution by means of the developed system tested on persons with normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
Materials And Methods: A prototype of a visual-to-auditory sensory substitution device based on a video camera with two lenses was prepared. Software to convert the signal from a video camera into an audio signal in mono and stereo modes was developed.To assess the developed system, an experimental study with 30 blindfolded sighted participants was conducted. 15 persons were tested in mono mode, 15 - in stereo mode. All persons were trained to use the visual-to-auditory sensory substitution system. During the experiment, participants were to locate a white plastic cube with dimensions of 4×4×4 cm on a working surface. The researcher placed the cube in one of 20 positions on the working surface in a pseudo-random order.
Results: To assess the accuracy of the cube localization, deviations along the and -axes and absolute deviations were calculated. The general dynamics of localization accuracy was positive both in mono and stereo modes. Absolute deviation and -axis deviation were significantly higher in stereo mode; there was no significant difference in -axis deviation between modes. On average, participants tended to underestimate the distance to the cube when it was on the left, right, or far side of the working surface, and overestimate the distance to the cube when it was on the near side of the working surface.
Conclusion: Tests demonstrated that the accuracy of object localization in stereo mode can be improved by increasing the time for training the participants and by showing them more presentations. The results of the study can be used to develop assistive techniques for people with visual impairments, to manufacture medical equipment, and create brain-computer interfaces.

Binocular vision may serve as a good model for research on awareness. Binocular summation (BS) can be defined as the superiority of binocular over monocular visual performance. Early studies of BS found an improvement of a factor of about 1.

Introduction: Although sagittal alignment is known to influence pelvic position, few studies accurately identify the relationship between sagittal alignment and acetabular orientation. We hypothesized that postoperative PT should be correlated with acetabular change in native hips after surgical correction of adult spinal deformity. The objective of this study was therefore to describe the correlation between the change in pelvic tilt and the change in acetabular orientation two years after surgical correction of adult spinal deformity.

Oxidized phospholipids (oxPLs) are generated during innate immunity and inflammation, where they play a variety of biological roles, including regulation of autoimmunity and coagulation. Some are generated by enzymatic reactions, leading to stereo- and regiospecificity, while many others can be formed through nonenzymatic oxidation and truncation and can be used as biomarkers of oxidative stress. Mass spectrometry methods have been developed over many years for oxPL analysis, which can provide robust estimations of molecular species and amounts, where standards are available.

The receptive field (RF) is the fundamental processing unit of human vision; both masking and crowding depend on its size. The RF has a psychophysical corresponding term, the perceptive field (PF); whereas the RF is measured physiologically, the PF is measured psychophysically (a perceptual response). We investigated how spatial (lateral interactions), temporal (the stimulus presentation time), and the procedure affect the PF size for both monocular and binocular viewing.

Rieske non-heme iron oxygenases are ubiquitously expressed in prokaryotes. These enzymes catalyze a wide variety of reactions, including cis-dihydroxylation, mono-hydroxylation, sulfoxidation, and demethylation. They contain a Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] cluster and an active site with a mono-nuclear iron bound to a 2-His carboxylate triad.
