Mutianyu has one of the most awe-inspiring views in all of China: the solid ancient wall, studded with parapets, receding infinitely in either direction over the empty brown hills.
The parabola is symmetric about its axis, moving farther from the axis as the curve recedes in the direction away from its vertex.
They indeed found this to be the case: Moving objects led to prior entry, but the amounts did not differ for the two types of motion direction (looming or receding).
Receding lines converge in all directions, including upward.
For each observer, d-primes were computed for each of the six combinations of direction of perspective cue (receding plw vs. looming plw) and sound condition (no sound, looming sound, receding sound for the orthographic plw).
Infinite Reys stand in a line, receding into the distance in both directions.
In the case of the hemiround-rods close-packed models, we find that the contact angles, measured from the direction parallel to the rods, resemble the advancing and receding angles of contact angle hysteresis.
Listeners also have greater speed discrimination for looming sounds than for receding sounds even when they only hear sounds that travel in one direction.
The flood defences that failed over the weekend were now acting as a barrier in the opposite direction, the BBC's Ben Ando said, preventing the flood waters receding as quickly as they otherwise would.
The sounds of the traffic whirlpool swirling around in every direction had receded into a white-noise drone, and the only pedestrian passers-by were those brave enough to cross four lanes of cars at one time in pursuit of a short cut.
But all around, receding into a darkness that was never quite black, an indeterminate green fog; in every direction, the unknown; things lurking just beyond the threshold of vision, where sense became imagination.
