✦ Synopsis

Parallel processing is often considered to be synonymous with biological computation, but a great deal of evidence points to serial computation being used by animals to solve specific types of problems. In particular, the observation of movement intermittency (fluctuations in limb kinematic variables that cannot be explained by low-level dynamics of the system) seems to imply a serial temporal segmentation strategy in the planning of arm movements. This paper discusses prior observations of movement intermittency in different task contexts, possible theoretical and physiological origins of the phenomenon, and implications for human movement strategies.

1. We studied the latencies and amplitudes of saccades to moving targets in normal human subjects. Targets underwent ramp or step-ramp motions. The goal was to determine how the saccadic system uses information about target velocity. 2. For simple ramp motion saccadic latency decreased as target spe

This paper reports the results of a simulation study that determines the effects of rejects on in-process inventory levels. The production line is made up of several stations or stages organised in series, and rejects can occur at any stage along the line. The long-term average reject proportion at
