In six experiments we demonstrate that the vertical-horizontal illusion that is evoked when viewing photographs and line drawings is relatively small, whereas the magnitude of this illusion when large objects are viewed is at least twice as great. Furthermore, we show that the illusion is due more to vertical overestimation than horizontal underestimation. The lack of a difference in vertical o...

Two contradictory phase diagrams have dominated the literature of high-Tc cuprate superconductors. Does pseudogap line cross superconducting Tc-dome or not? To answer, we revisited experimental magnetic susceptibility and knight shift four different compounds, La1−xSrxCuO4, Bi2Sr2Ca1−xYxCu2O8, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y, YBa2Cu3O6+y, as a function temperature doping. The can be described by same for all m...

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to line drawing that attempts to maintain a uniform packing density of horizontal segments to diagonal segments throughout the line. While the conventional line drawing algorithms perform linear time computations to find the location of the pixels, our algorithm takes logarithmic time. Also, experimental results show that the quality of line is accepta...

The universal phylogenetic tree not only spans all extant life, but its root and earliest branchings represent stages in the evolutionary process before modern cell types had come into being. The evolution of the cell is an interplay between vertically derived and horizontally acquired variation. Primitive cellular entities were necessarily simpler and more modular in design than are modern cel...

The "Persuasion Game" was originally configured to analyze a firm’s choice of how much vertical product information it would wish to reveal. The equilibrium "unravels" so that a firm wants to reveal its true quality. We extend the persuasion game to bring it squarely into the economics of advertising by first formulating it in the context of first exciting consumer interest into learning more a...

An oblique line translating vertically behind a horizontal rectangular aperture is perceived as moving in the horizontal direction, i.e., in the line-ending’s direction. When a feature is added on the line, and thus provides a vertical unambiguous motion signal, the line’s perceived direction is still horizontal. In parallel, the feature appears to slide obliquely along the line (Wallach, 1935)...
