Holistic coding for faces is shown in several illusions that demonstrate integration of the percept across the entire face. The illusions occur upright but, crucially, not inverted. Converting the illusions into experimental tasks that measure their strength - and thus index degree of holistic coding - is often considered straightforward yet in fact relies on a hidden assumption, namely that th...

The perception of socially relevant stimuli (e.g., faces and bodies) has received considerable attention in the vision science community. It is now widely accepted that human faces are processed holistically and not only analytically. One observation that has been taken as evidence for holistic face processing is the face composite effect: two identical top halves of a face tend to be perceived...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H3BrN2, consists of two mol-ecules. The crystal structure features undulating mol-ecular sheets with the mol-ecules linked by C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds with one N atom acting as a bifurcated acceptor. N⋯Br inter-actions also occur [N⋯Br = 2.991 (3) and 3.099 (3) Å]. Inter-layer association is accomplished by offset face-to-face arene inter-actions [centro...

In this study a new method by Application of graphene oxide Nano sheets– Melamine –TioOxalic acid composite was exhibited as adsorbent for the elimination of toxic mercury (II) ions from aqueous solutions. The combine has the authority to adsorb the organic and inorganic combines. Through the immobilization of Melamine-TioOxalic acid (MTO) onto graphene oxide nanosheets, the desired composite w...

To progress from laboratory research to commercial applications, it is necessary to develop an effective method to prepare large quantities and high-quality of the large-size atomically thin molybdenum dichalcogenides (MoS2). Aqueous-phase processes provide a viable method for producing thin MoS2 sheets using organolithium-assisted exfoliation; unfortunately, this method is hindered by changing...

The role of self-relevance has been somewhat neglected in static face processing paradigms but may be important in understanding how emotional faces impact on attention, cognition and affect. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of self-relevant primes on processing emotional composite faces. Sentence primes created an expectation of the emotion of the face before sad, hap...

We have used fluorescence energy transfer in the rapid-diffusion limit (RDL) to estimate the trans-membrane depth of retinal in the purple membrane (PM). Chelates of Tb(III) are excellent energy donors for the retinal chromophore of PM, having a maximum Ro value for Förster energy transfer of approximately 62 A (assuming a donor quantum yield of 1). Energy transfer rates were measured from the ...

In this paper, the effect of different boundary conditions on the free vibration analysis response of a sandwich plate is presented using the higher order shear deformation theory. The face sheets are orthotropic laminated composites that follow the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) based on the Rissners-Mindlin (RM) kinematics field. The motion equations are derived considering the c...

Image posterization is converting images with a large number of tones into synthetic images with distinct flat areas and a fewer number of tones. In this technical report, we present the implementation and results of using fuzzy logic in order to generate a posterized image in a simple and fast way. The image filter is based on fuzzy logic and bilateral filtering; where, the given image is blur...
