Colour constancy needs to be reconsidered in light of the limits imposed by metamer mismatching. Metamer mismatching refers to the fact that two objects reflecting metameric light under one illumination may reflect non-metameric light under a second; so two objects appearing as having the same colour under one illuminant can appear as having different colours under a second. Yet since Helmholtz...

The power spectrum S of linear transects of the earth's topography is often observed to be a power-law function of wave number k with exponent close to ?2: S(k) / k ?2. In addition, river networks are fractal trees that satisfy several power-law relationships between their morphologic components. A model equation for the evolution of the earth's topography by erosional processes which produces ...

OVERVIEW: In the rapid evolution of VLSI technology toward smaller geometries and increased levels of chip integration, minimum features of 0.18 μm are already being mass produced, and feature sizes of 0.13 μm are being developed. At the same time, 300-mm fab lines are being built, and this is driving a demand for new etching technologies that support smaller tolerances and larger wafer sizes. ...

The H3 in the interstellar medium is a unique probe of physical and chemical environments in dense and diffuse clouds. As the observational study in many lines of sight is becoming matured, we have as many problems newly found. The overabundance of H3 in diffuse clouds is one of them [3, 4]. We undertook the absorption line survey of H3 toward the Galactic center sources to shed light on it [1]...
