A novel two-sided Bitter decoration technique was recently employed by Yao et al. to study the structure of the magnetic vortex array in high-temperature superconductors. Here we discuss the analysis of such experiments. We show that two-sided decorations can be used to infer quantitative information about the bulk properties of flux arrays, and discuss how a least squares analysis of the local...

Bonded brickwork walls of large thickness constructed with double or triple bricks are common in loadbearing historical masonry structures many regions which require interventions and compression capacity evaluation. However, current design provisions for prediction primarily based on single brick prisms wallette specimens. Due to anisotropic nature masonry, the strength deformation characteris...

Malaysia is known for having a variety of cultural values. The usage "pelamin" decorations well-known in Malay weddings Malaysia. roots design and layout are examined the context culture visual art this study. point that concept originated from royal throne, o which has been embraced to depict "raja sehari" (bridegroom) during wedding ceremonies. In Malaysia, consequence exchange also factor pr...

We introduce the colored version of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity which is two-dimensional dilaton model with matrix-valued fields. It straightforwardly formulated in terms BF action $su(N,N)$ gauge algebra so that standard JT embedded as $su(1,1) \subset su(N,N)$ subsector. also elaborate on respective metric formulation shown to involve fields plus $su(N)$ non-Abelian well $su(N)$-matrix val...

Masquerading comes at various costs and benefits. The principal benefit being the avoidance of predators. The orb-web spider Cyclosa ginnaga has a silver body and adds a white discoid-shaped silk decoration to its web. The size, shape and colour of C. ginnaga's body resemble, when viewed by the human eye against its decoration, a bird dropping. We therefore hypothesized that their body colourat...
