Perceptual grouping leads to objecthood effects in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

The Ebbinghaus illusion is argued to be a product of low-level contour interactions or a higher cognitive comparison process. We examined the effect of grouping on the illusion by manipulating objecthood, i.e., the degree to which an object is a cohesive p ...

Molecular motor crossing the frontier of classical to quantum tunneling motion

Harald Brune, Samuel Thomas Stolz

The reliability by which molecular motor proteins convert undirected energy input into directed motion or transport has inspired the design of innumerable artificial molecular motors. We have realized and investigated an artificial molecular motor applying ...

Realizability of planar point embeddings from angle measurements

Majed El Helou, Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen

Localization of a set of nodes is an important and a thoroughly researched problem in robotics and sensor networks. This paper is concerned with the theory of localization from inner-angle measurements. We focus on the challenging case where no anchor loca ...

Geometric Optimization of a Reciprocal Floor-Framing System with Self-Weight and Area-Loading Considerations

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper explores the geometric optimization of a planar reciprocal frame (RF) floor framing structure, focusing on the triangular topology. The structural performance of the frames is computed and plotted against the geometric parameters for various loa ...

The Bayesian reconstruction of the in-medium heavy quark potential from lattice QCD and its stability

Yannis Burnier

We report recent results of a non-perturbative determination of the static heavy-quark potential in quenched and dynamical lattice QCD at finite temperature. The real and imaginary part of this complex quantity are extracted from the spectral function of W ...

Analysis and computation of the elastic wave equation with random coefficients

Fabio Nobile

We analyze the stochastic initial-boundary value problem for the elastic wave equation with random coefficients and deterministic data. We propose a stochastic collocation method for computing statistical moments of the solution or statistics of some given ...

Demonstration of a 5x5 cm(2) self-tracking solar concentrator

Eric Tremblay, Volker Günter Zagolla

Solar concentration is using optics in order to minimize the amount of expensive photovoltaic cell material needed. For concentration factors higher than approximately 4, tracking the sun's position is needed to keep the focal spot on the solar cell. Based ...

Origin and nature of measurement bias in catadioptric parallel goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We briefly categorize and compare parallel goniophotometers, which are instruments capable of simultaneously measuring the far-field distribution of light scattered by a surface or emitted by a source over a large solid angle. Little is known about the acc ...

Proof of principle demonstration of a self-tracking concentrator

Christophe Moser, Volker Günter Zagolla, Eric Tremblay

We present to the best of our knowledge the first successful demonstration of a planar, self-tracking solar concentrator system capable of a 2-dimensional angular acceptance of over 40 degrees. The light responsive mechanism allows for efficient waveguide ...

Revisiting parallel catadioptric goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

A thorough knowledge of the angular distribution of light scattered by an illuminated surface under different angles is essential in numerous industrial and research applications. Traditionally, the angular distribution of a reflected or transmitted light ...

Oblique incidence design of meander-line polarizers for dielectric lens antennas

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-François Zürcher, Benjamin Fuchs, Benjamin Fuchs, Marco Letizia

A method to design planar multilayer meander-line polarizers is given. The proposed procedure is based on transmission line circuit theory and on full-wave unit cell analysis in frequency domain. The hybrid combination of those two techniques paves the way ...

The timing of temporoparietal and frontal activations during mental own body transformations from different visuospatial perspectives

Olaf Blanke

The perspective from where the world is perceived is an important aspect of the bodily self and may break down in neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences (OBEs). These striking disturbances are characterized by disembodiment, an external pe ...

A method to determine the onset voltage of single and arrays of electrospray emitters

Herbert Shea

This paper reports on an accurate and rapid method to compute the onset voltage for a single or for an array of electrospray emitters with complex geometries and on the correlation of the simulation with experimental data. This method permits the exact det ...

Orion MinAngle: A flexure-based, double-tilting parallel kinematics for ultra-high precision applications requiring high angles of rotation

Reymond Clavel

If you need to design ultra-high precision devices for mechanisms with multiple axes there are not a lot of ways leading around flexure-based joints. Using this type of articulations totally eliminates backlash and friction and is, by this, providing an ac ...
