Novel visual perceptual phenomenon in isoluminant bi-coloured square-wave gratings by Tan, Azaac Wei En

“…We document the physical characteristics of the stimuli that affect the strength of the illusion and the illusory colours perceived, and consider potential mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. In line with our hypotheses, the results reveal that the strength of the illusion varies with the spatial frequency of the grating, and that the illusory percept is motion-dependent. …”

Rethinking the role that the “step” in the load–displacement curves can play in measurement of fracture toughness for hard coatings by Zhang, Xiaomin, Zhang, Sam

“…This paper scrutinizes the “step” and finds that the “step” is a gap artificially bridged up with a straight line and that the “step” size corresponds with the thickness of the coating in testing. …”

Masdar City: ‘City of Possibilities’ by Griffiths, S

“…Partly due to the global financial crisis of 2008 and partly due to experience gained from continued assessments of the original concept, Masdar has scaled back the initial ambitions for the city’s carbon and waste targets, as well as the development approach and time-line for the entire city. This, however, may ultimately prove to be the best outcome for Masdar City if it is truly to become a model for sustainable cities of the future.…”

Recognising rotationally symmetric surfaces from their outlines by Forsyth, DA, Mundy, JL, Zisserman, A, Rothwell, CA

“…The results additionally yield techniques for identifying the line in the image plane corresponding to the axis of a rotationally symmetric surface, and for telling whether a surface is rotationally symmetric or not from its outline alone.…”

Swift: poetical repurposer by Cox, O

“…He did so ironically, however, by lifting a line from John Denham's On Mr Abraham Cowley and putting it into the mouth of a hypothetical, ignorant critic elegizing “Swift”: Denham's “what he wrote was all his own” becomes Swift's “what he writ was all his own” (1–2). …”
