Visual distortion of body size modulates pain perception [PDF]

, 2011
Pain is a complex subjective experience, that can be shaped by several cognitive, psychological and even contextual variables. For example, simply viewing the body reduces the reported intensity of acute physical pain.

On the Distortion of Time: An Unexplored Ego Defense Mechanism

International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science, 2023
"On the Distortion of Time: An Unexplored Ego Defense Mechanism" by Alexander G. Fowler, written in October 2023, dives deep into the human psyche's defense mechanisms, building upon Freudian psychoanalytic theory. Central to this paper is the notion that altering time perception is a legitimate defense mechanism of the ego.

Distortion Optimized Packet Scheduling and Prioritization of Multiple Video Streams over 802.11e Networks

Advances in Multimedia, 2007
This paper presents a generic framework solution for minimizing video distortion of all multiple video streams transmitted over 802.11e wireless networks, including intelligent packet scheduling and channel access differentiation mechanisms. A distortion

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions: challenging existing theory [PDF]

, 2010
Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE or DP) are generated using two primary tones at frequencies f1 and f2 at levels L1 and L2; the two most prominent DP are cubic distortion products at the frequencies 2f1f2 and 2f2f1.

Continuous defects: dislocations and disclinations in finite elasto-plasticity with initial dislocations heterogeneities [PDF]

INCAS Bulletin, 2015
Within the constitutive framework of second order plasticity, following [4,5], under the assumptions that the plastic distortion is not compatible, and the plastic connection is not compatible with the plastic distortion and has metric property, we ...

Harmonic and Supraharmonic Emissions of Plug-In Electric Vehicle Chargers

Smart Cities, 2022
Electric vehicle (EV) charging represents a relevant electric load with a rapid evolution in terms of number, power rating and distortion, in particular, considering the connection to the low-voltage public grid: available short-circuit power may be ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Understanding and designing post-build rolling for mitigation of residual stress and distortion in wire arc additively manufactured components

Materials & Design, 2022
Post-build rolling can mitigate residual stress (RS) and distortion in large-scale components built by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). In this study, based on numerical simulations that considered both WAAM deposition and vertical rolling, the ...
