Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.

Make like a glass frog: In support of increased transparency in herpetology
Across many scientific disciplines, direct replication efforts and meta-analyses have fuelled concerns on the replicability of findings. Ecology and evolution are similarly affected. Investigations into the causes of this lack of replicability have implicated a suite of research practices linked to incentives in the current publishing system.

When the going gets rough – studying the effect of surface roughness on the adhesive abilities of tree frogs [PDF]
Tree frogs need to adhere to surfaces of various roughnesses in their natural habitats; these include bark, leaves and rocks. Rough surfaces can alter the effectiveness of their toe pads, due to factors such as a change of real contact area and abrasion

Ultrafast-pulse diagnostic using third-order frequency-resolved optical gating in organic films [PDF]
We report on the diagnostic of ultrafast pulses by frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) based on strong third-harmonic generation (THG) in amorphous organic thin films. The high THG conversion efficiency of these films allows for the characterization

Ultrashort Pulse Retrieval from Experimental Spectra Transformed in Chalcogenide and Silica Fibers
The characterization of ultrashort optical pulses is a highly requested task. The most popular commercially available hardware/software systems are based on interferometric measurements and second-harmonic generation, leading to some ambiguities and ...
