Tattoo: a multifaceted medium of communication
MedieKultur: Journal of Media and Communication Research, 2010 This article suggests the systems theoretical distinction of form/medium as a useful tool for distinguishing social phenomena that might look as if they stem from the same process. This is shown to be the case for the tattoo and tattooing.

Microlens Parallax Asymmetries Toward the LMC [PDF]
, 1998 If the microlensing events now being detected toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are due to lenses in the Milky Way halo, then the events should typically have asymmetries of order 1% due to parallax from the reflex motion of the Earth. By contrast,

The parallax distorsion via a weak microlensing effect [PDF]
, 2000 Parallax measurements allow distances to celestial objects to be determined. Coupled with measurement of their position on the celestial sphere, it gives a full three-dimensional picture of the location of the objects relative to the observer.

Parallax Inference for Robust Temporal Monocular Depth Estimation in Unstructured Environments
Sensors, 2022 Estimating the distance to objects is crucial for autonomous vehicles, but cost, weight or power constraints sometimes prevent the use of dedicated depth sensors.

Off line Parallax Correction for Neutral Particle Gas Detectors [PDF]
, 2006 In a neutral particle gas detector, the parallax error resulting from the perpendicular projection on the detection plane or wire of the radial particle trajectories emanating from a point like source (such as a scattering sample) can significantly spoil

Nature, 1871 Is there nobody who will perform an act of justice, and ask those who seem to have never known or to have forgotten my doings, to be kind enough not to deprive me of my just claims? When, A.D. 1857, my old method of determining the sun's parallax was again publicly proposed, I thought it somewhat strange, and wondered what could be the reason that it ...

MISR-GOES 3D Winds: Implications for Future LEO-GEO and LEO-LEO Winds
Remote Sensing, 2018 Global wind observations are fundamental for studying weather and climate dynamics and for operational forecasting. Most wind measurements come from atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) by tracking the displacement of cloud or water vapor features.

Microlensing Parallax for Observers in Heliocentric Motion [PDF]
, 2016 Motivated by the ongoing Spitzer observational campaign, and the forecoming K2 one, we revisit, working in an heliocentric reference frame, the geometrical foundation for the analysis of the microlensing parallax, as measured with the simultaneous ...
