Probing Disk Ice Content and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission through Multiband MagAO+Clio Images of HD 141569

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present resolved images of the inner disk component around HD 141569A using the Magellan adaptive optics system with the Clio2 1–5 μ m camera, offering a glimpse of a complex system thought to be in a short evolutionary phase between protoplanetary ...

Development of visual performance based mesopic photometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This work started by investigating the applicability of the photopic V(λ) function to predict visual task performance at mesopic light levels. Visual acuity and pedestrian visibility experiments were carried out in varied lighting and viewing conditions.

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Measurement of the point-spread function of a noisy imaging system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The averaged point-spread function (PSF) estimation of an image acquisition system is important for many computer vision applications, including edge detection and depth from defocus. The paper compares several mathematical models of the PSF and presents

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 600-634, June 2026.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...
