I review the definition and types of (closed) trapped surfaces. Surprising global properties are shown, such as their "clairvoyance" and the possibility that they enter into flat portions of the spacetime. Several results on the interplay of trapped surfaces with vector fields and with spatial hypersurfaces are presented.

An analysis of the trend of protected area size in Serbia in the period from 1948 to 2016 [PDF]
The process of establishing protected areas in Serbia has been influenced by specific social-economic changes in period after World War II, which have resulted in constant growth of protected area surface and changes in protected area type of ...

Visualizing Surfaces, Surfacing Vision: Introduction [PDF]
In this Introduction to a special section on ‘Visualizing Surfaces, Surfacing Vision’, the authors argue that to conceive vision in the contemporary world it is necessary to examine its embedding within, expression via and organization on the surface.

Surface to Surface Intersections [PDF]
AbstractThis paper presents an overview of surface intersection problems and focuses on the rational polynomial parametric/rational polynomial parametric surface intersection case including transversal and tangential intersections. Emphasis is placed on marching methods with a discussion of the problems with conventional tracing algorithms. An approach

Influence of the surface nanotopography on the electrical resistance of a discrete contact of solids [PDF]
An influence of micro- and nanoscale deviations of real surfaces of engineering devices from ideal form on the electrical resistance of a discrete contact of solids has been considered.

Exploring the corrosion inhibition capability of FAP-based ionic liquids on stainless steel [PDF]
Corrosion is clearly one of the more common causes of materials failure in stainless steel. To manage corrosion, chemical inhibitors are often used for prevention and control.
