Effects of Shape, Roughness and Gloss on the Perceived Reflectance of Colored Surfaces
This study examined perceptual differentiation of specular from diffuse shading for the recovery of surface color and gloss. In Experiment 1, we parametrically varied the mesoscale relief height of globally planar surfaces, specular sharpness and the ...

The role of crosslinking density in surface stress and surface energy of soft solids [PDF]
Surface stress and surface energy are two fundamental parameters that determine the surface properties of any materials. While it is commonly believed that the surface stress and surface energy of liquids are identical, the relationship between the two parameters in soft polymeric gels remains debatable. In this work, we measured the surface stress and

Surface properties and the perception of color
We examined whether perception of color saturation and lightness depends on the three-dimensional (3D) shape and surface gloss of surfaces rendered to have different hues. In Experiment 1, we parametrically varied specular roughness of predominantly planar surfaces with different mesoscopic relief heights.

On the use of capsaicin as a natural preservative against fungal attack on Pinus sp. and Hymenaea sp. woods [PDF]
Capsaicin (capsicum oleoresin) extracted from two peeper species, Capsicum frutescens and Capsicum baccatum, was investigated as a natural preservative against fungal (Paecilomyces variotti) attack on Pinus sp. and Hymenaea sp.

A study on the Low Stress Mechanical properties of spun silk sarees woven on Handloom
The silk handloom industry consumes two-thirds of the raw silk produced domestically in India. It was envisaged to develop a handloom silk saree using spun silk as warp and or weft and study the fabric characteristics in terms of low-stress mechanical ...

Surface Properties of Vitreous Fibers
The surface properties of various vitreous fibers, suspected to be toxic to humans and animals, were investigated by means of paramagnetic labels covalently linked to the surface. Computer-aided analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra provided structural and dynamic information on the label and its environment.

Everything is illuminated [PDF]
We study geometrical properties of translation surfaces: the finite blocking property, bounded blocking property, and illumination properties. These are elementary properties which can be fruitfully studied using the dynamical behavior of the SL(2,R)-action on the moduli space of translation surfaces.
