متن کاملEdge enhancement improves disruptive camouflage by emphasising false edges and creating pictorial relief
Disruptive colouration is a visual camouflage composed of false edges and boundaries. Many disruptively camouflaged animals feature enhanced edges; light patches are surrounded by a lighter outline and/or a dark patches are surrounded by a darker outline. This camouflage is particularly common in amphibians, reptiles and lepidopterans. We explored the role that this pattern has in creating effe...
متن کاملCosmetic camouflage.
Although many skin conditions are amenable to treatment, on certain occasions dermatology and plastic surgery have not much to offer and patients are left with disfigurements. Cosmetic camouflage is a therapy that has been developed to alleviate the suffering of those who have been disfigured by a congenital or an acquired lesion and who have no other choice than living with their deformity.
متن کاملCephalopod dynamic camouflage
Everyone knows what camouflage is and how it works. And many people (some scientists included) think chameleons are the masters of color change. Wrong on both counts. In this primer, I provide an overview of recent work on the mechanisms and principles of rapid adaptive camouflage of cephalopods — octopus, cuttlefish and squids. These strange but capable marine invertebrates can camouflage them...
متن کاملStrings as Solitons & Black Holes as Strings
Supersymmetric closed string theories contain an infinite tower of BPS-saturated, oscillating, macroscopic strings in the perturbative spectrum. When these theories have dual formulations, this tower of states must exist nonperturbatively as solitons in the dual theories. We present a general class of exact solutions of low-energy supergravity that corresponds to all these states. After dimensi...
