Spatial Analysis of “Crazy Quilts”, a Class of Potentially Random Aesthetic Artefacts
Human artefacts in general are highly structured and often display ordering principles such as translational, reflectional or rotational symmetry. In contrast, human artefacts that are intended to appear random and non symmetrical are very rare. Furthermore, many studies show that humans find it extremely difficult to recognize or reproduce truly random patterns or sequences. Here, we attempt t...
متن کاملHawaiian Flag Quilts: Multivalent Symbols of a Hawaiian Quilt Tradition
As RESEARCHERS HAVE amply demonstrated, quilts are a rich source of historical information. Quilt makers' beliefs, concerns, and emotions are often embodied in quilt motifs and names. Quilt making, bestowal, and use can reflect interpersonal ties and social conventions. Quilts can also convey economic circumstances, political convictions, and social commentary. In every aspect of their creation...
متن کاملGraphene quilts for thermal management of high-power GaN transistors.
Self-heating is a severe problem for high-power gallium nitride (GaN) electronic and optoelectronic devices. Various thermal management solutions, for example, flip-chip bonding or composite substrates, have been attempted. However, temperature rise due to dissipated heat still limits applications of the nitride-based technology. Here we show that thermal management of GaN transistors can be su...

متن کاملTexture Quilts: Basic Tools for Studying Motion-from-Texture
A theoretical foundation and concrete stimulus-construction methods are provided for studying motion-from-spatial-texture without contamination by motion mechanisms sensitive to other aspects of the signal. Specifically, examples are constructed of a special class of random stimuli called texture quilts. Although, as we demonstrate experimentally, certain texture quilts display consistent appar...
