Observers were presented with various types of stimulus expansion and contraction which resulted in marked misperceptions of size. Firstly, the perceived size of an object which is changing in size is shown to be biased in the direction of the size change. Secondly, expansion or contraction of the internal texture of objects is found to influence their perceived size. Finally, an illusory textu...

The mathematical modeling of the activation energy and binary chemical reaction system with six distinct types nanoparticles, along magnetohydrodynamic effect, is studied in this paper. Different hybrid nanofluids flowing over porous surfaces heat mass transfer aspects are examined here. empirical relations for nanoparticle materials associated thermophysical properties expressed as partial dif...

This paper looks into the many-sided debate on definition and thus delimitation of translation, extending over a generalized conception translation as interlingual meaning transfer, linguistically-centered expansion modal orientation well semiotic reform translation. It is contended that many ‘expansionist’ attempts at redefining albeit bringing about refreshing departure from rigid, traditiona...

This overview assesses some distinguishing features of the cetacean (whale, dolphin, porpoise) air sac system that may relate to the anatomy and function of the paranasal sinuses in terrestrial mammals. The cetacean respiratory tract has been modified through evolution to accommodate living in water. Lack of paranasal sinuses in modern cetaceans may be a diving adaptation. Bone-enclosed air cha...
