This dissertation investigated the importance of information from various sensory receptors on the perception of self-orientation. In five experiments, we systematically manipulated the relative orientation between the gravitational inertial forces and the

The orientation of fluorescent molecules on the surface of an aerosol particle has been determined by using a new technique, morphology-dependent photoselection. The excitation spectrum of the angularly averaged fluorescence from a single levitated particle is measured by using an integrating sphere levitator. By utilizing the relative intensities of resonant peaks in this spectrum and knowledg...

We present a study of the relative orientation between magnetic field and elongated cloud structures for $\rho$ Oph A E regions in L1688 Ophiuchus molecular cloud. Combining inferred from HAWC+ 154 $\mu$m observations polarized thermal emission with column density maps created using Herschel submillimeter observations, we find consistent perpendicular alignment at scales $0.02$ pc ($33.6"$ $d \...
