Howard and Duke [Howard, I. P. & Duke, P. A. (2003). Monocular transparency generates quantitative depth. Vision Research, 43, 2615-2621] recently proposed a new source of binocular information they claim is used to recover depth in stereoscopic displays. They argued that these displays lack conventional disparity and that the metrical depth experienced results from transparency rather than occ...

The biological visual system possesses the ability to compute layered surface representations, in which one surface is represented as being viewed through another. This ability is remarkable because, in scenes involving transparency, the link between surface topology and image topology is greatly complicated by the collapse of the photometric contributions of two distinct surfaces onto image in...

Corruption is one of the main challenges in governments. According to many international reports, corruption in developing countries is more than developed countries. On the other hand, one of the advantages of e-government is accountability and transparency. Therefore e-government can be introduced as a solution to reduce corruption in government activities. This paper studied the effect of e-...

The development of optically transparent and mechanically flexible electronic circuitry is an essential step in the effort to develop next-generation display technologies, including 'see-through' and conformable products. Nanowire transistors (NWTs) are of particular interest for future display devices because of their high carrier mobilities compared with bulk or thin-film transistors made fro...

Context-aware applications require context information to adapt their behaviour to the current situation. When developing context-aware applications, application developers need to transform specific application context requirements into application logic to discover, select and bind to suitable sources of context information. To facilitate the development of context-aware applications, we prop...
