Illusory contours are perceived in the absence of any real physical luminance gradients between inducers that are spatially discontinuous (Fig. 1a,b).1–3 It has been controversial whether the perception of these subjective contours arise from higher level cognitive mechanisms that depend on attention and serial search4–6 or from lower level parallel processing in the early automatic, preattenti...

Half-space depth (also called Tukey depth or location depth) is one of the most commonly studied data depth measures because it possesses many desirable properties for data depth functions. The data depth contours bound regions of increasing depth. For the sample case, there are two competing definitions of contours: the rank-based contours and the cover-based contours. In this paper, we presen...

In the framework of refined theory, which takes into account transverse shear deformation, solution problem on steady state vibrations orthotropic doubly curved panel with arbitrary number massive absolutely rigid inclusions configuration that penetrate through all its thickness taking harmonic in time distributed external load surface is constructed. Inclusions have different types connections...

Abstract Trust is a key part of any political system. Given the very different experiences Black people and White in United States, it likely that nature contours trust varies widely from one racial group to other. In this article, we take advantage specially commissioned 2018 survey compare American legislative institutions (Congress state legislatures). Thanks an oversample, also are able zer...

We continue our study of contour deformation as a practical tool for dealing with the sign problem using $d$-dimensional Bose gas non-zero chemical potential toy model. derive explicit expressions contours up to second order respect natural small parameter and generalise these an ansatz which evaluation Jacobian is fast ($O(1)$). examine behaviour various proposed function space-time dimensiona...

Surface reconstruction from contours is an important problem especially in medical applications. Other uses include reconstruction from topographic data, or isosurface generation in general. The drawback of existing reconstruction algorithms from contours is, that they are relatively complicated and often have numerical problems. Furthermore, algorithms to generate multiresolution surface model...

Prolonged inspection of uniformly moving contours affects differentially the luminance threshold for the detection of test contours as a function of the direction of motion of the test contours. This finding supports a new explanation of the well-known aftereffect.
