UV-curable coatings possess numerous advantages, including high production rate, low environmental impact, and customizability, making them highly appealing for a wide range of applications. However, one the greatest challenges in coating is achieving an optimal low-gloss surface by adding matting agents to formulation. Therefore, it essential find suitable agent type efficient roughness creati...

Starch is one of the cheapest raw materials which can be used in edible film formation. Due to the fact that it is a natural constituent, its incorporation as a food coating does not involve any health risks, although as a barrier material it has the disadvantage of having poor water vapour barrier properties. This could be improved if different non-polar components are included in the starch m...

A fundamental problem in image analysis is to understand the nature of the computations and mechanisms that provide information about the material properties of surfaces. Information about a surface's 3D shape, optics, illumination field, and atmospheric conditions are conflated in the image, which must somehow be disentangled to derive the properties of surfaces. It was recently suggested that...

one of the challenges of academic writing is the creation of a structurally and communicatively well-organized and coherent text. metadiscourse enables authors of journal articles to achieve this goal by raising the writers‘ awareness about discourse features which can contribute to a better academic content production. also, l1 background has always been a hot topic in applied linguistics and ...

While much attention has been given to understanding biases in gloss perception (e.g., changes perceived reflectance as a function of lighting, shape, viewpoint, and other factors), here we investigated sensitivity surface reflectance. We tested how visual differences specular varies the magnitude Stimuli consisted renderings glossy objects under natural illumination. Using maximum likelihood d...
