Smalley (1965) demonstrated that the adult firefly lantern can be classified as adrenergic with respect to a number of criteria established for vertebrate sympathetic junctions. The lantern luminesces in response to adrenaline and its analogues. Amphetamine acts indirectly to induce luminescence and fails in denervated lanterns. Reserpinized lanterns respond to adrenaline, but no longer to neur...

Lantern Field is a communal, site-specific installation that takes shape as a spatially responsive audio-visual field. The public participates in the creation of the installation, resulting in shared ownership of the work between both the artists and participants. Furthermore, the installation takes new shape in each realization, both to incorporate the constraints and affordances of each speci...

A magic square is an n × n array of distinct positive integers whose sum along any row, column, or main diagonal is the same number. We compute the number of such squares for n = 4, as a function of either the magic sum or an upper bound on the entries. The previous record for both functions was the n = 3 case. Our methods are based on inside-out polytopes, i.e., the combination of hyperplane a...

The "photonic lantern," an optical fibre device that has emerged from the field of astrophotonics, allows for a single-mode photonic function to take place within a multimode fibre. We study and evaluate the modal behaviour of photonic lanterns as well as the conditions for achieving low-loss between a multimode fibre and a "near-diffraction limited" single-mode system. We also present an intui...

To Barbara, my sweet nightingale, whose existence is my lantern in the night. If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out.

In this study, the lithological characteristics of Four Lion Three-story Stone Pagoda and Lantern in Hwaeomsa temple were analyzed, origin was interpreted. The stone properties composing pagoda lantern are dark gray medium to coarse grained granodiorite with small large mafic microgranular enclaves (MME), show a fairly heterogeneous lithology. constituting main cultural heritages precincts use ...
