In the current globalization trend, digital transformation is an indispensable requirement that affects all aspects of life. Within education domain, it creates opportunities for tertiary institutions to replace traditional methods teaching, learning, research, and operation with more innovative, creative, cost-effective methods. This article aims examine recent technological advancements promo...

The color perceived to belong to the illumination of objects is often based on cues from the scene within which the objects are perceived, instead of being based on any view of the source itself. We present measurements of illuminant color estimation by human observers for moving, spectrally filtered spotlights. The results show that when only one illuminant is in the field of view, estimates o...

“Highlights” calls attention to exciting advances in developmental biology that have recently been reported in Developmental Dynamics. Development is a broad field encompassing many important areas. To reflect this fact, the section spotlights significant discoveries that occur across the entire spectrum of developmental events and problems: from new experimental approaches, to novel interpreta...

We report the first state-independent experimental test of quantum contextuality on a single photonic qutrit (three-dimensional system), based on a recent theoretical proposal [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 030402 (2012)]. Our experiment spotlights quantum contextuality in its most basic form, in a way that is independent of either the state or the tensor product structure of the system.

The phenomenon of visual attention has long fascinated scientists interested in higher functions of the brain. Introspection suggests that attention exerts a powerful influence on the flow of visual information within our brains: everyone is familiar with the experience of attending so intently to a particular object in the visual world that he/she is oblivious to other salient stimuli present ...

To the Editor: Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 1 It should come as no surprise that researchers are currently looking for measures of arterial stiffness that are easy to record even under ambulatory conditions. In this Journal, Gosse and colleagues 2 recently compared three indexes, derived from individual ambulatory blood pressure (BP) ...

Parameterised model checking is concerned with verifying properties of arbitrary numbers of homogeneous processes composed in parallel. The problem is known to be undecidable in general. Nevertheless, a number of approaches have developed verification techniques for certain classes of parameterised systems. Here, we present an approach combining symmetry arguments with spotlight abstractions. T...
