When we view an object, its appearance depends in large part on specific surface reflectance properties; among these is surface gloss, which provides important information about the material composition of the object and the fine structure of its surface. To study how gloss is represented in the visual cortical areas related to object recognition, we examined the responses of neurons in the inf...

This study evaluated the effects of polishing on surface roughness, gloss, and color of regular, opaque, and enamel shades for each of three resin composites. Two-mm-thick resin disks made with Estelite Σ Quick, Clearfil Majesty, and Beautifil II were final polished with 180-, 1000-, and 3000-grit silicon carbide paper. Surface roughness, gloss, and color were measured one week after curing. Es...

This paper reconsiders the task of MRDbased word sense disambiguation, in extending the basic Lesk algorithm to investigate the impact onWSD performance of different tokenisation schemes, scoring mechanisms, methods of gloss extension and filtering methods. In experimentation over the Lexeed Sensebank and the Japanese Senseval2 dictionary task, we demonstrate that character bigrams with sense-s...

Opadry® II 1 Influence of Film Coating Process Parameters on the Gloss of Tablets Coated with Pigmented Aqueous Film Coating Formulations PURPOSE A common practice for enhancing the gloss of coated tablets is the application of a clear top-coat after applying a pigmented coating layer. In a recent study, substantial increases in tablet gloss were achieved using this multiple step approach.1 It ...
