This paper reviews the literature on texture segregation and texture transparency, and proposes a new account of texture transparency based on the theory of texture segregation. To date, it has been suggested that the perception of transparency might stem from perceptual grouping or spacing effects between texture elements. Based on recent data, this paper argues that texture transparency shoul...

This paper presents an effective approach to generate a set of small textures from an input texture that can be tiled together to synthesize large textures. Such a small set can be useful in texturing any large area realistically and efficiently while consuming only a small amount of texture memory. Our approach is advantageous in its ability to generate a smaller number of tiles that can embed...

the evolution of texture was discussed during the formation of ultra-fine and nano grains in a magnesium alloy severely deformed through accumulative back extrusion (abe). the microstructure and texture obtained after applying multiple deformation passes at temperatures of 100 and 250°c were characterized. the results showed that after single abe pass at 100°c an ultrafine/nano grained microstr...

Abstract The slab–mantle interface in subduction zones is one of the geological boundaries with most significant chemical potential gradients, which leads to fluid-mediated metasomatic reactions and transport. As subducting sediment basaltic crust often contain silica various forms, Si-metasomatism mantle rocks thought occur along zone interface. However, growing evidence from geochemistry alte...

We have found corundum in direct contact with quartz and biotite as inclusions garnet the pelitic gneisses of northern Austkampane Northeastern (NE) Terrane Sør Rondane Mountains (SRM), East Antarctica. Our samples, which include corundum–bearing gneisses, show petrographic features such staurolite garnet, compositional zoning orthoamphibole Al decreasing toward rims, late–stage cordierite form...

This paper first reports the counter-clockwise pressure-temperature (P–T) path for Lützow–Holm Complex in East Antarctica. The metamorphic textures of kyanite-bearing pelitic gneisses from Tenmondai Rock including earlier spinel and ilmenite inclusions, geothermobarometric data, pseudosection modeling indicate that pressure increases prior to peak conditions at around 9 ± 0.5 kbar 770–820 °C, f...
