Large conspicuous eyespots have evolved in multiple taxa and presumably function to thwart predator attacks. Traditionally, large eyespots were thought to discourage predator attacks because they mimicked eyes of the predators' own predators. However, this idea is controversial and the intimidating properties of eyespots have recently been suggested to simply be a consequence of their conspicuo...

The game and movie industries always face the challenge of reproducing materials. This problem is tackled by combining illumination models and various textures (painted or procedural patterns). Generating stochastic wall patterns is crucial in the creation of a wide range of backgrounds (castles, temples, ruins...). A specificWang tile set was introduced previously to tackle this problem, in a ...

background: in adults, throughout life, uniqueness maintains the equivalent; but, it might be tailored in the track of neurological disarrays. as in the partition of cognitive function associated with multiple sclerosis (ms), numerous studies have been performed, but there are very few reports in this area of behavior. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of personality types...

PURPOSE The modification of therapeutic dendritic cells (DC) with various immunostimulatory molecules represents a useful means for improving the antitumor efficacy of DC transfer-based immunotherapy. We have evaluated the feasibility of modifying therapeutic DCs with multiple immunostimulatory molecules using a time-efficient, protein transfer (or protein "painting")-based method. EXPERIMENT...

This paper considers the results of an examination painted pottery from prehistoric sites Prmor’ye region (Southern Russian Far East) in northwestern part Sea Japan basin. Red-painted and black-painted ceramic wares occur here only remains Yankovskaya archaeological culture dated to 1st mil. BCE. Red painting appears as a colored surface coating, black is represented by very simple drawn patter...

This contribution presents new strategies to inspect specular and painted surfaces. Structures on such surfaces are normally only visible, if patterns of the environment are reflected in them. Thus, conventional approaches only yield a little information gain from a single measurement. In our approach, different intensity patterns are systematically generated in the environment of the surface s...
