When and where object recognition fails in the human brain: an electrophysiological study of visual crowding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

Flankers can strongly deteriorate performance on a visual target (crowding). For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly affected by neighboring flankers. Interestingly, performance for longer and shorter flankers is better than performance for ...

Charge ordering transition in GdBaCo2O5: Evidence of reentrant behavior

Philip Pattison

We present a detailed study on the charge ordering transition in a GdBaCo2O5.0 system by combining highresolution synchrotron powder/single-crystal diffraction with electron paramagnetic resonance experiments as a function of temperature. We found a second ...

Selection rules for helicity amplitudes in massive gauge theories

Paolo Lodone

After a rediscussion of the vanishing theorems for helicity amplitudes in unbroken gauge theories, we study the case of spontaneously broken gauge theories at high energy. The vanishing theorems generalize to a definite pattern of m/E suppression of the am ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment to slight damage based on experimental modal parameters

Clotaire Michel

The aim of this paper is to adjust behaviour models for each class of structure for vulnerability assessment by using ambient vibration. A simple model based on frequencies, mode shapes and damping, taken from ambient vibrations, allows computation of the ...

The N1 wave amplitude reflects perceptual grouping and correlates with crowding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Vitaly Chicherov

In crowding, flanking elements strongly deteriorate performance. For example, vernier offset discrimination is strongly affected by neighboring flankers. Performance is worst when the flankers have the same length as the vernier. Surprisingly, performance ...

Size effects in indentation of hydrated biological tissues

Matteo Galli

Fluid flow in biological tissues is important in both mechanical and biological contexts. Given the hierarchical nature of tissues, there are varying length scales at which time-dependent mechanical behavior due to fluid flow may be exhibited. Here, spheri ...

Molecule-Dependent Plasmonic Enhancement of Fluorescence and Raman Scattering near Realistic Nanostructures

Olivier Martin, Andreas Kern

The enhancement of fluorescence and Raman scattering by plasmonic nanostructures is studied theoretically with special focus on the effects of the observed molecule's properties and the realistic geometry of the plasmonic nanostructure. Numerical experimen ...

Slow slip events in Guerrero, Mexico, and consequences on strain accumulation over the past 15 years (invited).

Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie

Continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) time series in Guerrero, Mexico, reveal the widespread existence of large Slow Slip Events (SSEs) at the boundary between the Cocos and North American plates. The existence of these SSEs asks the question of how ...
