Gender differences in homicides. A comparative analysis of 106 fatalities in forensic autopsy data.

While most homicides worldwide are committed against men, women and girls are disproportionately affected by domestic violence and its fatal consequences. The Istanbul Convention mandates the prevention of gender-based violence, particularly against women. This study analyzes the characteristics of male and female victims of homicides to provide a comprehensive understanding of the different situations and ways in which men and women are killed.

The Verriest Lecture: Visual properties of metameric blacks beyond cone vision.

The generic framework of metamerism implies that the number of sensors is smaller than the dimension of the stimulus. The metameric black paradigm was introduced by Wyszecki [Farbe2, 39 (1953)] and developed by Cohen and Kappauf [Am. J.

Domain of metamers exciting intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and rods.

Any stimulus can be described as composed of two components-a fundamental color stimulus that controls the three cone responses and a metameric black that has no effect on cones but can drive photoreceptors other than cones [e.g., rods and melanopsin expressing retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs)].

Structural and view-specific representations for the categorization of three-dimensional objects.

It has been debated whether object recognition depends on structural or view-specific representations. This issue is revisited here using a paradigm of priming, supervised category learning, and generalization to novel viewpoints. Results show that structural representations can be learned for three-dimensional (3D) objects lacking generalized-cone components (geons).
