Inhomogeneous surrounds can produce either asymmetrical or symmetrical increment/decrement induction by orienting T-junctions to selectively group a test patch with surrounding regions [Melfi, T., & Schirillo, J. (2000). T-junctions in inhomogeneous surrounds. Vision Research, 40, 3735-3741]. The current experiments aimed to determine where T-junctions are processed by presenting each eye with a different image so that T-junctions exist only in the fused percept. Only minor differences were found between retinal and cortical versus cortical-only conditions, indicating that T-junctions are processed cortically.

The presence of island grains in the initial finished sheets of grain-oriented electrical steel is inevitable in the preparation of ultra-thin strips. Owing to their distinctive shape and size effects, their deformation behavior during rolling differs from that of grain-oriented electrical steels of conventional thickness. This study focuses on the orientation evolution and deformation heterogeneity of island grains during rolling.

Active enzymes during catalyzing chemical reactions, have been found to generate significant mechanical fluctuations, which can influence the dynamics of their surroundings. These phenomena open new avenues for controlling mass transport in complex and dynamically inhomogeneous environments through localized chemical reactions. To explore this potential, we studied the uptake of transferrin molecules in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Significant debate surrounds the origin of nonlinear optical responses from cavity-coupled molecular vibrations. Several groups, including our own, have previously assigned portions of the nonlinear response to polariton excited-state transitions. Here, we report a new method to approximate two-dimensional infrared spectra under vibrational strong coupling, which properly accounts for inhomogeneous broadening.

Article Synopsis
- Active matter structures modify their environment by creating concentration gradients and fluid flow, which is essential for their stability.
- Research on catalytic Janus particle aggregates reveals that hydrodynamic interactions increase particle mobility, affecting the types of structures formed and their pair distribution.
- The self-organization process involves feedback loops where structures consume substrates and disturb fluid flow, influencing the substrate concentration and consequently the formation and arrangement of the structures.
Interference fit of cementless tibial implants and the initial mechanical environment: A micro-CT and DVC study.

During cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA), an overlap between the resected tibia and the implant's geometry, termed interference fit, is introduced to facilitate primary stability and direct bone-implant contact. However, little is known about the actual interference achieved and the resulting mechanical response in the surrounding cancellous bone. The aim of this study was (1) to experimentally quantify the actual interference achieved for a commercially available cementless tibial implant and (2) to assess its effect on the post-impaction cancellous bone strain.
