Reversal rates as a function of dot luminance of the two motion-defined surfaces. by P. Christiaan Klink (180011)

“…<p>For the average group data (n = 5) the reversal rates of individual observers were normalized to the mean reversal rate over all conditions. Logically following from the demonstrated effect of dot-luminance induced percept probability on the mean dominance durations (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0003473#pone-0003473-g003" target="_blank">fig. 3</a> & <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0003473#pone-0003473-g004" target="_blank">fig. 4</a>) these plots demonstrate that for both the group data and the individual observers' reversal rates decrease when the luminance difference between the two surfaces increases. …”

Self-Spreading of Phospholipid Bilayer in a Patterned Framework of Polymeric Bilayer by Fuyuko Tamura (4054588)

Impacts of Tree Rows on Grassland Birds and Potential Nest Predators: A Removal Experiment by Kevin S. Ellison (397271)

“…Because woody vegetation fragments grasslands and potential nest predator diversity and abundance is often greater along wooded edge and grassland transitions, we measured the impacts of removing rows of trees and shrubs that intersected grasslands on potential nest predators and the three most abundant grassland bird species (Henslow’s sparrow [<i>Ammodramus henslowii</i>], Eastern meadowlark [<i>Sturnella magna</i>], and bobolink [<i>Dolichonyx oryzivorus</i>]) at sites in Wisconsin, U.S.A. …”
