Visible Persistence of Single-Transient Random Dot Patterns: Spatial Parameters Affect the Duration of Fading Percepts by Maximilian Bruchmann (736380)

“…The results show that (i) irrespective of the reference modality, participants are able to precisely judge the on- and the offsets of the fading percepts, (ii) auditory reference stimuli lead to higher visible persistence durations than visual ones, (iii) visible persistence duration increases with the thickness of annuli and the diameter of disks, but decreases with the diameter of annuli, irrespective of stimulus eccentricity. …”

Oogamy improves adult fitness by temporarily suppressing variance. by Arunas L. Radzvilavicius (3594590)

“…In contrast, with oogamy (<i>Q</i> = 4, red) the larger number of mitochondria contained in the zygotes (2^<i>Q</i><i>M</i> = 800) are partitioned without further replication (over four rounds of cell division) until the standard mitochondrial number (<i>M</i> = 50) is restored. …”

Nanoscopic Vibrations of Bacteria with Different Cell-Wall Properties Adhering to Surfaces under Flow and Static Conditions by Lei Song (30203)

“…In streptococci, the polyelectrolyte network surrounding a bacterium is formed by fibrillar surface appendages and spring constants derived from vibrational amplitudes decreased with increasing fibrillar density. In staphylococci, EPS constitutes the main network component, and larger amounts of EPS yielded higher spring constants. …”
