3D Surface Configuration Modulated 2D Symmetry Detection

To perceive a Shooting Mats symmetric pattern, an observer needs to find correspondence between two image elements across the symmetric axis, implying an excitatory relationship between perceptual mechanisms responding to these elements.To perceive a 3D structure in a random dot stereogram (RDS), the perceptual mechanisms tuned to different dispari

Regulation of marine plankton respiration: A test of models

Plankton respiration is a major process removing oxygen from pelagic environments and constitutes one of the largest oxygen transformations in the sea.Where the O2 supplies due to dissolution, advection and oxygenic photosynthesis are not sufficient, hypoxic, or anoxic waters may result.Coastal waters with limited water exchange are especially pron
