title: Deltochilini and Phanaeini dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in introduced and native ecosystems of Brazil

description: The dung beetle tribes Deltochilini and Phanaeini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) play an important ecological role in the habitats in which they live. Despite much field work on these beetles in the Neotropical region, biological information on many taxa is still unknown. Here we provide information on species of Deltochilini and Phanaeini including temporal distribution of adults, sex ratio (Male : Female) and measurements of the individuals as well as on ecology and general biology of all species sampled in introduced (pasturelands of <i>Brachiaria</i> spp.) and native (patch of the Brazilian savanna) ecosystems of Brazil. Furthermore, our findings may help to understand the complexity of the effects of mixed ecosystems on the biodiversity of dung beetles.

title: Complex Motion: Standstill and Motion Capture Illusions

description: A series of illusions were created by presenting stimuli in which some visual information (i.e. depth or color) is in complex motion (rotating, expanding, contracting or shearing) while some other visual information (i.e. luminance texture) is stationary or vice versa. When the luminance texture is stationary, an observer either perceives or fails to perceive complex depth or color motion (success or failure of motion transparencygiving rise to motion standstill). When the luminance texture is in complex motion, an observer either perceives the depth or color information as stationary (motion transparency) or as moving in synchrony with the luminance texture (failure of motion transparency resulting in motion capture). Here we demonstrate the existence of stereo rotation, expanding or contraction standstill and capture illusions ans stereo shearing standstill and capture illusions. We also demonstrate the existence of color complex motion standstill and capture illusions. Unlike as in stereo vision, color complex standstill and capture illusions occur only for stimuli with smooth transitions, but not for color stimuli with sharp transitions between their colors. Taken together, these illusions are consistent with the hypothesis that complex motion is processed in a common pathway to which the putative feature tracking stereoscopic or chromatic motion system has no access. The main input to the complex motion pathway originates from a first order (velocity based) luminance motion pathway. With regards to color vision, additional evidence was found for the existence of two separate color motion systems: i) A feature tracking system for isoluminant chromatic stimuli moving at low to medium speeds with smooth transitions between their colors. ii) A velocity based first order system both for luminance and chromatic stimuli with sharp transitions between their colors feeding into a common complex motion pathway.

title: Complex Motion: Standstill and Motion Capture Illusions

description: A series of illusions was created by presenting stimuli, which consisted of two overlapping surfaces each defined by textures of independent visual features (i.e. modulation of luminance, color, depth, etc.). When presented concurrently with a stationary 2-D luminance texture, observers often fail to perceive the motion of an overlapping stereoscopically defined depth-texture. This <strong><em>illusory motion standstill</em></strong> arises due to a failure to represent two independent surfaces (one for luminance and one for depth textures) and <em><strong>motion transparency</strong></em> (the ability to perceive motion of both surfaces simultaneously). Instead the stimulus is represented as a single non-transparent surface taking on the stationary nature of the luminance-defined texture. By contrast, if it is the 2D-luminance defined texture that is in motion, observers often perceive the stationary depth texture as also moving. In this latter case, the failure to represent the motion transparency of the two textures gives rise to <em><strong>illusionary motion capture</strong></em>. Our past work demonstrated that the illusions of motion standstill and motion capture can occur for depth-textures that are rotating, or expanding / contracting, or else spiraling. Here I extend these findings to include stereo-shearing. More importantly, it is the motion (or lack thereof) of the luminance texture that determines how the motion of the depth will be perceived. This observation is strongly in favor of a single pathway for complex motion that operates on luminance-defines texture motion signals only. In addition, these complex motion illusions arise with chromatically-defined textures with smooth, transitions between their colors. This suggests that in respect to color motion perception the complex motions’ pathway is only able to accurately process signals from isoluminant colored textures with sharp transitions between colors, and/or moving at high speeds, which is conceivable if it relies on inputs from a hypothetical dual opponent pathway.

title: Optical Property Analyses of Plant Cells for Adaptive Optics Microscopy

description: In astronomy, adaptive optics (AO) can be used to cancel aberrations caused by atmospheric turbulence and to perform diffraction-limited observation of astronomical objects from the ground. AO can also be applied to microscopy, to cancel aberrations caused by cellular structures and to perform high-resolution live imaging. As a step toward the application of AO to microscopy, here we analyzed the optical properties of plant cells. We used leaves of the moss Physcomitrella patens, which have a single layer of cells and are thus suitable for optical analysis. Observation of the cells with bright field and phase contrast microscopy, and image degradation analysis using fluorescent beads demonstrated that chloroplasts provide the main source of optical degradations. Unexpectedly, the cell wall, which was thought to be a major obstacle, has only a minor effect. Such information provides the basis for the application of AO to microscopy for the observation of plant cells.

title: Transition probabilities of Re II spectral lines

description: <b>Table 1.</b> Transition probabilities of Re II spectral lines. The names adopted here for the levels are those of NIST; thus, sequential numbers are assigned instead of term designations for those levels that have no meaningful names. The experimental values obtained in this work are compared to those from [24] and to the theoretical values from [20]. <strong>Abstract</strong> Experimental transition probabilities for 37 spectral lines of Re II (15 measured for the first time) have been obtained from a plasma produced by ablation of a Zn–Re alloy with a Nd:YAG laser. The plasma evolved in air at atmospheric pressure, and measurements were performed for the following plasma parameters: an electron density of (1.27 ± 0.19) <b>×</b> 10<sup>17</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup> and an electron temperature of 11 200 ± 400 K. The relative intensities were placed on an absolute scale by the combining branching fractions with the measured lifetimes and by comparing well-known lines using the plasma temperature. Some plasma parameters, such as the temperature and the electron density, were also obtained to provide a local thermodynamic equilibrium environment and an optically thin plasma. Comparisons were made to previously obtained experimental and theoretical values wherever possible.

title: The Cu II measured Stark FWHM (<em>W<sub>m</sub></em>) obtained at 19 300 K electron temperature and normalized to an 1 <b>×</b>

description: <b>Table 2.</b> The Cu II measured Stark FWHM (<em>W<sub>m</sub></em>) obtained at 19 300 K electron temperature and normalized to an 1 <b>×</b> 10<sup>23</sup> m<sup>−3</sup> electron density. The <em>W<sub>S</sub></em> [12], <em>W<sub>F</sub></em> [10] and <em>W<sub>N</sub></em> [11] represent existing experimental data at 24 000, 10 000 and 20 000 K electron temperatures, respectively and are normalized to an 1 <b>×</b> 10<sup>23</sup> m<sup>−3</sup> electron density, also. Ratio <em>W<sub>m</sub></em>/<em>W<sub>s</sub></em> is given at 19 300 K. <strong>Abstract</strong> In this work we present the Stark widths (<em>W</em>) of 22 neutral (Cu I) and 100 singly ionized (Cu II) copper spectral lines that have been measured at 18 400 K and 19 300 K electron temperatures and 6.3 <b>×</b> 10<sup> 22</sup> m<sup>−3</sup> and 2.1 <b>×</b> 10<sup> 23</sup> m<sup>−3</sup> electron densities, respectively. The experiment is conducted in the laser-induced plasma—the Nd:YAG laser, operating at 532 nm, was used to produce plasma from the copper sample in the residual air atmosphere at a pressure of 8 Pa. The electron temperature and density were estimated by the Boltzmann-plot method and from the Saha equation. The investigated Cu I lines belong to the 4s–4p', 4s<sup> 2</sup>–4p'' and 4p'–4d' transitions while Cu II spectral lines belong to the 4s–4p, 4p–5s, 4p–4d, 4p–4s<sup> 2</sup>, 4d–4f and 4d–v transitions. Comparison with existing experimental data was possible only in the case of 17 Cu II lines due to a lack of experimental and theoretical values. The rest of the data, Stark widths of 22 Cu I and 83 Cu II lines are published for the first time.
