Abstract Achieving homogeneous oil and water mixing requires thorough droplet dispersions of both liquids.An additional component, such as a surfactant, particle, solvent or ion is normally required to stabilize the small liquid droplets by providing sufficiently low interfacial tensions or strong repulsive forces.Here we show that very stable oil-
Festschrift: how do we value artefacts in museum research?
Museums of science and technology are well known for their efforts in collecting, preserving and exhibiting material expressions of techno-scientific cultures.Often, however, they have been struggling with their task in advancing historical knowledge production based on object-oriented research.This paper explores the eminent role of Robert Bud, lo
Leveraging Prior Concept Learning Improves Generalization From Few Examples in Computational Models of Human Object Recognition
Humans quickly and accurately learn new visual concepts from sparse data, sometimes just a single example.The impressive performance of artificial neural networks which hierarchically pool afferents across scales and positions suggests that the hierarchical organization of the human visual system is critical to its accuracy.These approaches, howeve
