TL;DR: The role of exposure to particular faces for the detection of facial similarities by asking judges to detect parent-child pairs using faces from different origins suggests that exposure has a limited role in the ability to process facial resemblance in others, which contrasts with facial recognition processing.
Abstract: Humans use facial comparisons to identify their relatives and adjust their behavior accordingly. However, the mechanisms underlying the assessment of facial similarities are poorly known. Here, we investigate the role of exposure to particular faces for the detection of facial similarities by asking judges to detect parent–child pairs using faces from different origins. In a first phase, French and Senegalese judges assessed facial resemblance in French and Senegalese families. In a second phase, Senegalese judges who had immigrated to France, as well as French and Senegalese stationary judges, were asked to rate a second set of Senegalese and French families. The judges showed no differences in their ability to detect parent–child pairs in French and Senegalese families in both the first and second phases. For judges who changed their country of residence, the answer time and duration of stay in the new country were not associated with correct assignment rates. Our results suggest that exposure has a limited role in the ability to process facial resemblance in others, which contrasts with facial recognition processing. We also discuss whether processing facial similarities is a by-product of the facial recognition system or an evolved ability to assess kinship relationships.

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear metamaterial is proposed to provide power dependent absorption of incident surface waves, which can be used on enclosures for electric devices to protest against damage.
Abstract: We demonstrate a concept of a nonlinear metamaterial that provides power dependent absorption of incident surface waves. The metasurface includes nonlinear circuits which transform it from a low loss to high loss state when illuminated with high power waves. The proposed surface allows low power signals to propagate but strongly absorbs high power signals. It can potentially be used on enclosures for electric devices to protest against damage. We experimentally verify that the nonlinear metasurface has two distinct states controlled by the incoming signal power. We also demonstrate that it inhibits the propagation of large signals and dramatically decreases the field that is leaked through an opening in a conductive enclosure.

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic structure of lightly Nb-doped (SrTiO) and lightly La-Doped (LaDoped) x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) spectra was investigated using high resolution XAS, and two features due to empty states whose energy positions match with those of the $3d$ photoemission spectra in the band gap energy region of the parent undoped
Abstract: The electronic structure of lightly Nb-doped ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ has been investigated using high resolution x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Below the O $1s$ threshold, XAS spectra show two features due to empty states whose energy positions match with those of the $3d$ photoemission spectra in the band gap energy region of the parent undoped ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}.$ Similar features are also observed in lightly La-doped ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}.$ These features exhibit systematic temperature dependence, which is well explained by the Fermi-Dirac distribution function. This indicates that the two features in the band gap are real bulk states such as simple donor states.

TL;DR: The 2.4-Å-resolution structure of HeR from an uncultured Thermoplasmatales archaeon SG8-52-1 shows that it adopts a similar fold to that of type I rhodopsin—despite the low sequence identity—but there are also several marked differences that provide insights into heliorhodopin function.
Abstract: Heliorhodopsins (HeRs) are a family of rhodopsins that was recently discovered using functional metagenomics1. They are widely present in bacteria, archaea, algae and algal viruses2,3. Although HeRs have seven predicted transmembrane helices and an all-trans retinal chromophore as in the type-1 (microbial) rhodopsin, they display less than 15% sequence identity with type-1 and type-2 (animal) rhodopsins. HeRs also exhibit the reverse orientation in the membrane compared with the other rhodopsins. Owing to the lack of structural information, little is known about the overall fold and the photoactivation mechanism of HeRs. Here we present the 2.4-A-resolution structure of HeR from an uncultured Thermoplasmatales archaeon SG8-52-1 (GenBank sequence ID LSSD01000000). Structural and biophysical analyses reveal the similarities and differences between HeRs and type-1 microbial rhodopsins. The overall fold of HeR is similar to that of bacteriorhodopsin. A linear hydrophobic pocket in HeR accommodates a retinal configuration and isomerization as in the type-1 rhodopsin, although most of the residues constituting the pocket are divergent. Hydrophobic residues fill the space in the extracellular half of HeR, preventing the permeation of protons and ions. The structure reveals an unexpected lateral fenestration above the β-ionone ring of the retinal chromophore, which has a critical role in capturing retinal from environment sources. Our study increases the understanding of the functions of HeRs, and the structural similarity and diversity among the microbial rhodopsins.
