TL;DR: Spectral sensitivity curves of dark-adapted dorso-posterior and ventro-anterior eye regions of Notonecta irrorata, N. isulata, and N. undulata have similar shapes, but with long-wavelength light adaptation the 520 nm peak becomes more depressed than does the 375 nm peak and a third peak at 475 nm becomes evident.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper argued that sociologists tend to focus on quantifiable aspects of religion rather than the "meaning" of it, to description rather than to understanding and explanation, which is a serious obstacle to a thorough analysis of the institution of religion.
Abstract: With the end of hostility between sociology and organized religion came a new, perhaps equally serious, obstacle to a thorough analysis of the institution of religion. As they left their polemics behind, sociologists tended to limit their study to the quantifiable aspects of religion rather than the "meaning" of it, to description rather than to understanding and explanation. We must move on from the analytic levels of religious identification and participation to that of commitment, for it is here that the religious factor becomes most relevant to social behavior; and in so doing, we must structure our research to cope with this difficult dimension.

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of a quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator under a random perturbation of the form $f(t){q}^{2}$ is discussed.
Abstract: The behavior of a quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator under a random perturbation of the form $f(t){q}^{2}$ is discussed. Equations are obtained governing the time evolution of the Wigner function and the weight function for the $P$ representation. The latter function satisfies a fourth-order differential equation, in contrast to the simpler second-order equation obeyed by the Wigner function.

TL;DR: In this article, the treatment of Rau is shown to be equivalent to the mathematical approach, and the use of the physical group leads to new relationships not present in the mathematical approaches.
Abstract: The two different uses of ${R}_{4}$, one as a mathematical and one as physical group which were discussed in previous work, are presented. The treatment of Rau is shown to be equivalent to the mathematical approach. The use of the physical group leads to new relationships not present in the mathematical approach.
