A 3D shape of an object is N-fold rotational-symmetric if the shape is invariant for 360/N degree rotations about an axis. Human observers are sensitive to the 2D rotational-symmetry of a retinal image, but they are less sensitive than they are to 2D mirror-symmetry, which involves invariance to reflection across an axis. Note that perception of the mirror-symmetry of a 2D image and a 3D shape has been well studied, where it has been shown that observers are sensitive to the mirror-symmetry of a 3D shape, and that 3D mirror-symmetry plays a critical role in the veridical perception of a 3D shape from its 2D image. On the other hand, the perception of rotational-symmetry, especially 3D rotational-symmetry, has received very little study. In this paper, we derive the geometrical properties of 2D and 3D rotational-symmetry and compare them to the geometrical properties of mirror-symmetry. Then, we discuss perceptual differences between mirror- and rotational-symmetry based on this comparison. We found that rotational-symmetry has many geometrical properties that are similar to the geometrical properties of mirror-symmetry, but note that the 2D projection of a 3D rotational-symmetrical shape is more complex computationally than the 2D projection of a 3D mirror-symmetrical shape. This computational difficulty could make the human visual system less sensitive to the rotational-symmetry of a 3D shape than its mirror-symmetry.

The article considers the issue of managerial decision-making in an oil and gas company, which is related to the class of multi-criteria choice problems. To improve the validity of decisions in the context of companies’ sustainable development it is proposed to implement a Decision Support System (DSS). A brief review of the existing methods of ...

Теорема Гудмана-Штрауса утверждает, что для “почти всякой” подстановки семейство подстановочных замощений софично, т.е. может быть задано локальными правилами для некоторой раскраски плиток. Условия на подстановку, гарантирующие софичность, довольно сложные.
В настоящей работе мы предлагаем версию теоремы Гудмана-Штрауса с более простыми условиями на подстановку. Хотя эти условия достаточно ограничительны, мы показываем, что в сочетании с двумя простыми приемами (взятием достаточно ...

Equilibration is often assumed rather than tested in molecular dynamics studies of confined liquid–liquid interfaces, even though different physical properties may relax on different time scales. In this work, equilibration is examined using an automated truncation method based on the marginal standard error rule. Interfacial geometry, wetting behaviour, and density-related properties are analysed for liquid–liquid ...

Previously, it has been effectively shown that nuclear quantum effects (NQE) considerably influence the prediction of the warm dense hydrogen phase diagram. Here, we study the influence of NQE on the parameters of the conducting state formation in warm dense hydrogen using path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) within the framework of the finite temperature density ...

Context and relevance. Traditionally, the operationalization of project-based activity among university teachers has been confined to either an inventory of didactic techniques or a delineation of role functions. Yet, should project-based activity be regarded as a distinct construct — namely, a pedagogical competency — it becomes necessary to provide empirical validation of its structure and ...

Artificial intelligence has significantly reshaped contemporary software engineering practice,
changing how software systems are designed, implemented, tested, and maintained. Recent advances in large
language models and AI-assisted development tools have expanded the role of AI from supporting isolated
tasks to participating in multiple stages of the software lifecycle. In many development settings, software is
now created from high-level specifications ...

Abstract
Automated interpretation of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) data is central to condition assessment of long-distance oil and gas pipelines. Yet, full-resolution panoramas are difficult to process without either suppressing small anomalies through resizing or fragmenting elongated objects at sliding-window boundaries. We propose MFL-ScrollNet, a recurrent sliding-window detector that formulates panoramic analysis as an ordered sequence ...

Efficient management of the Key-Value (KV) cache is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) in long-context scenarios, where memory requirements often exceed the capacity of resource-constrained hardware. Many existing training-free compression algorithms typically rely on attention-driven heuristics, but exhibit two key limitations. First, they require explicit attention score computation, which is difficult to reconcile ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

A new structure connecting toric degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds by projections was introduced by I. Cheltsov et al. in “Birational geometry via moduli spaces”. Using Mirror Symmetry, these connections were transferred to the side of Landau–Ginzburg models, and a nice way to connect the Picard rank one Fano threefolds was described. We apply this ...
