“Depth of field” or “negative forms”: space/syntax from HDR digital photography to hypermedia navigation by Marie-Madeleine Martinet

“…It then looks at the broader chronological context of the interplay of distance and foreground, such as framing structures and brushwork texture in classical landscapes, the role of shadows in painting from Leonardo to Enlightenment theories on perception, the exploration of atmospheric effects and of lighting by Victorian artists and scientists ranging from stage sets to physicists’ experiments. And it concludes on present-day versions of such questions with lighting or blur effects in 3D modelling programmes or exchanges between foreground and backgound in interactive media.…”

A compact theorem on the compactness of ultra-compact objects with monotonically decreasing matter fields by Shahar Hod

“…Abstract Self-gravitating horizonless ultra-compact objects that possess light rings have attracted the attention of physicists and mathematicians in recent years. In the present compact paper we raise the following physically interesting question: Is there a lower bound on the global compactness parameters $$\mathcal{C}\equiv \text {max}_r\{2m(r)/r\}$$ C ≡ max r { 2 m ( r ) / r } of spherically symmetric ultra-compact objects? …”
