Stereoscopic viewing, roughness and gloss perception (2013)
Thesis
Methven, T. S. Stereoscopic viewing, roughness and gloss perception. (Thesis). Heriot-Watt University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1321014

This thesis presents a novel investigation into the effect stereoscopic vision has upon the strength of perceived gloss on rough surfaces. We demonstrate that in certain cases disparity is necessary for accurate judgements of gloss strength. We first... Read More about Stereoscopic viewing, roughness and gloss perception.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miranda Manzanares, M., Castro, J., Sagaseta, C., Cañizal, J., & Da Costa, A. (2013, September). Foundations of embankments with encased Stone columns. Presented at 18th International conference on Soil mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Paris

Stone columns are a common improvement technique for foundations of embankments in soft soils. When the soft soil
does not provide enough lateral support, the columns are encased with a geosynthetic. This paper presents a closed-form solution to
st... Read More about Foundations of embankments with encased Stone columns..
