This is especially prevalent in objects with a higher bulk tin content (>10% Sn), where loss of surface copper is known to facilitate the development of a stable patina12,13,14.
This is in part due to technology which makes locating and transmitting multimedia objects prevalent, and in part due to the increasing understanding of how multimedia objects contribute to learning and retention (Sims et al. 2002).
It is perhaps significant that backward connections should be so prevalent in the object recognition pathway, given the clear evolutionary importance of recognising objects and the fact that occluded objects are a classic example of nonlinearity, whose recognition may depend on top-down predictions (Mumford 1994).
He argued against the prevalent view that such objects were "Stones form'd by some extraordinary Plastick virtue latent in the Earth itself".
While pictures deemed important stand a chance even when they no longer suit the prevalent tastes, furniture and decorative objects do not get the same easy pass.
Before human-made objects were so prevalent, bowerbirds decorated their bowers with leaves, flowers, fruits, and bugs.
When parking meters first became prevalent in the 1950s, the RAC objected to the idea that motorists should pay simply to leave their cars at the side of the road.
General problems and prevalent solutions to the modeling of heterogeneous objects are investigated.
Commonly the structure imposed for visualising a 2-D map is a square grid, but a giant hexagon formed by smaller hexagons is prevalent in many natural and man-made objects, such as a honeycomb or at Giant's Causeway.
Ice giants like Planet Nine are prevalent throughout the galaxy; lacking such an object, our solar system had begun to seem anomalous.
Until then the prevalent attitude had been that dice and similar objects fell the way they did because of the indirect action of gods or supernatural forces.
