Subjective responses to display bezel characteristics by Peter Howarth, Simon Hodder

“…It has been suggested that bezels with high reflectance, or with a high gloss, could cause eyestrain, and we have investigated this issue. …”

Generation of superhydrophobic surfaces for automotive and marine applications by James West

“…In addition, this coating increases surface gloss from ~64° to ~75° at 60° measurement angle; and decreases surfaces roughness (Ra) from ~60 to ~30 nm.Attempts to modify and enhance the wettability, gloss and stiffness of this existing coating, using a number of polymers and fillers were generally unsuccessful. …”

Characterisation of lithographically printed resistive strain gauges by Gareth I. Hay, Peter S.A. Evans, David J. Harrison, Darren Southee, George Simpson, Paul M. Harrey

“…This paper reports progress in sensor fabrication by the conductive lithographic film (CLF) printing process.Work describing strain-sensitive structures manufactured using a modified printing process and conductive inks is addressed. The performance of a “single-ink” strain-sensitive structure when printed on six alternative substrates (GlossArt, PolyArt, Teslin, Mylar C, Melinex, and Kapton) is analyzed. …”

Development of a superhydrophobic polyurethane-based coating from a two-step plasma-fluoroalkyl silane treatment by James O.F. West, Gary Critchlow, D.R. Lake, R. Banks

“…In addition to changes in SFE, plasma treatment was also observed to alter levels of surface gloss and colour. After exposure to 600 s of plasma gloss levels are shown to reduce from values of from ~50 to ~21 (GU), with small but significant corresponding increases in the lightness and yellowness of the surface.…”

Enhanced water barrier properties of surfactant-free polymer films obtained by macroRAFT-mediated emulsion polymerization by Ignacio Martin-Fabiani, Jennifer Lesage de la Haye, Malin Schulz, Yang Liu, Michelle Lee, Brendan Duffy, Franck D'Agosto, Muriel Lansalot, Joseph L. Keddie

“…The presence of low-molar-mass surfactants in latex films results in detrimental effects on their water permeability, gloss, and adhesion. For applications such as coatings, there is a need to develop formulations that do not contain surfactants and have better water barrier properties. …”

The European and the national in communication research by Sabina Mihelj

“…It points to the simplistic narrative that sees transnational communication in Europe as a very recent phenomenon, and demonstrates how this narrative glosses over various historical forms of transnational communication in Europe. …”

Cognition as context (whose cognition?) by Jonathan Potter

“…In a series of papers Emanuel Schegloff (1987, 1989, 1991, 1992a, b, 1997) has developed arguments concerning the coherence of analytic procedures for addressing entities that would traditionally have been glossed as ‘social structure’ or ‘social context’. …”
