The single-column mode (SCM) of the ICON (ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic) modeling framework is presented. The primary purpose of the ICON SCM is to use it as a tool for research, model evaluation and development. Thanks to the simplified geometry of the...

Icon design is an important part of UI design, and a design task that designers often encounter. During the design process, it is important to highlight the function of icons themselves and avoid excessive similarity with similar icons, i.e., to have...

The size of a touch icon is a critical factor affecting smartphone use performance. The existing literature recommends a 10-mm icon side/diameter for a successful touch. Though this can be applicable in routine use, there are circumstances where smal...

Since Manolis Chatzidakis’s pivotal publications on post-Byzantine Cretan icon painting in the 1970s, research in the field is, by now, very well established. In turn, these studies have demonstrated the contribution of Venetian Crete’s a...

Drawing on data from ethnographic fieldwork, this study focuses on an icon known as Panagia Amirou kept at the Amirou Monastery in Cyprus. Instead of analyzing its unusual form, consisting of two icons from different times inserted one into another,...

The authors discuss the Orthodox icon which Pavel Filonov (1883–1941) painted in 1908 or 1909 for his sister, Ekaterina, placing it within the broader context of his oeuvre, his family and his understanding of ‘religiosity’. Making reference to Filon...

Much scholarship in the dialogue between evangelical and Orthodox believers focuses on doctrinal compatibility. This article contributes to that literature by giving an example of a spiritual practice (icon veneration) that creates additional space f...

(1) Background: The transition from conventional to remote aircraft control will necessitate the development of novel human machine interfaces. When we consider the pilot interface, icons are traditionally used to associate meanings with functions on...

The sensitivity of the ICON model is gauged towards the establishment of ICON-LEPS in place of the currently operational COSMO-LEPS. A broad list of the model’s parameters were tested over a domain covering the wider area of Greece and Italy in...

This paper starts from the assumption that the human individual and its concomitant, the human body, are conceivably idols of secularism. There is a certain irony, perhaps an irony shared with all idols, that such idolatry is so close to, and yet so...

Icons are integral to the signature systems within architectural spaces, serving pivotal roles through human–environment interactions. However, previous icon designs often exhibited a considerable randomness and neglected the needs of visually...

The visualization of fully polarimetric radar data is hindered by traditional remote sensing methodologies for displaying data due to the large number of parameters per pixel in such data, and the non-scalar nature of variables such as phase differen...

In the collections of the Harvard Art Museums there is an icon of the Virgin and Child with Saints John the Baptist and Roch. Although a typical product of Cretan icon painting of the turn of the sixteenth century, the icon stands out from similar co...

Wooden icons used in liturgical activities suffer a series of evolutionary deteriorations and degradations over time, due to improper storage and use conditions. The deterioration of the physical state of the structural-functional elements and degrad...

The Third Pole region, especially the Himalayas, is a lightning hotspot. Predicting lightning activity in this region is difficult due to the complex monsoon and westerly circulations, as well as the complex orography. Km-scale simulations can explic...

In human–computer interaction interfaces, icons serve as highly symbolic elements that convey information and significantly influence the performance of visual search and other tasks. Thus, the selection of appropriate colors plays a crucial ro...

In this work, the results of a sensitivity study based on ICON-LAM simulations at 2.5 km of spatial resolution over the Italian area, driven by ECMWF IFS global data, are presented. The main aim is to provide a contribution to the selection of suitab...

Based on the individual traits of the user’s construal level differences, this study examines the visual cognition differences of graphic–text combined icon concreteness in the interface between users with high and low construal levels. W...

Iconic words constitute an integral part of the lexicon of a language, exhibiting form-meaning resemblance. Over the course of time, semantic and phonetic transformations “weaken” the degree of iconicity of a word. This iconicity loss is...

The Michelson Interferometer for Global High-resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) on board the ICON satellite provides effective measurement of horizontal winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. In order to verify the measur...

Augmented Reality Head-Up Displays (AR-HUDs) enhance driver perception and safety, yet optimal hazard warning design remains unclear. This study examines three AR-HUD crash warning icon types (BD, BR, BW) across various turning scenarios. Using a 360...

Validation of ICON model configurations optimized over a limited domain is essential before accepting new semi-empirical parameters that influence the behavior of subgrid-scale schemes. Because such parameters can modify the dynamics of a numerical w...

This study investigated how icon array layouts influence comprehension of medical risk information, particularly in relation to users’ cognitive abilities. In a within-subjects experiment (N = 121), participants reviewed clinical scenarios with...

Background: Resin infiltration has emerged as a micro-invasive strategy for managing enamel porosities, offering both therapeutic and aesthetic benefits. ICON^® (DMG, Hamburg, Germany) is the most widely used system; however, evidence on its penet...

This study aimed to evaluate the change in enamel color and surface micro-hardness following the use of resin-infiltration concept material (ICON) and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (CPP-ACFP) remineralizing agent. Fifty-f...

The study, preservation and restoration of the cultural heritage objects of mankind are not only of great cultural importance but also have a significant economic component because cultural values of past centuries attract tourists from all over the...

The study of iconicity, i.e., of a link between form and meaning in a word based on similarity, has gained increased attention in recent years. Although recent research has shown an important role of iconicity for first language acquisition, its role...

Polar mesocyclones are often the cause of sudden worsening of weather conditions, including strong winds, snowfall with low visibility, and storms. The short lifetime, rapid development, high movement speeds, and small sizes, combined with a lack of...

The lack of meteorological observations at high latitudes and the small size and relatively short lifetime of polar lows (PLs) constitute a problem in the simulation and prediction of these phenomena by numerical models. On the other hand, PLs, which...
