Illusory implications: incidental exposure to ideas can induce beliefs by Justin Mikell, Derek Powell

“…Numerous psychological findings have shown that incidental exposure to ideas makes those ideas seem more true, a finding commonly referred to as the ‘illusory truth’ effect. Under many accounts of the illusory truth effect, initial exposure to a statement provides a metacognitive feeling of ‘fluency’ or familiarity that, upon subsequent exposure, leads people to infer that the statement is more likely to be true. …”

Damage on a Solid–Liquid Interface Induced by the Dynamical Behavior of Injected Gas Bubbles in Flowing Mercury by Hiroyuki Kogawa, Takashi Wakui, Masatoshi Futakawa

“…., the directions of streak-like defects which are formed by connecting the pit damage coincides with the direction of the gas bubble trajectories, and the distances between the pits was understandable when taking the natural period of gas bubble vibration into account. This indicates that gas microbubbles, used to reduce macroscopic pressure waves, have the potential to be inceptions of cavitation damage due to the microscopic pressure emitted from these gas bubbles. …”
