A general method for determining film-to-film scaling constants

Computer program for determining optical constants of a film on an opaque substrate.

A Film Method for Determining the Reaction of the Liquids of the Body by Indicators

" Scire est nescire, nisi id me Scire alius sciret." october, 1923. A large body of evidence has accumulated in support of the electrolytic dissociation theory originally put forward by Arrhenius in 1887, and at the present time the conception of the reaction of a solution, whether acid, alkaline or neutral, is to be regarded either from the point of view of the absolute quantity of neutralisab...

Toward a General Theory of Film Spectatorship

This article presents a general theory of the film spectator from a cognitive perspective. This perspective considers Thagard’s (2000) notion of ‘striving for coherence’ as the most appropriate description of spectators’ mental dispositions toward feature films; it regards Fauconnier & Turner’s (2002) theory of Mental Spaces and Conceptual Blending as the most comprehensive account of human mea...

Jump method for optical thin film design.

This paper proposes a method called Jump method for optimization of optical thin films. The method is the combination of local search strategy using modified Coordinate-Wise Algorithm and global search strategy using modified Evolutionary Algorithm. Jump method can evolve the designs of optical thin films for good performances. The design of a dielectric beam splitter and an edge filter as exam...

Determining a scene's atmosphere by film grammar rules

A new approach for bridging over the semantic gap is presented. This approach is based solely on the extraction of low-level illumination features, and by using well defined film rules regarding scene lighting, it generates high level semantic descriptors for scenes. These illumination descriptors could be further combined with other descriptors like motion and shot tempo, to generate a more co...
