A Basic Guide to Global Illumination
Images of the real world are formed by visible light being scattered by surfaces and volumes. The goal of global illumination methods is to simulate the path of light in an environment through the image plane in order to compute realistic images. Not all applications require the accuracy attainable with global illumination methods, and not all global illumination methods are good for all possib...

متن کاملGlobal Renewable Energy Projections
Projections are important tools for long-term planning and policy settings. Renewable energy sources that use indigenous resources have the potential to provide energy services with zero or almost zero emissions of both air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Currently, renewable energy sources supply 14% of the total world energy demand. Renewable energy is a promising alternative solution becaus...
متن کاملDefining Low-Dimensional Projections to Guide Protein Conformational Sampling
Exploring the conformational space of proteins is critical to characterize their functions. Numerous methods have been proposed to sample a protein's conformational space, including techniques developed in the field of robotics and known as sampling-based motion-planning algorithms (or sampling-based planners). However, these algorithms suffer from the curse of dimensionality when applied to la...
متن کاملDimensions of global population projections: what do we know about future population trends and structures?
The total size of the world population is likely to increase from its current 7 billion to 8-10 billion by 2050. This uncertainty is because of unknown future fertility and mortality trends in different parts of the world. But the young age structure of the population and the fact that in much of Africa and Western Asia, fertility is still very high makes an increase by at least one more billio...
