Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation

Towards The Digital Archive of Cultural Heritages –Preservation and Restoration of Ancestral Assets through Observation–

We present an overview of our project to construct a digital archive of cultural heritages. Among the efforts in our project, in this paper, we briefly overview our research on geometric and photometric preservation of cultural assets and restoration of their original appearance. Digital geometric modeling is achieved through a pipeline consisting of scanning, registering and merging multiple r...

Kurt Semm: A laparoscopic crusader

A brief biography of Kurt Semm, the pioneer of laparoscopic appendectomy and inventor of various laparoscopic instruments are done, with special reference to his struggle to establish the foundation of minimally invasive surgery amongst his contemporary surgeons.

Politicized Historiography and the Zionist-Crusader Analogy

Imperial College,

We review the properties of classical p-brane solutions to supergravity theories, i.e. solutions that may be interpreted as Poincaré-invariant hyperplanes in space-time. Topics covered include the distinction between elementary/electric and soli-tonic/magnetic solutions, examples of singularity and global structure, relations between mass densities, charge densities and the preservation of unbr...

Imperial College,

Data from the first run of the BABAR detector at the PEP II accelerator are presented. Measurements of many rare B decay modes are now possible using the large data sets currently being collected by BABAR. An overview of analysis techniques and results on data collected in 2000 are described.
