Finding a Real Gem

Real-time Image and Video Processing in GEM

The Graphics Environment for Multimedia, or GEM, is a visual programming language for realtime computer graphics. Operating within the Pd environment, a digital audio and MIDI processing program, GEM creates and manipulates polygonal graphics. Real-time image and video processing have recently been added, increasing the artistic possibilities. Combined with Pd, users have access to an integrate...

Finding the Real You

Everyone has to sift through influences and affectations before settling into their enduring 'identity, but is there really a single 'Crisis' involved or is it a gradual process of discovery and self-acceptance?

Standalone track finding for the GEM-Tracker of the PANDA experiment

A set of planar Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEM) stations will be used as a first forward detector after the central tracker of the PANDA experiment, placed about 1.5 m after the target along the beam axis in a solenoid 2 T magnetic field. The exact number of planes and their positions are yet to be determined based on the simulation studies performed using the PandaRoot package. Current impl...

A Characterization of GEM Distributions

Let (X n) be a residual allocation model with i.i.d. residual fractions U n. For a random variable W with values in 0; 1] independent of (X n) we deene another sequence (Y n) by setting Under minor regularity assumptions we show that (X n) and (Y n) have the same probability law if and only if this law is a GEM distribution. In this case, the distribution of W and the U n 's is beta (1;) for so...
