Ulyssean Carnival: Epic Metamorphoses in Wilson Harris's Trilogy

Resource Discovery in Trilogy

Trilogy is a collaborative project whose key aim is the development of an integrated virtual laboratory to support research training within each institution and collaborative projects between the partners. In this paper, the architecture and underpinning platform of the system is described with particular emphasis being placed on the structure and the integration of the distributed database. A ...

Eulerian Trilogy

Three Eulerian models are implemented on a network graph model of air traffic flow. The underlying network is constructed using one year of ASDI/ETMS data. The three models are applied to high altitude traffic for a full Air Route Traffic Control Center of the National Airspace System and surrounding airspace. Simulations are carried out for a full day of data, to assess the predictive capabili...

Patterns of Rape in Ovid's Metamorphoses

The subject of rape is pervasive throughout Ovid's Metamorphoses. The myths themselves are by no means originals of the poet; however, his treatment of these stories is remarkably divergent from his predecessors' in that he provides a uniquely female perspective by outlining both the victim's suffering and the barbaric nature of the perpetrator. In Ovid's representations of these rape myths, ra...

Metamorphoses : The Myth of Evolutionary Possibility

Metamorphoses Through Lie Group Action

We formally analyze a computational problem which has important applications in image understanding and shape analysis. The problem can be summarized as follows. Starting from a group action on a Riemannian manifold M , we introduce a modification of the metric by partly expressing displacements on M as an effect of the action of some group element. The study of this new structure relates to ev...
