Dappled tiling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a certain tiling problem of a planar region in which there are no long horizontal or vertical strips consisting of copies of the same tile. Intuitively speaking, we would like to create a dappled pattern with two or more kinds of tiles. We give an efficient algorithm to solve the problem, and discuss its applications in texturing.

Archimedes’ Cattle Problem
If thou art diligent and wise, O stranger, compute the number of cattle of the Sun, who once upon a time grazed on the fields of the Thrinacian isle of Sicily, divided into four herds of different colours, one milk white, another glossy black, the third yellow and the last dappled. In each herd were bulls, mighty in number according to these proportions: Understand, stranger, that the white bul...
متن کاملPolygonal tiling of some surfaces containing fullerene molecules
A tiling of a surface is a decomposition of the surface into pieces, i.e. tiles, which cover it without gaps or overlaps. In this paper some special polygonal tiling of sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, and torus as the most abundant shapes of fullerenes are investigated.
متن کاملThe Limits of Modeling
First, I propose a new argument in favor of the Dappled World perspective introduced by Nancy Cartwright. There are systems, for which detailed models can't exist in the natural world. And this has nothing to do with the limitations of human minds or technical resources. The limitation is built into the very principle of modeling: we are trying to replace some system by another one. In full det...
متن کاملGreening the blue mud!
The happiest teacher should have married ‘three wives’, namely: teaching, research and social service. I did so for the sake of mangroves: sites of ecological wonder and scenic splendor. Boat rides through the sun-dappled waterways in the mangrove forests attracted me. The breath-taking beauty of the coastal forest, with its arching roots, breathing roots, salt-vomiting leaves and ‘mud dancing’...
متن کاملIdentification of immune system and response genes, and novel mutations causing melanotic tumor formation in Drosophila melanogaster.
We are using Drosophila as a model system for analysis of immunity and tumor formation and have conducted two types of screens using enhancer detector strains to find genes related to these processes; genes expressed in the immune system (type A; hemocytes, lymph glands and fat body) and genes increased in expression by bacterial infection (type B). For type A, tissue-specific reporter gene act...
