The diffusion of computer technology has led to an increased interest in computer gaming. A study conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project (2001) found that over half of teens in the U.S. play or download computer games. Both boys and girls are proficient gamers, although boys are more likely to self-identify as such (Bryce & Rutter, 2003). The combination of the popularity of co...

This report summarizes the discussions of the Working Group on Character Recognition of the IAPR 1990 Workshop on Syntactic and Structural Pattern Recognition, Murray Hill, NJ, 13-15 June 1990.

George Nagy moderated the discussion and Thom...

With the goal of demonstrating the advantages of supercomputer simulations for process design and operations, Bayer AG recently teamed up with Cray Research to perform plantwide dynamic simulations of an entire Bayer production facility in Leverkusen. This paper presents project results and benefits from both a computational standpoint and a Bayer company perspective. Regarding computational as...

Mayr and Meyer [MM] found ideals with the doubly exponential ideal membership property. Further investigations of the doubly exponential properties of these ideals can be found in Bayer and Stillman [BS], Demazure [D], and Koh [K]. Following a question of Bayer, Huneke and Stillman, the author has investigated in [S1, S2, S3] the properties of the primary decompositions and the associated prime...

In this paper, we propose a new method for color image-based authentication that combines multispectral photon-counting imaging (MPCI) and double random phase encoding (DRPE) schemes. The sparsely distributed information from MPCI and the stationary white noise signal from DRPE make intruder attacks difficult. In this authentication method, the original multispectral RGB color image is down-sam...
