In this work, we describe a set of coordinates on the PU(2,1)-representation variety of the fundamental group of an oriented punctured surface Σ with negative Euler characteristic. The main technical tool we use is a set of geometric invariants of a triple of flags in the complex hyperpolic plane H C . We establish a bijection between a set of decorations of an ideal triangulation of Σ and a su...

Based on atomistic calculations of electron and phonon transport, we propose to use surface-decorated silicon nanowires for thermoelectric applications. Two examples of surface decorations are studied to illustrate the underlying ideas: nanotrees and alkyl functionalized silicon nanowires. For both systems we find (i) that the phonon conductance is significantly reduced compared to the electron...

Abstract Anna Lisa Schwartz analyses the rites and expressions surrounding death funeral of Prince Willem IV on 22 October 1751. Schwartz’s essay clearly illustrates that Protestant Reformation did not see an end to lavish ceremonies, funerary decorations, or mourning chapels. died a stadtholder all seven provinces Dutch Republic, position he had achieved only four years before as first scion b...

Many real-world hand-crafted objects are decorated with elements that packed onto the object’s surface and deformed to cover it as much possible. Examples artisanal ceramics metal jewelry. Inspired by these objects, we present a method enrich surfaces volumetric decorations. Our algorithm works first determining locations in which add decorative then removing non-physical overlap between them w...

khan bathroom is the most ancient bathroom and is situated near the old market (bazar). ccording to the inscription seen in the main entrance of khan bathroom, it was made by the sheriff of kurdistan in 1220 during qajar period. one of the features of khan bathroom is the height of space and the length of plan. the implementation of decorative design and the usage of stucco decoration and tile ...

Synchrotron radiation X-ray micro-analytical techniques and vibrational micro-spectroscopy methods were used to establish the factors mechanism of darkening “fake-gilded” decorations in Maestà by Cimabue aged paint mock-ups.

Because of their rheological properties various microbial polysaccharides are applied as thickeners and viscosifiers both in food and non-food industries. A broad variety of microorganisms secrete structurally diverse exopolysaccharides (EPS) that contribute to their surface attachment, protection against abiotic or biotic stress factors, and nutrient gathering. Theoretically, a massive number ...

AbstractFurnishing and rendering indoor scenes has been a long-standing task for interior design, where artists create conceptual design the space, build 3D model of decorate, then perform rendering. Although is important, it tedious requires tremendous effort. In this paper, we introduce new problem domain-specific scene image synthesis, namely neural decoration. Given photograph an empty spac...
