Meta-programming is the act of using one system or language to reason about another one. Reflection describes systems that have access to and change a causally connected representation of themselves, hence leading to self-extensible systems. In reflective languages, only one language is used, while in meta-programming two languages play a role (the base language and the meta language). In this ...

Reflection from reflective surface has been a long-standing problem for object recognition, it brings negative effects on object’s color, texture and structural information. Because of that, it is not a trivial task to recognize the surface structure affected by the reflection, especially when the object is entirely reflective. Most of the time, reflection is considered as noise. In this paper,...

CONTEXT Reflection and reflective practice have become popular topics of scholarly dialogue in medical education. This popularity has given rise to checklists, portfolios and other tools to inspire and document reflection. We argue that some of the common ways in which reflection has been applied are influenced by broader discourses of assessment and evidence, and divorced from original theorie...

The significant role of reflection in sustaining the quality of learning and teaching (L&T) activities at high levels has been widely acknowledged in literature. Reflection has been identified as a key factor underpinning both successful learning by students and successful continuing professional development by their teaching staff in higher education. This study focuses on aspects associated w...

We study the affine A (1) n−1 Toda fields with boundary reflection. Our approach is based on the free field approach. We construct free field realizations of the boundary state and its dual. For an application of these realizations, we present integral representations for the form factors of the local operators. In a limiting case ρ → ∞, our integral representations reproduce those of form fact...

For synthesizing realistic images of a real three dimensional object, reflectance properties of the object surface, as well as the object shape, need to be measured. This paper describes one approach to create a three dimensional object model with physically correct reflectance properties by observing a real object. The approach consists of three steps. First, a sequence of range images and col...
