We consider the problem of quantum ‘‘reflection above the barrier,’’ introducing a distorted-wave Born approximation based on the primitive semiclassical Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin wave function. The idea generalizes to the concept of an unperturbed Hamiltonian defined as the exact Hamiltonian plus small parts which ‘‘turn off’’ nonclassical processes such as barrier reflection and barrier tunne...

this article is a study on the religious approach of pre-safavid iranian muslim miniaturists to female depiction based on quranic verses and other religious narratives. this article is to find the way of visual reflecting female admired qualifications based on islam view at original and novel miniatures. assuming that mentioned visual reflection is based on quranic and religious narratives or h...

©2004, IS&T—The Society for Imaging Science and Technology Spoonhower3 have extended the Williams–Clapper model to any refractive index of the coating and for any angular measurement geometry including the integrating sphere geometry. Most printed colors are produced by halftoning, where the ink is distributed on the paper as little ink dots according to given nominal coverage values. Simple mo...

We present a convolutional approach to reflection symmetry detection in 2D. Our model, built on the products of complex-valued wavelet convolutions, simplifies previous edgebased pairwise methods. Being parameter-centered, as opposed to feature-centered, it has certain computational advantages when the object sizes are known a priori, as demonstrated in an ellipse detection application. The met...

In this paper we present an approach which enables both reflection on the student’s own line of reasoning and active learning. We combine the categorisation of the student answer against the expert domain knowledge, a hinting process that engages the student in actively reflecting upon his reasoning in relation to the experts reasoning, and clarification subdialogues in natural language initiat...

Previous studies have found that the durations of fear-relevant stimuli were overestimated compared to those of neutral stimuli, even when the fear-relevant stimuli were only anticipated. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of the predictability of fear-relevant stimuli on sub-second temporal estimations. In Experiments 1a and 1b, a randomized design was employed to render the emo...
