Abstract The Holocaust was one of the most photographed genocides twentieth century. Since 1945, images from liberation camps were used as shaming and shocking instruments visual denazification. Many decades later, these icons are still in educational contexts such school textbooks, exhibitions, documentaries presented almost exclusively mere illustrations not independent sources. By approachin...

We discuss the impact of the separation of logic engines (independent logic processing units) and multi-threading on the design of coordination mechanisms for a Prolog based agent infrastructure. We advocate a combination of coroutining constructs with focus on expressiveness and a simplified, multi-threading API that ensures optimal use available parallelism. In this context, native multi-thre...

A parametric approach towards modeling is advocated for skeletal reconstructions. Three-dimensional digital reconstructions are compared with conventional two-dimensional illustrations, particularly silhouette drawings. The advantages of the parametric system provided by the DinoMorph software include: open access to all data comprising the model and the rendering algorithms for the independen...

It is assumed for the Cox’s proportional hazards model that the survival times of subjects are independent. This assumption might be violated in some situations, in which the collected data are correlated. The well-known Cox model is not valid in this situation because independence assumption among individuals is violated. For this purpose Cox’s proportional hazard model is extent to the analys...

Abstract: A mathematical inverse source theory in substrate media is derived, with applications to analysis, source-synthesis and characterization of antennas embedded in substrates. The developed theory, which is based on optimization theory, and the associated computer illustrations, shed basic understanding, from first principles, of radiation enhancements due to substrates, such as reductio...

We analyze a system of conservation laws in two space dimensions with stii relaxation terms. A semi-implicit nite diierence method approximating the system is studied and an error bound of order O(p t) measured in L 1 is derived. This error bound is independent of the relaxation time > 0. Furthermore, it is proved that the solutions of the system converge towards the solutions of the equilibriu...
