Currently, the dominant paradigms of programming user interfaces (UIs) regard the UI as a collection of objects with lifetimes, to be created, connected, constrained, made to handle events, and so forth. A simpler and older paradigm is that the UI is painted, repeatedly, as if on a blank window. Dynamic Dialogs(DD) are UIs programmed as if they were only painted, without regard to underlying UI...

TIP (Tour Into the Picture) was introduced by Horry et al. HAA97]. Given only one picture, a viewer can tour into the scene as painted on the picture. Based on our implementation of TIP, we noticed a problem: the visual quality drops drastically when the viewpoint tours into the scene. It contradicted the real world experience. We addressed this problem by introducing the use of multiresolution...

Dendrochronological analysis was carried out for 13 historic icons from the collection of the Museum of the Folk Building in Sanok, painted on fir and spruce boards. Eleven sequences of the annual growth rings produced from the analysed fir boards were absolutely dated against the fir dendrochronological standard for S Poland, constructed by E. Szychowska-Krąpiec. Most of the analysed objects d...

The potential utility of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a means to detect biological contaminants on painted surfaces is investigated. Issues involving the use of LIBS for detection of biologicals are discussed. The apparatus assembled for this work is described, as is the manner in which samples of bare copper and painted substrates onto which thin layers of bacterial spores, p...
