Computer generated virtual humans play an important role in many 3d graphical applications, and are often used to evoke empathic responses from human users, due to their human form and behaviour. Most movie and game studios aim to produce appealing virtual characters that audiences will react to in a positive manner. However, humans are very experienced at observing the motion and appearance of...

An abundance of information regarding the structure of a finite group can be obtained by studying its irreducible characters. Of particular interest are monomial characters — those induced from a linear character of some subgroup — since Brauer has shown that any irreducible character of a group can be written as an integral linear combination of monomial characters. Our primary focus is the cl...

The macroscopical characters of the roots, physical constant values, extractive values, colour, consistency and extractive values with different solvents, behaviour on treatment with different chemical reagents, fluorescence characters of liquid extracts and root powder after treatment with different chemical reagents under ultraviolet light of the powdered roots of Tragia involucrata Linn. (Fa...

The macroscopic characters of the whole plant, physical constant values, extractive values, preliminary phyto-chemical tests, fluorescence characters under ultra-violet light after treatment with different reagents of the powdered leaves form the tree of Adansonia digitata linn., [Bombacaceae] were studied to fix some pharmacognostical parameters. Preliminary phytochemical screening on the meth...

The macroscopic characters of the whole plant, physical constant values, extractive values, behavior on treatment with different chemical reagents, fluorescence characters under ultra violet light after treatment with different reagents of the powered entire plant of Cleome viscose Linn.(Capparidaceae) were studied to fix some pharmacognostical parameters. Preliminary phytochemical screening on...

To outsiders, it might seem natural—obvious, even—that you could use physics to make animated characters move in games and movies. The surprising fact is that physics-based characters have never been very successful in production. However, over the last few years, physicsbased character animation has been experiencing tremendous growth and a great deal of attention in computer graphics research...

Pharmacognostical parameters for the leaves of Tridax procumbens L were studied with the aim of drawing the pharmacopoeial standards for this species. Macroscopical and microscopical characters, physico-chemical constants, extractive values, fluorescence analysis of dry powder and its reaction after treatment with chemical reagents under visible light and UV light at 254 nm and 366 nm were stud...

The Unicode Standard [UNICODE], and ISO/IEC 10646 [ISO-10646] jointly define a character set (hereafter referred to as Unicode) which encompasses most of the world’s writing systems. UTF-16, the object of this specification, is an encoding scheme of this character set that has the characteristics of encoding the vast majority of currently-defined characters in exactly two octets and of being ab...

Lifelike characters are one of the most exciting technologies for human– computer interface applications. They convincingly take the roles of virtual presen-ters, synthetic actors and sales personas, teammates and tutors. A common characteristic underlying their believability or life-likeness as conversational partners is computational models that provide them with affective functions such as s...

Several image mosaicing algorithms claiming to advance the state of the art have been proposed so far. Though sometimes improvements can be recognised without quantitative evidences, the importance of a principled methodology to compare different algorithms is essential as this discipline evolves. Which is the best? What means the best? How to ascertain the supremacy? To answer such questions, ...
