Triangle strips are a widely used hardware-supported data-structure to compactly represent and efficiently render polygonal meshes. In this paper we survey the efficient generation of triangle strips as well as their variants. We present efficient algorithms for partitioning polygonal meshes into triangle strips. Triangle strips have traditionally used a buffer size of two vertices. In this pap...

We introduce and analyse a theory of finitely stratified general inductive definitions over the natural numbers, SID<ω, and establish its proof-theoretic ordinal, φε0(0). The definition of SID<ω bears some similarities with D. Leivant’s ramified theories for finitary inductive definitions.

The most common protocols for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) like TMAC, SMAC, ZigBee MAC, Baseline MAC protocols are analyzed in this work to evaluate the effect of various transmitted output power of nodes. When WBAN is used in patient monitoring, the analysis is required up to a great extent. In critical cases very high traffic load and accuracy of received packets is required while in nor...

We re-examine the theoretical concept of a production function for cognitive achievement, and argue that an indirect production function that depends upon the variables that constrain parents’ choices is both more tractable from an econometric point of view, and more interesting from an economic point of view than is a direct production function that depends upon a detailed list of direct input...

Pragmatic theories and computational models of reference must account for people's frequent use redundant color adjectives (e.g., referring to a single triangle as the blue triangle). The standard pragmatic view holds that informativity referential expression depends on contrast: Color should be used contrast competitors same kind preempt an ambiguity between several triangles different colors)...

Transcription repression by the basic region-helix-loop-helix-zipper (bHLHZip) protein Mad1 requires DNA binding as a ternary complex with Max and mSin3A or mSin3B, the mammalian orthologs of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptional corepressor SIN3. The interaction between Mad1 and mSin3 is mediated by three potential amphipathic alpha-helices: one in the N terminus of Mad (mSin interactio...

background considering the effect of human right observance on patients’ satisfaction from the treatment process, in iran the patient rights charter (prc) was developed by the ministry of health and medical education (mohme) in 2001 and enforced to all hospitals across the country. the purpose of the current study was to evaluate patients’ awareness of their rights based on prc in two tertiary ...

We are developing a multilingual machine translation system to provide foreign tourists with a multilingual speech translation service in the Winter Olympic Games that will be held in Korea in 2018. For a knowledge learning to make the multilingual expansibility possible, we needed large bilingual corpus. In Korea there were a lot of Korean-English bilingual corpus, but Korean-French bilingual ...
