The study of epidemics on social networks has attracted considerable attention recently. In this paper, we consider a stochastic SIR (susceptible-->infective-->removed) model for the spread of an epidemic on a finite network, having an arbitrary but specified degree distribution, in which individuals also make casual contacts, i.e. with people chosen uniformly from the population. The behaviour...

An "infection," understood here in a very broad sense, can be propagated through the network of social contacts among individuals. These social contacts include both "close" contacts and "casual" encounters among individuals in transport, leisure, shopping, etc. Knowing the first through the study of the social networks is not a difficult task, but having a clear picture of the network of casua...

Figure 1: Overview of our method. Given a casual image obtained from the Internet, and a triangle mesh model, we compute the texture mapping and shape deformation interleaving. This example uses a tiger image downloaded from the Internet with low tails, and its head face to the ground, but the model originally has straight tail in the air, and facing to the front. The output is a model not only...

Many creativity tools exist to support task-focused creativity, but in recent years we have seen a flourishing of autotelic creativity tools, which privilege the enjoyable experience of explorative creativity over taskcompletion. Because these tools are much smaller in scope, less commercially significant, and less ”serious” than their larger siblings, they have been overlooked in academic rese...
