Departures from a regular texture pattern can happen in many di erent dimensions. Previous related work has focused on faithful texture synthesis for near-regular texture departing along the color and intensity axes while the underlying geometric regularity is well preserved. In this paper, we address the issue of faithful texture synthesis for textures that have both the structural and color/i...

The form of the wavefunction $ for a semiclassical regular quantum state (associated with classical motion on an N-dimensional torus in the 2N-dimensional phase space) is very different from the form of + for an irregular state (associated with stochastic classical motion on all or part of the (2N1)-dimensional energy surface in phase space). For regular states the local average probability den...

in the process of structural analysis we often come to structures that can be analyzed with simpler methods than the standard approaches. for these structures, known as regular structures, the matrices involved are in canonical forms and their eigen-solution can be performed in a simple manner. however, by adding or removing some elements or nodes, such methods cannot be utilized. here, an effi...

We propose that spatial inferences made during planning and executing a route influence the learning of relative locations through wayfinding. In Experiment 1, separate and combined route plans were compared. The results suggest that inferring multiple directions during the initial stage of planning leads to more accurate representations of relative locations than planning a single route. In Ex...

field observations of the incurred damages to the buildings and bridges due to earthquakes in near field show there are various failure modes which are in relation to the forces caused by vertical component. while vertical component of earthquake for ordinary buildings in most seismic regulations and standards is not considered. therefore, in the current study the effects of vertical and horizo...
