We try to understand the basics of human image processing from a gist recognition per7 spective. Because the gist is only a subset of the image’s information, we think that it is extracted with help of interpretation (feedback). In a perceptual section we list possible mech9 anisms that the interpretation process uses to determine the gist: in addition to the commonly known local-to-global perc...

As a graduate student, I learned to question assumptions. Michael Barbour taught us to challenge the assumption that we could ever really know the "native" condition of California. Marcel Rejmánek taught me to ask, "Is your invasives problem truly growing over time, or does it just look that way because you are doing a better job of measuring it?" These questions underlie my develop­ ment of mo...

The stepwise development of a program using reene-ment requires that the original abstract speciication is realisable, i.e., an implementation exists with identical functionality. In some situations, this may not be desirable or even possible, and an ideal speciication which is only approximated by the nal implementation is used. For these speciications, an informal step, based on the developer...

the perform type of the monopoly enterprises are diversified, which is caused due to combined action of multiple effects. The interactive performance between “gene type” and environment of the monopoly enterprises is one critical part. Accurate definition can assist to speed up expected benefits of the monopoly enterprises’ reform and construct the salary incentive mechanism of the monopoly ent...

The Z Z(N) center symmetry plays an important role in the deconfine-ment phase transition of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature. The exceptional group G(2) is the smallest simply connected gauge group with a trivial center. Hence, there is no symmetry reason why the low-and high-temperature regimes in G(2) Yang-Mills theory should be separated by a phase transition. Still, we present...

Progenitor Leydig cells are derived from stem cells. The proliferation and differentiation of progenitor Leydig cells significantly contributes to Leydig cell number during puberty. However, the regulation of these processes remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to determine whether luteinizing hormone (LH) or androgen contributes to the proliferation and differentiation of pr...

A hidegháborút követően a megváltozott biztonsági kihívásoknak megfelelően különleges jogrendek szabályozásába is új esetek kerültek be. E Magyar Honvédség feladatrendszere átalakuláson ment át, amivel párhuzamosan tartalékos rendszer átformálódott.

We deene a compositional labelled transition system semantics for statecharts via a translation into a new process language called SP. The main novelty of the language is an operator of process reene-ment, which reeects the statecharts hierarchical structure. The translation agrees with Pnueli and Shalev semantics of statecharts. However, since the language is parametric in the set of basic act...

This paper presents a system for rendering very large collections of randomly parameterized plants while generating manageable scene geometries for rendering A given botanical description of a plant is compiled into a hierarchical volume approxima tion This is then integrated into a multiresolution rendering system that uses adaptive volume re ne ment For objects that are close to the viewer ex...

This article discusses entanglement between two subsystems, one with discrete degrees of freedom and the other with continuous degrees of freedom. The overlap integral between continuous variable wave functions emerges as an important parameter to characterize this kind entangle-ment. " Beam-like " entanglement and " shape-like " entanglement are contrasted. One example of this kind of entangle...
