d for more than three thousand years, Chinese painting emphasizes "implicit meaning", and painters’ using a minimal number of brush strokes to express their deepest feelings. Landscapes of the most important themes in Chinese painting. Trees are the essential painting objects. This resents a set of novel methods to automatically draw trees in Chinese ink painting from 3D al models. Outline rend...

The technique of chromosome-in-situ suppression (CISS)-hybridization (chromosome painting) has now been well established. However, all standard protocols so far require long renaturation times (typically 12 hours and more). Here, we describe a new, extremely fast protocol for chromosome painting using a commercially available, directly fluorescence labelled probe for chromosome 8. The hybridiza...

In previous articles, the author proposed that paintings can have syntactic rules. In this article he develops his proposal further and shows that shapes act as syntactic elements in the languages of painting styles. He meets Nelson Goodman's objections to his proposal by showing that shapes meet the criterion of syntactic discreteness proposed by the latter to separate linguistic from other sy...

We present an algorithm for generating automatically stereoscopic paintings with varying levels of detail. We describe our interactive system built around the algorithm to enable users to adjust the level of detail of the painting. In this context of interactivity we have modified our stereo painting algorithm, presented in previous work, in order to explore the idea of user-driven artistic lev...

OBJECTIVE The authors describe a method, termed array painting, which allows the rapid, high resolution analysis of the content and breakpoints of aberrant chromosomes. METHODS Array painting is similar in concept to reverse chromosome painting and involves the hybridisation of probes generated by PCR of small numbers of flow sorted chromosomes on large insert genomic clone DNA microarrays. ...

OBJECTIVE Lock and key factory workers are under the risk of metal pneumoconiosis and occupational asthma. In this cross-sectional study, it's aimed to evaluate the relationship between metal dust exposure and respiratory symptoms, pulmonary function tests of workers in different section of lock and key factory. METHODS 54 male workers (mean age, 32.8 ± 5.4) in a security and safety products ...

With virtual reality, digital painting on 2D canvases is now being extended to 3D spaces. Tilt Brush and Oculus Quill are widely accepted among artists as tools that pave the way to a new form of art 3D emmersive painting. Current 3D painting systems are only a start, emitting textured triangular geometries. In this paper, we advance this new art of 3D painting to 3D volumetric painting that en...

Many old paintings suffer from the effects of certain physicochemical phenomena, that can seriously degrade their overall visual appearance.Digital image processing techniques can be utilized for the purpose of restoring the original appearance of a painting, with minimal physical interaction with the painting surface. In this paper, a number of methods are presented which can yield satisfactor...

House painters are a group of construction workers that commonly develop shoulder musculoskeletal disorders (Stenlund et. al., 2002). A specific disorder typically incurred by these tradesmen is supraspinatus tendonitis. Information regarding shoulder loading during ceiling painting is available. However, no comparable data sets exist for wall painting. Even less information is available on the...
