● More than 1 in 5 architects was self-employed—about three times the proportion for all professional and related occupations. ● Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, a period of practical training, and passing all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. ● Architecture graduates may face competition, especially for jobs in the most prestigious firms;...

In many point-line geometries, to cover all points except one, more lines are needed than to cover all points. Bounds can be given by looking at the dimension of the space of functions induced by polynomials of bounded degree.

Colorimetry is limited to image data from a single pixel. Measures of errors between an “original” and a “reproduction” are usually described as the distance between the two values of a pixel in a colorimetric three-dimensional space. Human color constancy uses spatial comparisons between different parts of the image. The relationships among neighboring pixels are far more important than the ab...

We describe the application to the Technicon SMAC system of a micellar-improved calmagite method for the measurement of magnesium. In this continuous-flow method a dialyzer is not needed, because protein interference is negligible. Sample interaction was estimated to be 3%. The increased sensitivity of the method allows for a small sample volume (37 microL/min). Results obtained agreed well wit...

in this study the factors controlling the software colorimetry (photoshop), including illumination (direct and indirect), image background (white and black), camera settings (zoom, light, resolution and environmental conditions) and the conversion equations of r, g, b images to l *, a *, b *, compared with the results of the device were investigated and optimized. the results showed that the fa...

This colorimetric method for determination of zinc in seminal liquid is based on the reaction between zinc and 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol in a buffered solution at pH 9.5. It is very simple, fast (approximately equal to 10 min), and economical. It can be used to determine zinc in "whole" semen, seminal plasma, or isolated spermatozoa. We verified its accuracy for sample concentrations up to 0.4...
