The parimod system is a Transputer based graphics system with an additional interactive solid modeling tool for fast rendering of arbitrary 3-dimensional scenes. It consists of an input tool, a calculation and an output unit which are independent of each other so that each of them is replaceable if changes in hard or software come through. The input unit is a X based solid modeling tool allowin...

introduction: we hypothesized that inappropriate attention during the period of abstinence in individuals with substance use disorder can result in an inadequate perception of emotion and unsuitable reaction to emotional scenes. the main aim of this research was to evaluate the attentional bias towards emotional images in former substance abusers and compare it to healthy adults. methods: paire...

Space Interaction Discourse Oskar Juhlin & Alexandra Weilenmann Titel: On movement, sound and radio talk in deer hunting Recently, there has been an increase in studies focusing on naturally occurring mobile activities. In this paper, we add to this growing body of work, by presenting a study of a highly mobile activity deer hunting. Deer hunting is a collaborative activity with a number of dif...

Inspired by the drawings of “impossible” objects by artists such as M.C. Escher, we describe a mathematical theory which captures some of the underlying principles of their work. Using this theory, we show how impossible three-dimensional scenes may be modeled and rendered synthetically.

Chimpanzee hunting provides information on prey characteristics and constraints acting on a large-bodied primate lacking a hunting technology, and has important implications for modeling hunting by fossil hominids. Analysis of the remains of five red colobus monkeys captured and consumed by Gombe chimpanzees in a single hunting bout provides one of the first opportunities to investigate the cha...

Various fossil evidences show that hunting is one of major means of ancient human to get foods [1-3]. But our ancestors' running speed was much slower than quadruped animals, and they did not have sharp claws and canines. So, they have to rely heavily on stone and wooden tools when they hunting or fighting against other predators, which are very different from the hunting behaviors of other car...

This paper utilizes recent optimization algorithm called Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) for optimal design of skeletal structures. The ALO is based on the hunting mechanism of Antlions in nature. The random walk of ants, building traps, entrapment of ants in traps, catching preys, and re-building traps are main steps for this algorithm. The new algorithm is examined by designing three truss and frame...

To view brain activity in register with visual stimuli, a technique here referred to as "retinotopic projection," which translates functional measurements into retinotopic space, is employed. Retinotopic projection is here first applied to a previously acquired fMRI dataset in which a large set of grayscale photos of real scenes were presented to three subjects. A simple model of local contrast...

Odontoma is the most frequent odontogenic gnathic tumor, which is considered to be a hamartomatous lesion rather than an actual odontogenic tumor. Odontoma is basically composed of enamel and dentin, while it could also have various contents of cementum and pulp tissue. These lesions may manifest in two specific forms, including the compound type with multiple, small, tooth-like structures and ...
