Within the history of modernity, tragic shape and ethical concerns Antigone myth have made it a touchstone for understanding contemporary cultural political realities. This essay traces modernist processes adaptation, citation, displacement, revision that often characterised relations between filmmakers this phenomenon. Focussing in particular on those films subvert authority narrative realism ...

A class of boundary conditions for canonical general relativity are proposed and studied at the quasi-local level. It is shown that for untrapped or marginal surfaces, fixing the area element on the 2-surface (rather than the induced 2-metric) and the angular momentum surface density is enough to have a functionally differentiable Hamiltonian, thus providing definition of conserved quantities f...

Academics and researchers face a challenge of making sense of the role e-democracy plays in the democratic process and with what implications. This requires a deeper understanding of the objectives and assumptions that underpin e-democracy innovations, as well as institutional and technology structures that condition their role in democratic engagement. This paper interprets case study data col...

-Texture classification is a major issue in image analysis and pattern recognition. A number of methods are proposed in the literature including Local Binary Pattern (LBP). The LBP variant (s) plays an active role to extract texture features for texture classification. These are rotation invariant, noise sensitive or noise insensitive mehods. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages...

This paper presents a new deformable model using both population-based and patient-specific shape statistics to segment lung fields from serial chest radiographs. First, a modified scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) local descriptor is used to characterize the image features in the vicinity of each pixel, so that the deformable model deforms in a way that seeks for the region with similar...
