in a profoundly impressive verse in shahnameh, sky is likened to red ruby. the present paper is attempted to probe into the background of the conventional belief regarding the relationship between sky and stone, for the semantic structure of the verse is composed in such a way that it is not possible to consider this relationship as being a conceptualistic viewpoint so that one may establish so...

A total lunar eclipse is conjectured to have influence on the physical conditions of an environmental area, particularly on the brightness of the sky. The phenomenon might also be relevant on weather parameters change on Earth, such as temperature, humidity and pressure, though a straightforward correlation is not easy to establish. This work mainly aims at measuring the brightness of the sky a...

Some of non-manual signals (NMS’s) are considered to be functioning as grammatical markers in JSL. To describe NMS’s of Japanese Sign Language (JSL), we have developed a notational system that we named sIGNDEX Ver.2. We code NMS’s which appear in 100 elicited utterances with this system. We analyze the data thus coded and find frequency of each NMS. Our analysis makes it clear what NMS’s are fr...

This proposal seeks to utilize analytics on student demographics and grade records in combination with data on their performance in the GenEd NMS class G131 “Oceans and Our Global Environment” to assess how performance in the class and its range of assignments may be related to specific student characteristics. The project is structured to examine such connections by testing six specific hypoth...

Over the last four years, Nepal’s political ‘transition’ has dominated public debate on social, cultural and political issues in the new republic. However, although the term ‘transition’ has been applied loosely when referring to many elements of political and social change which have occurred in the wake of the Jana Andolan II and the end of the People’s War, what exactly does this transition ...

Daylight availability and sky luminance distributions vary spatially and temporally depending on geography, weather, and other local conditions. Substantial amount of data is accumulated from long term measurements in various parts of the world (Kitler et al. 1992) through sky scanners. These devices (such as the Krochmann sky scanner) typically measure luminance at 145 points. The accumulated ...

Abstract In recent years, image defogging has become a research hotspot in the field of digital processing. Through enhancement processing, visual quality foggy images can be significantly improved, and it is also an important part subsequent To overcome limitations traditional dehazing, algorithm for with sky based on segmentation proposed. Firstly, K-means clustering feature analysis, region ...

The management of grid is differing from that of individual system and current Internet. A novel model on network management--Dynamically Constructed Network Management (DCNM) is proposed. Maybe it could give a good suggestion to management on grid. The network services and applications are treated as “soft equipment” managed by the NMS thus all the resources in the network can be managed under...

We develop a new method for estimating and removing the spectrum of the sky from deep spectroscopic observations. Our method does not rely on simultaneous measurement of the sky spectrum with the object spectrum. The technique is based on the iterative subtraction of continuum estimates and eigenvector sky models derived from singular value decompositions of sky spectra and sky spectra residual...
