Abstract

This paper suggests a novel form of audiovisual performancelive writingthat transforms creative writing into a realtime performing art. The process of typing a poem on the fly is captured and augmented to create an audiovisual performance that establishes natural links among the components of typing gestures, the poem being written on the fly, and audiovisual artifacts.

Prior research exploring differing behaviours and their association to constructs such as epistemic cognition has used ‘multiple document processin...

BACKGROUND Harold Jeghers, a well-known medical educator of the twentieth century, maintained a print collection of about one million medical articles from the late 1800s to the 1990s. This case study discusses how a print collection of these articles was transformed to a digital database. CASE PRESENTATION Staff in the Jeghers Medical Index, St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, converted paper...

Some spatial color algorithms, such as Brownian Milano retinex (MI-retinex) and random spray retinex (RSR), are based on sampling. In Brownian MI-retinex, memoryless random walks (MRWs) explore the neighborhood of a pixel and are then used to compute its output. Considering the relative redundancy and inefficiency of MRW exploration, the algorithm RSR replaced the walks by samples of points (th...
