James Turrell: The Art of Light and Space

The Art of Light and Space" is the first major overview of one of the most independent and accomplished artists of our time. For the benefit of art historians, artists, and the general reader, Craig Adcock examines, with the support of many illustrations, the full range of James Turrell's life and art. He gives special attention to the artist's fashioning of light and space to create works of great contemplative beauty, intellectual depth, and technical sophistication. Adcock explains how Turrell's work has developed to address the very nature of visual perceptionits wonders and its limitations. Presented in the context of developments in contemporary art since the 1960s, Turrell's non-object pieces, his light projections and large-scale installations, and his monumental work-in-progressthe Roden Crater projecttake on a significance and integrity that have not previously been fully revealed. Turrell's work has been collected and exhibited widely, and he has received a number of important grants including the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Prize. "
Prevenção e controle do dengue: uma revisão de estudos sobre conhecimentos, crenças e práticas da população

This article aims to contribute to dengue control programs through a review of recent studies on knowledge, beliefs, and practices concerning dengue and dengue prevention. The results show that adequate knowledge of dengue and prevention methods are found in close association with high rates of domiciliary infestation by Aedes aegypti. This suggests that traditional education strategies, although efficient in transmitting information, have failed to change population behavior. Qualitative studies reveal two important issues that appear to explain these attitudes: representations of dengue and risks associated with mosquitoes and difficulties in avoiding infestation of household water recipients due to sanitation problems in communities.
How a cognitive tutor can improve pilot knowledge of mode transitions

The behavior of a modern autopilot is governed by a set of rules. Several researchers have demonstrated that pilots have gaps in their knowledge of these rules and have difficulty explaining and predicting the behavior of the autopilot. Apart from the absence of training and cockpit annunciations, natural cognitive mechanisms cause pilots to forget (due to infrequent use) and simplify (due to similarities) the rules of behavior. This paper describes how a cognitive tutor can counteract the cognitive mechanisms that forget conditions and simplify rules.
Notes on Barbecued Opakapaka: Ontology in Preposition Patterns

The development of patterns in the Pattern Dictionary of English Prepositions (PDEP) is a fraught process, since it is not clear just what should be included. At a minimum, preposition behavior requires a specification of the complement (the preposition object) and the governor (the point of attachment). In general, it would seem that the complement can be characterized by an ontological category. This is less the case for the governor, since in addition to modifying a noun, a prepositional phrase can be attached to verb or adjectives. PDEP has assembled a corpus of 47,285 sentences for 304 single-word and phrasal prepositions and has tagged the instances with 1015 senses. These sentences have been parsed with a dependency parser and extracted about 3500 features for each sentence. SVM models have been developed for the polysemous prepositions and the features are being analyzed in depth. This paper describes many of the factors under analysis.
On the design of 2-band FIR QMF filter banks using WLS technique

In the digital filter bank context, many design methods have been proposed. Most of them are for 2-band QMF FIR filter banks. The paper considers the design of (QMF) quadrature mirror filter banks using the iterative method proposed by Chang-Kann Chen and Ju-Hong Lee (1992). Simulations show that the Chen and Lee method needs much iteration. It was examined and improved by using certain modifications based on the weighted least squares (WLS) updating scheme proposed by S. Sunder et al. (1994) to design two channel QMF filter banks. As the current weighting function is adjusted from iteration to iteration, QMF bank design with equiripple reconstruction error and stopband error can be achieved. Computer simulation shows that the proposed approach produced better results than those reported previously by author Chen and Lee. The paper concludes with design examples that illustrate the effectiveness of the approach on the efficiency and performance. Furthermore, the proposed approach requires less iterations compared with existing methods and leads to filter bank design with improved performance. The resultant filter banks are efficient in terms of computational requirements.
Improving the computational performance of standard GMM-based voice conversion systems used in real-time applications

Voice conversion (VC) can be described as finding a mapping function which transforms the features extracted from a source speaker to those of a target speaker. Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based conversion is the most commonly used technique in VC, but is often sensitive to overfitting and oversmoothing. To address these issues, we propose a secondary classification by applying a K-means classification in each class obtained by a primary classification in order to obtain more precise local conversion functions. This proposal avoids the need for complex training algorithms because the local mapping functions are determined at the same time. The proposed approach consists of a Fourier cepstral analysis, followed by a training phase in order to find the local mapping functions which transform the vocal tract characteristics of the source speaker into those of the target speaker. The converted parameters together with excitation and phase extracted from the target training space using a frame index selection are used in the synthesis step to generate a converted speech with target speech characteristics. Objective and subjective experiments prove that the proposed technique outperforms the baseline GMM approach while greatly reducing the training and transformation computation times.
Human skeleton proportions recovery from monocular data

This paper introduces a novel method for recovering the skeleton proportions for a human figure from monocular data. A perspective camera model is defined semi-automatically based on the user's judgment. In the proposed method, key frames are first extracted from the source data automatically. A human skeleton model is then constructed to match all key frames under the established camera. An advantage of the proposed method is that no human posture validation is needed during the modeling process. The proposed method is tested to propose satisfactory results for some input data. The human model with recovered proportions can be used in further research involving body reconstruction or human motion reconstruction.
Comforting the confused

Kathleen E. Barry, BA, is Research Assistant, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida. to say that we don't realize that nonverbal communication, communication without words, is also a very powerful way to communicate with others. In fact, mimes use nonverbal communication exclusively to convey a story. Another good example of nonverbal communication can be found in television. Lots of action shows have very little dialogue-just dramatic music and plenty of activity, with very few words. In order to understand the power of nonverbal communication, you can simply turn off the sound on your favorite program and you will probably be able to follow the story very well. How? The actor's facial expresssions, eye contact, posture, and gestures will convey a very great amount of information. In fact, the major elements of nonverbal communication are as follows:

A Stylised Cartoon Renderer For Toon Shading Of 3D Character

This thesis describes two new techniques for enhancing the rendering quality of cartoon characters in toon-shading applications. The proposed methods can be used to improve the output quality of current cel shaders. The first technique which uses 2D image-based algorithms, enhances the silhouettes of the input geometry and reduces the computer generated artefacts. The silhouettes are found by using the Sobel filter and reconstructed by Bezier curve fitting. The intensity of the reconstructed silhouettes is then modified to create a stylised appearance. In the second technique, a new hair model based on billboarded particles is introduced. This method is found to be particularly useful for generating toon-like specular highlights for hair, which are important in cartoon animations. The whole rendering framework is implemented in C++ using the OpenGL API. OpenGL extensions and GPU programming are used to take the advantage of the functionalities of currently available graphics hardware. The programming of graphics hardware is done using Cg, a high level shader language.

A reconfigurable data-driven multiprocessor architecture for rapid prototyping of high throughput DSP algorithms

A data-driven multiprocessor architecture for the rapid prototyping of complex DSP algorithms, based on direct execution of data-flow graphs, is presented. High computation bandwidth is achieved by exploiting the fine-grain parallelism inherent in the target algorithms using simple processing elements called nanoprocessors interconnected by a configurable static communication network. The use of distributed control and the data-driven execution approach resulted in a highly scalable and modular architecture. A prototype chip, which is currently being designed, contains 64 nanoprocessors, 1 kByte of memory in four banks and eight 16-bit I/O ports, and provides 3.2 GOPS peak when running at 50 MHz. The benchmark results, based on a variety of DSP algorithms in video processing, digital communication, digital filtering and speech recognition, confirm the performance efficiency and generality of the architecture. <<ETX>>
Ontología sobre economía y recuperación de información

Cuando se habla de recuperación de información (desde ahora RI), podemos referirnos a técnicas distintas para objetivos bien diversos. Los lingüistas, como la mayoría de científicos, somos usuarios privilegiados de muchas de estas técnicas, pero nuestra participación en proyectos de investigación y desarrollo en RI no suele ser tan numerosa como la de documentalistas e informáticos. Las razones hay que buscarlas básicamente en dos constataciones: 1) La mayoría de sistemas de RI tienen por objetivo la recuperación de documentos o la clasificación automática de documentos; y 2) las técnicas matemáticas se han revelado altamente rentables en la ratio de eficacia frente a costes. Todo método independiente de lenguas y de temáticas, si sus resultados en precisión y cobertura (recall) son suficientemente positivos, será preferible a otras, sobre todo para operar con grandes volúmenes de datos.
