Albert Camus – Novelist and Philosopher for Our Time

Albert Einstein as a Philosopher of Science

© 2005 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0512-010-9 N explicit engagement with the philosophy of science plays almost no role in the training of physicists or in physics research. What little the student learns about philosophical issues is typically learned casually, by a kind of intellectual osmosis. One picks up ideas and opinions in the lecture hall, in the laboratory, and in colla...

Prosody and punctuation in the stranger by Albert Camus

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the results of a study concerning the prosodic interpretation of punctuation. The focus is placed on the two most common punctuation marks, that is to say, full stops and commas. The findings are based on a comparison between The Stranger by Albert Camus the way it is published as a book and the way it is read out by its author in two French ra...

CAMUS DB for Amino Acid Sequence Data

DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank International Nucleotide Sequence Database is still increasing, keeping doubling time only slightly longer than one year for the last these years. This situation affects the increase of DDBJ Amino acid sequence Database (DAD) [4], which is made from translation of nucleotide sequences in CDS regions annotated in DDBJ [3], and makes computation time for homology search of DAD l...

FPGA Implementation of Camus Correlation Optical Flow Algorithm for Real Time Images

This document describes a FPGA implementation of an optical flow correlation based detection method which is very fast (with low accuracy) and allows near real time applications (6 frames/second) on standard computing hardware. It manages the motion estimation problem with a speed restriction, obtained from an image down sample process, that yields image speeds less than one pixel per frame. Th...
