the tragedy of modern man in arthur millers world

what miller wants is a theatre of heightened consciousness. he speaks of two passions in a man, the passion to "feel" and the passion "know". he belives that we can have more of the latter. he says: drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us know more and not merely to spend our feelings. the writing of the crucible shows us that he is trying to give more heightene...

Coding of Still Pictures

In 1996, the JPEG committee began to investigate possibilities for a new still image compression standard to serve current and future applications. This initiative, which was named JPEG2000, has resulted in a comprehensive standard (ISO 15444 | ITU-T Recommendation T.800) that is being issued in six parts. Part 1, in the same vein as the JPEG baseline system, is aimed at minimal complexity and ...

Adaptive Fractal Coding of Still Pictures

This paper presents a method for lossy coding of still pictures using the theory of iterated function systems (IFS) which is a standard description for deterministic fractals. The coding concept is based on a blockwise fractal approximation of the original image by contraction mappings of itself using affine transformations which are a special case of IFSs. Data reduction is achieved by exploit...
