Visualization of TINs

Geographic information systems often represent terrains, or other height elds, by triangulated irregular networks (TINs). The visualization of TINs is therefore a task any GIS has to be able to perform. This survey paper discusses two aspects of this task: the hidden-surface removal problem, which is to determine which parts of the TIN are visible from a given view point, and the computation of...

TINS -January 1983 Hermann Helmholtz and origins of sensory physiology

The role of great men, according to the historian Burckhardt, is to pry loose the collective thinking from empty chatter and repetition of outmoded viewpoints. Medical science in central Europe in the middle of the last century was ready for great men. For while the Enlightenment and the Napoleonic era had cleared centuries of political and intellectual cobwebs, restorative forces had made sign...

Lingual articulation in songbirds.

Lingual articulation in humans is one of the primary means of vocal tract resonance filtering that produces the characteristic vowel formants of speech. In songbirds, the function of the tongue in song has not been thoroughly examined, although recent research has identified the oropharyngeal-esophageal cavity as a resonance filter that is actively tuned to the frequency of the song. In norther...

Symposium on Occlusal Articulation

Judging from the volume of writing that has appeared in the dental literature and the number of courses presented in recent years on jaw movements and articulators, it would seem that most of the questions related to this subject would have been resolved. The variety and sophistication of the research techniques employed to measure mandibular movements and positions indicate the interest and de...
