FIRST ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF OSMANIAN CASTLE IN TATARBUNARY

Castle Landenberg

In this paper we demonstrate the workflow of 3D modelling and photorealistic texture mapping based on close range imagery acquired with a mini-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and in terrestrial mode. For generation of a highly accurate 3D model, a combined photogrammetric processing of these images was required. The conducted workflow consists of the following steps: project planning, flight plan...

efl students gender and socioeconomic status: the use of politeness strategies in the first and second languages

within the components of communicative competence, a special emphasis is put on the “rules of politeness,” specifically the politeness strategies (brown and levinson, 1978) that speakers deploy when performing the request speech act. this is because the degree of imposition that making a request places upon one’s interlocutor(s) has been seen to be influenced by several factors among which, as ...

First Experiment in Sun-Synchronous Exploration

Sun-synchronous exploration is accomplished by reasoning about sunlight: where the Sun is in the sky, where and when shadows will fall, and how much power can be obtained through various courses of action. In July 2001 a solar-powered rover, named Hyperion, completed two sunsynchronous exploration experiments in the Canadian high arctic (75°N). Using knowledge of orbital mechanics, local terrai...

A First Exploration of PrologIII's Capabilities

This paper explores PrologIII’s capabilities through the study of two short but non-trivial applications that are chosen to show the advantages of constraint logic programming languages over conventional Prologs, especially for tackling combinatorial problems. The first application (manipulation of causal graphs) highlights the expressive power of the constraints on booleans and shows that cons...
