It's a wrap

That ’ s a wrap !

Calibration technology provides us with a fast and elegant way to find the supergravity solutions for BPS wrapped M-branes. Its true potential had however remained untapped due to the absence of a classification of calibrations in spacetimes with non-trivial flux. The applications of this method were thus limited in practise to M-branes wrapping Kahler calibrated cycles. In this paper, we catag...

Wrap Shading

Shading models that wrap around the hemisphere have been used to approximate subsurface scattering, area light sources, and softer reflectance profiles. We generalize a specific technique that has been used in games by parameterizing the amount of wraping while retaining important mathematical properties. We include details on how to incorporate theses models with spherical harmonic lighting. 1...

Wrap - Up : a Trainable DiscourseModule

The vast amounts of on-line text now available have led to renewed interest in Information Extraction (IE) systems that analyze unrestricted text, producing a structured representation of selected information from the text. This paper presents a novel approach that uses machine learning to acquire knowledge for some of the higher level IE processing. Wrap-Up is a trainable IE discourse componen...

Wrap-up Discussion

The unifying theme of the conference has been that the inflationary effects associated with changes in commodity prices depend on the more fundamental shocks that drive commodity prices. Moreover, since changes in prices of oil and other commodities are relative price shocks they do not cause inflation. In contrast, central banks can cause inflation and they respond to real shocks, so it is nec...
