Physics in Masaaki Yuasa’s Films: Space-Time Light and Shadow

Light Space Perspective Shadow Maps

In this paper, we present a new shadow mapping technique that improves upon the quality of perspective and uniform shadow maps. Our technique uses a perspective transform specified in light space which allows treating all lights as directional lights and does not change the direction of the light sources. This gives all the benefits of the perspective mapping but avoids the problems inherent in...

Time Series Data Analyses in Space Physics

Techniques of time series data analyses developed over the past decades are reviewed. We discuss the theoretical principles and mathematical descriptions of these analytical techniques that have been developed by scientists with different backgrounds and perspectives. These principles not only provide the guidelines to evaluate each particular technique but also point to directions for the deve...

: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type

abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...

Space and Time in Computation and Discrete Physics

A step can be regarded as an elementary ordering of two objects (or operators). A step is a distinction combined with an action that crosses the boundary of that distinction. The elementary step can be seen as a reference, as a division of space or as a tick of a clock. By looking at the structure of a step, we provide a context that unifies specific aspects of special relativity, Laws of Form,...
