Rhetorical shadows: The conceptual representation of incongruent shadows

Induction The dance of shadows

Statistics stems out from induction. Induction is a long lasting notion in philosophy. The nature of notions in philosophy are such that neither they can be solved completely nor one can leave them forever. One of the most important problem in induction is “the problem of induction”. In this paper we give a short history of induction and discuss some aspects of the problem of induction.  

Shadows.

We investigate the brightness distribution in and around outdoor shadows (for a variety of sky conditions) using modeling and field measurements. The dominant factor influencing the brightness of a shadow is the solid angle subtended by the object blocking the Sun. Occulters at the zenith that subtend a small solid angle cast shadows that are bright and possess a nearly uniform brightness acros...

Since that time it has fallen upon a member of this staff to welcome those students who have commenced their first year in the clinical branches of medicine. This year it is my privilege and honour to address and welcome you on behalf of the medical and dental staff of thi...

Geometry of Real Time Shadows Geometry of Real Time Shadows

Shadows provide important visual hints about the spatial relationship between objects. Shadow volumes are one way to generate sophisticated shadows for use in real time environments. This paper focuses on the geometric aspects which are involved in the creation of the shadow volume. Speed up techniques like shaders and dual space approaches for silhouette determination are discussed. Finally th...
