Occupational Exposure as a Painter

Paint is a suspension of finely divided pigment particles in a liquid composed of a binder (resin), a volatile solvent or water, and additives that impart special characteristics. The volatile components evaporate from the drying film after application, while the binder holds the pigment in the dry film, causing it to adhere to the substrate. Some high quality, hard gloss paints are referred to...

How a painter paints

Drawing from the seminal definition of the principles of abstract art posed by Wassily Kandinsky in the early years of the twentieth century, and contextualizing that knowledge in contemporary cognitive metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999), the study attempts to arrive at an understanding of how cognitive structure emerges in pragmatic self-observation during the artistic process. Through a...

Proper colouring Painter-Builder game

We consider the following two-player game, parametrised by positive integers n and k. The game is played between Painter and Builder, alternately taking turns, with Painter moving first. The game starts with the empty graph on n vertices. In each round Painter colours a vertex of her choice by one of the k colours and Builder adds an edge between two previously unconnected vertices. Both player...

Vector Pascal

Vector Pascal is a language designed to support elegant and efficient expression of algorithms using the SIMD model of computation. It imports into Pascal features derived from the functional languages APL and J, in particular the extension of all operators to work on vectors of data. The type system is extended to handle dimensional analysis. Code generation is via the ILCG system that allows ...
