This paper describes a setup using a surround screen environment (Extended Virtual Environment EVE dome) that we used to explore group interaction in real and virtual space. We have created a prototype framework to explore different modes of group interaction, the position and motion of users in real space are tracked using a vision-based interface that allows the activities of real crowds to b...

background: the technique of vertical dome division or tip defining, involves incising the lateral crura and vestibular skin at or lateral to the dome or tip defining point. the incision di-vides the lower lateral cartilage into a lateral segment and a medial segment, which are advanced anteriorly and sutured together to increase tip projection. the present study aimed at assessing a new vertic...

The Distributed object migration environment (Dome) addresses three major issues of distributed parallel programming: ease of use, load balancing, and fault tolerance. Dome provides process control, data distribution, communication, and synchronization for Dome programs running in a heterogeneous distributed computing environment. The parallel programmer writes a C++ program using Dome objects ...

Terrestrial impact structures are geological and geomorphological features with particular importance to understand the history and evolution of the planet. Impact structures are scattered around the world but in many countries these features are under threat, essentially due to anthropic factors. Impact structures with higher scientific value should be considered as geological heritage and, co...

Recent years have seen an increasing variety of attractive structures and building with movable functions worldwide (Ishii, 1995). Typical examples are bridges that open to allow ships to pass, revolving restaurants on tops of buildings, sliding roofs of baseball and soccer dome stadiums, and artistic monuments. When we focus on the moving behaviour of these structures, they simply move on rail...

The Malmyzh ore cluster, which was revealed in 1970–1976, is located the central part of Khabarovsk territory, on right bank Amur River. deposits are timed to Late Cretaceous intrusions that break through sedimentary formations Early Cretaceous. Mineralization controlled by intrusive dome structures.

Iranians invented squinches to cover a square-plan space with dome. Filposh, type of squinch first found in Sasanian architecture, is conical vault constructed the transition zone’s corners transmit dome’s forces and weight. This technique can be seen three halls palace Ardeshir. In this paper, geometry zone using filposh between spherical dome square supporting walls Ardeshir Palace was re-exa...

As Talmy has observed, language schematizes space; language provides a systematic framework to describe space, by selecting certain aspects of a referent scene while neglecting the others. Here, we consider the ways that space and the things in it are schematized in perception and cognition, as well as in language. We propose the Schematization Similarity Conjecture: to the extent that space is...

A non-Hermitian complex symmetric 2 × 2-matrix toy model is used to study projective Hilbert space structures in the vicinity of exceptional points (EPs). The bi-orthogonal eigenvectors of a diagonalizable matrix are Puiseuxexpanded in terms of the root vectors at the EP. It is shown that the apparent contradiction between the two incompatible normalization conditions with finite and singular b...
