This paper presents a physically plausible soft-shadow algorithm that can be executed real-time by current GPUs. The method works with a single shadow map, requires no preor post-processing, and can also handle self shadowing. The main novelty of the method is in the interpretation of the shadow map. A lexel with depth information is considered as the geometric definition of an elementary shado...

through-plane concomitant field phase accrual, for a phantom (squares no correction, triangles corrected) and human brain (circles no correction, diamonds corrected). Dephasing from concomitant gradient fields leads to error in ADC that increases with distance from isocenter (zS = 10cm-superior; zS = 0cm-inferior). FIG 1. Diffusion gradient timing for StejskalTanner (ST; insensitive to concomit...

1.1 Addresses, Areas and Regions We iteratively define an area A as a special subspace of a d-dimensional cube as follows: Split the cube with respect to every dimension in the middle, resulting in 2 subcubes numbered in some arbitrary but fixed order (for our implementation and this paper we used Z-ordering) from 1 to 2. An area A1 of level 1 consists of the first i1 closed subcubes. i1 determ...

We have recently identified cytokinin as an important xylem-carried signal involved in the photosynthetic acclimation of plants to light gradients in dense canopies. Lower leaves become shaded in a dense canopy and consequently have reduced transpiration rates. our measurements have shown that this results in a reduced delivery of cytokinins carried in the transpiration stream to shaded leaves,...

This study contrasted the anthocyanins of investigational grape clusters that developed without light incidence (light-excluded), to those of control clusters that were shaded naturally beneath the vine canopy (control-shaded). Treatment grape clusters were light-excluded during ripening by opaque white polypropylene enclosures; temperature, vapor pressure deficit, and light intensity were meas...
