Prox-regularity of a set (Poliquin-Rockafellar-Thibault, 2000), or its global version, proximal smoothness (Clarke-Stern-Wolenski, 1995) plays an important role in variational analysis, not only because it is associated with some fundamental properties as the local continuous differentiability of the function dist (C; ·), or the local uniqueness of the projection mapping, but also because in th...

The evolution of languages provides a unique opportunity to study human population history. The origin of Semitic and the nature of dispersals by Semitic-speaking populations are of great importance to our understanding of the ancient history of the Middle East and Horn of Africa. Semitic populations are associated with the oldest written languages and urban civilizations in the region, which g...

The use of georeferenced relational databases for the localisation epigraphic findings is widely attested with important examples. However, in order to propose an increasingly accurate representation information related inscriptions, some methodological issues need be highlighted and, if possible, solved. This paper will address problem place discovery inscription, which could situ or extra sit...

The paper discusses some epigraphic features of the inscription on baptismal font priest John from time Prince Viseslav end 8th and beginning 9th century points out similarities parallels between it Bishop Kotor architrave in Cathedral St. Tryphon 805. Based them, is assumed that could also be attributed to famous ?Kotor stonecarvers? workshop John?.

First edition of a Christian epitaph in Greek woman, Timothea, brought by Henry J. Anderson to the United States 1848 and now Brooklyn Museum. Analysis form text monument allows its epigraphic context be reconstructed, as part dispersed funerary assemblage northern Nubia, including distinctive textual formula wishing deceased repose “bosoms Abraham.”

Abstract The contribution illustrates the applied procedure of digital survey and documentation a funerary epigraph written in Greek but dating back to Roman period (dimensions about 31 cm x 20 cm). It comes from Velia (Salerno), then city southern Italy. was found 1967 currently represents only inscription coming, most probably, necropolis Porta Marina Sud. presents many gaps preserves part up...

We analyze the performance of deep neural architectures for extracting shape representations of binary images, and for generating low-dimensional representations of them. In particular, we focus on indexing binary images exhibiting compounds of Maya hieroglyphic signs, referred to as glyph-blocks, which constitute a very challenging dataset of arts given their visual complexity and large stylis...
