bronze handle, believed at 3astet holding that time to be the handle of ,t of Mrs. Mary a menyet, another ceremonial Draper, I9I5 object, but it is obvious now that it belonged to an aegis instead, and undoubtedly to an aegis of Isis, since it is she who is represented in the decoration on its upper part. The counterpoise is almost identical in shape and decoration with the one at the back of t...

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of well-formed attribute grammars as support for semantic analysis. This is the largest class of attribute grammars, which does not impose any restrictions. A data structure and an algorithm are described which are efficient, both in terms of space and time. Attribute grammars are extended from the decoration of trees to the decoration of graphs and t...

INTRODUCTION Foliage plants, defined literally, would include all plants grown for their attractive leaves rather than for flowers or fruits. In general horticultural terms, however, foliage plants are mostly those with attractive foliage and/or flowers that are able to survive and grow indoors. Thus, they are used as living plants for interior decoration or interior plantscaping. Foliage plant...

Mandala is a system for using images to represent, access, and organize web information. Images from a web page represent the content of the page. Double-clicking on an image signals a web browser to display the associated page. People identify groups of images visually and share them with Mandala by dragging them between windows. Groups of image representations are stored as imagemaps, making ...

Japanese lacquerware has been used from long ago in Japanese daily life. Makie is a famous surface decoration technique using metallic powders, color pigments, and lacquer. We propose a method for real-time rendering of Makie. The optical properties of the Makie surface is represented using Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF). Sphere environment maps are generated for the rea...

Millions of people use online dating sites each day, scanning through streams of face images in search of an attractive mate. Face images, like most visual stimuli, undergo processes whereby the current percept is altered by exposure to previous visual input. Recent studies using rapid sequences of faces have found that perception of face identity is biased towards recently seen faces, promotin...

Hybrid nanomaterials consisting of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) decorated with noble metal nanoparticles were produced by irradiating aqueous mixed solutions of the separate components with nanosecond lasers pulses at 248 nm. Specifically, the decoration with Au and Pd nanoparticles is discussed. No decoration of the MWCNT was observed by simple mixing with nanoparticle solutions. Hence, ...

The fast development of Internet and personal electronic devices has led to a dramatic growth of landmark images available on social media sites such as Flickr. With their informative and attractive content, landmark images have received considerable attention in multimedia research community. Most of existing methods focus on exploring landmark images by their spatial distribution, while large...
