Evaluators and researchers often have to deal with situations in which conventional research tools are impossible to use, either because of the characteristics of a population or unclear research variables. This paper presents a technique that succeeds in overcoming this kind of problem--a projective technique, but one that differs from the usual approach to projective techniques. The approach ...

During recent years, several studies have revealed that human-dog relationships are based on a well-established and complex bond. There is now evidence suggesting that the dog-human affectional bond can be characterized as an "attachment". The present study investigated possible association between the owners' attachment profile assessed throughout a new semi-projective test (the 9 Attachment P...

We prove an extension of the homology version Hofer–Zehnder conjecture proved by Shelukhin to weighted projective spaces which are symplectic orbifolds. In particular, we that if number fixed points counted with their isotropy order as multiplicity a non-degenerate Hamiltonian diffeomorphism such space is larger than minimum possible, then there infinitely many periodic points.

We construct an isomorphism of graded Frobenius algebras between the orbifold Chow ring of weighted projective spaces and graded algebras of groups of roots of the unity.

Low-textured image stitching remains a challenging problem. It is difficult to achieve good alignment and it is easy to break image structures due to insufficient and unreliable point correspondences. Moreover, because of the viewpoint variations between multiple images, the stitched images suffer from projective distortions. To solve these problems, this paper presents a line-guided local warp...

We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring R with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field K. Such a representation is based upon a (K,R)-bimodule U . The points of the projective line over R are represented by certain subspaces of the projective space P(K,U ×U) that are isomorphic to one of their complements. In particular, distant points go over...
