A hybrid (statistical/structural) approach is presented, for scaleand orientation-invariant recognition of multi-component cartographic symbols. A decision-tree classifier (DTC) is used to identify the shapes of the individual components of a symbol. Structural matching is then used to determine the type of symbol under consideration.

The theory of overconvergent modular symbols was created by Glenn Stevens over 20 years ago, and since then the subject has had many generalizations and applications central to modern number theory (e.g. overconvergent cohomology, eigenvarieties of reductive groups, families of p-adic L-functions, just to name a few). In these notes, rather than give a systematic development of the general theo...

How do symbols affect 3-to 4-year-olds' executive function? Evidence from a reverse-contingency task. Symbols and executive function 2 Abstract In two experiments 330 3-to 4-year-olds competed for stickers in a game where the optimal response strategy was to point to an empty box that their opponent would receive in order to obtain a baited box for themselves. When the baited box contained stic...

Recent interest in the Kashaev-Murakami-Murakami hyperbolic volume conjecture has made it seem important to be able to understand the asymptotic behaviour of certain special functions arising from representation theory — for example, of the quantum 6j -symbols for SU(2). In 1998 I worked out the asymptotic behaviour of the classical 6j -symbols, proving a formula involving the geometry of a Euc...

Let p be a prime > 3 and consider the Tate algebra A := Q p z defined to be the Banach algebra of formal power series over Q p that converge on the closed unit disk B[0, 1] ⊆ C p with the supremum norm ||f || := sup z∈B[0,1] |f (z)| for f ∈ A. Equivalently, we have (0.1) A = f (z) = ∞ k=0 a k z k a k ∈ Q p and lim k→∞ a k = 0 and the norm is given by (0.2) ||f || = sup k |a k |, for f = ∞ k=0 a...

The flow of Marxism was one of the most powerful social-political currents of the Pahlavi opposition which, despite the progress of political upheavals and internal splits, reached the threshold of the Islamic Revolution. One of the main reasons for the success of this flow, compared to other rival currents, was the presence of numerous symbols in the context of this adventure. The symbols of t...

This paper explores the developing of how designers can search for inspiration source which provided in the form of traditional elements and archetypes and also their role on idea generation in design from building to urban measure. In order to clarify of this, current study focuses on the Far-East region as an ancient part of the world in which there is a huge number of symbols like well known...
