Spectroscopic abundance determinations for stars spanning a Hubble time in age are necessary in order to unambiguously determine the evolutionary histories of galaxies. Using FORS1 in Multi-Object Spectroscopy mode on ANTU (UT1) at the ESO-VLT on Paranal we obtained near infrared spectra from which we measured the equivalent widths of the two strongest Ca II triplet lines to determine metal abu...


 The internet and media resources have opened new opportunities for digital cultural diplomacy management of culture. Theoretically an ideal choice diplomacy, Constantin Brancusi’s reputation as a representative government agency has suffered crisis reception. A Romanian-born French-adopted sculptor, Brancusi become symbol folklore mythology but also great, internationally recognized scul...

Our laboratory is constructing a painter robot. The first step in painting is to extract desirable feature lines such as silhouette and boundary lines, which represent the object to be drawn. For this purpose, this thesis proposes a system that extracts feature lines from a textured 3D polygonal model. First, the system builds a textured 3D model of the target object from multiple cameras using...
