Subdivision is a well-known and established method for generating smooth curves and surfaces from discrete data by repeated refinements. The typical input for such a process is a mesh of vertices. In this work we propose to refine 2D data consisting of vertices of a polygon and a normal at each vertex. Our core refinement procedure is based on a circle average, which is a new non-linear weighte...

The so-called Rolling Circle Amplification allows for amplification of circular DNA structures in a manner that can be detected in real-time using nucleotide-based molecular beacons that unfold upon recognition of the DNA product, which is being produced during the amplification process. The unfolding of the molecular beacons results in a fluorescence increase as the Rolling Circle Amplificatio...

The "circle analysis" method of Williams (1969) and a new improved method employing hypothetical grains described in the previous paper have been used to analyze the distribution of autoradiographic grains over erythroid bone marrow cells labeled with radioactive iron, (55)Fe. The resolution obtainable with this isotope was determined by measuring the distribution of grains about a thin line so...

We describe a new method for detecting features on a marked RoboCup field. We implemented the framework for robots with omnidirectional vision, but the method can be easily adapted to other systems. The focus is on the recognition of the center circle and four different corners occurring in the penalty area. Our constructive approach differs from previous methods, in that we aim to detect a who...

Quality improvement according to the Audit Project Odense (APO) method has in recent years become increasingly popular among general practitioners (GPs) in the Nordic countries. APO was launched in 1989 with the objective of creating an e¡ective easy to use instrument for quality improvement in general practice. The core of the APO method is a quality circle, in which participation is always vo...

The building density of Central Business District (CBD) is usually high. Land for a bus terminal is insufficient. In this situation, passengers in CBD have to walk far to take a bus, or take a long time to wait for a taxi. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an indirect approach: the design of a circle line of shuttle bus as a dynamic bus terminal in CBD. The shuttle bus can deliver peop...

One of the issues associated with pattern classification using databased machine learning systems is the “curse of dimensionality”. In this paper, the circle-segments method is proposed as a feature selection method to identify important input features before the entire data set is provided for learning with machine learning systems. Specifically, four machine learning systems are deployed for ...

There are many researches about the methods to generate free viewpoint image in linear camera arrangement, but it is rare in circular camera arrangement. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate free viewpoint image for FTV in circular camera arrangement. This method is based on the Ray-Space method, which is one of the Image Based Rendering (IBR) techniques. We can generate arbitra...

the problem of the hermeneutical circle is one of the contentious issues in philosophical hermeneutics. this paper, begins with focusing on the question as to whether what hermeneuts mean by a hermeneutical circle is in fact a real circle with no analogical sense involved. recognizing that this problem is not confined to the relation between part and whole, this study confines itself to explore...

The continuous multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz (cMERA) is a variational class of states for quantum fields. As originally formulated, the cMERA applies to infinite systems only. In this paper we generalize formalism finite circle, which achieve by wrapping action so-called entangler around circle. This allows us transform on line into addition, in case Gaussian noninteracting fie...
