W e address a n open and hitherto neglected problem i n computer vision, how to reconstruct the geometry of objects with arbitrary and possibly anisotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) . Present reconstruction techniques, whether stereo vision, structure f rom motion, laser range finding, etc. make explicit or implicit assumptions about the B R D F . Here, we introdu...

We answer a question posed by Lambert and Slater [7]. Consider a sequence of real numbers qn in the interval [0, 1] defined by q0 = 0, q1 = 1, and, for n ≥ 1, qn+1 equals an average of preceding terms in the sequence. The weights used in the average are provided by a triangular array pn,k of probabilities whose row sums are 1. What is the limiting behavior of a sequence qn so defined? For the L...

Despite overall psychotherapy efficacy (Lambert, 2013), many clients do not benefit (Reese, Duncan, Bohanske, Owen, & Minami, 2014), dropouts are a problem (Swift & Greenberg, 2012), and therapists vary significantly in success rates (Baldwin & Imel, 2013), are poor judges of negative outcomes (Chapman et al., 2012), and grossly overestimate their effectiveness (Walfish, McAlister, O'Donnell, &...

There is much evidence to suggest that psychotherapy is effective, however, it is far from flawless (e.g., Lilienfield, 2007; Stuart, 1970). As the field of mental health changes, there has been a recent movement in routine practice toward the use of standardized measures to track client progress and to collect feedback about treatment response (Lambert & Shimokawa, 2011). The use of standardiz...
