This paper describes displacement mapping technique that is used in 3D graphics to add detail on the object’s surface. There are various approaches for implementing it that suit different usages. Most common approaches are explained and shortcomings for each are listed. An adaptive view dependant tessellation algorithm is looked at more closely and some hardware related issues are also discusse...

The three-dimensional plasma boundary displacement induced by long-lasting core magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities has been measured in JET, MAST and NSTX. Only saturated instabilities are considered here since transient rapidly growing modes which degrade confinement and act as potential triggers for disruptions bring more fundamental concerns than boundary displacements. The measured dis...

Spatial mobility is a topical concept of analytical migration science, which makes it possible to assess the desires, readiness and capabilities of the population to move over certain distances and time. In the management of spatial mobility assessment requires the organization of systematic monitoring, which includes identifying the mobility potential in spatial and temporal interpretation, th...

The sump syndrome was initially described in relation to patients who had undergone external dacryocystorhinostomy. Here we report a case of sump syndrome that developed following laser conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy (CDCR) due to tube displacement after a bout of forceful sneezing. Unlike cases of external dacryocystorhinostomy where flaps are sutured, there is a potential space created by t...
