When guiding students to create graphic compositions, the teacher used items found in daily life as the theme for practicing their creativity. This assimilates creative theory into actual production and achieves the integration of theory and practice. For the creation of visual arts on paper bags presented in this article, the students were encouraged to draw patterns according to their favorit...

Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is proposed as a variation of supervised learning for problems with incomplete knowledge about labels of training examples. In supervised learning, every training instance is assigned with a discrete or real-valued label. In comparison, in MIL the labels are only assigned to bags of instances. In the binary case, a bag is labeled positive if at least one instanc...

A magnetic bag is an abelian approximation to a large number of coincident SU(2) BPS monopoles. In this paper we consider magnetic bags in hyperbolic space and derive their Nahm transform from the large charge limit of the discrete Nahm equation for hyperbolic monopoles. An advantage of studying magnetic bags in hyperbolic space, rather than Euclidean space, is that a range of exact charge N hy...

We prove that a bounded stack can be specified in process algebra with just the operators alternative and sequential composition and iteration. The bounded bag cannot be specified with these operators, but can be specified if we add the parallel composition operator without communication (free merge). The bounded queue cannot even be specified in this signature; we need a form of variable bindi...

In this paper we describe how to include high level semantic information, such as aesthetics and emotions, into Content Based Image Retrieval. We present a color-based emotion-related image descriptor that can be used for describing the emotional content of images. The color emotion metric used is derived from psychophysical experiments and based on three variables: activity, weight and heat. I...

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a toolkit to visualize bag calculations for teaching. We take full advantage of interaction techniques in Computer Science to achieve it, which could lead to a modern and impressive way for teaching. In this thesis, the developed toolkit is going to show the bag calculations and corresponding animations interactively and aesthetically which make new lear...

We propose modeling images and related visual objects as bags of pixels or sets of vectors. For instance, gray scale images are modeled as a collection or bag of (X,Y, I) pixel vectors. This representation implies a permutational invariance over the bag of pixels which is naturally handled by endowing each image with a permutation matrix. Each matrix permits the image to span a manifold of mult...

The martian Residual South Polar Cap (RSPC) is a 1–10 m thick deposit of permanent CO 2 ice perched on the much larger H 2 O ice cap. The CO 2 ice is dissected into mesas by erosional landforms that can be broadly classified as (i) quasi-circular pits, (ii) heart-shaped pits, (iii) linear troughs, and (iv) moats. We use HiRISE (25–50 cm/px) images taken at a cadence of days to months to track m...

The Bcl-2-associated athanogene (BAG) family is a multifunctional group of proteins involved in numerous cellular functions ranging from apoptosis to tumorigenesis. These proteins are evolutionarily conserved and encode a characteristic region known as the BAG domain. BAGs function as adapter proteins forming complexes with signaling molecules and molecular chaperones. In humans, a role for BAG...

The type of gift bags given to new mothers at the time of discharge from the hospital can influence their confidence in breastfeeding. Most hospitals in the US continue to distribute commercial gift bags containing formula samples despite the reported negative influence of commercial bags on the duration of breastfeeding. This study compared breastfeeding outcomes in women receiving three diffe...
