We introduce a tiled 3D MIP map representation of global illumination data. The representation is an adaptive, sparse octree with a “brick” at each octree node; each brick consists of 83 voxels with sparse irradiance values. The representation is designed to enable efficient caching. Combined with photon tracing and recent advances in distribution ray tracing of very complex scenes, the result ...

Though too often lately we’ve found ourselves watching films at home, instead of going to theatres, cinema in itself is a medium fellowship, reminiscence and communication.Starting from these premises we, as festival, wanted create different way get experience its values, without actually involving the cinematic experience. While immersed global (the pandemic) we started look back again unique ...

In this thesis properties and the origin of black hole entropy are investigated from various points of view. First, laws of black hole thermodynamics are reviewed. In particular, the first and generalized second laws are investigated in detail. It is in these laws that the black hole entropy plays key roles. Next, three candidates for the origin of the black hole entropy are analyzed: the D-bra...

We generalize the brick polytope of V. Pilaud and F. Santos to spherical subword complexes for finite Coxeter groups. This construction provides polytopal realizations for a certain class of subword complexes containing all cluster complexes of finite types. For the latter, the brick polytopes turn out to coincide with the known realizations of generalized associahedra, thus opening new perspec...

The demand for sustainable alternative construction materials to cement in modern technology cannot be underemphasized. This paper presents a non-fired green brick with an agriculture residue namely, rice husk. Although, high plasticity brown clay deposits are widely distributed in Malaysia and rice husk is a well known agriculture residue, research works on non-fired green brick with rice husk...

The design of repair mortars started from the characterization of the original mortar samples preserved in small areas in the floors of the Dungeon Tower, Bač Fortress. Two materials (waste brick and clay material) were investigated in order to select the pozzolanic material which later was a component of the repair mortar. Based on the compatibility test of the examined old mortars and of the ...

We consider the thermodynamics of minimally coupled massive scalar field in 3+1 dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter black hole background. The brick wall model of ’t Hooft is used. When Schwarzschild like coordinates are used it is found that two radial brick wall cut-off parameters are required to regularize the solution. Free energy of the scalar field is obtained through counting of sta...

The recently introduced family of fourth generation eGaN® FET power devices provides significant improvements in electrical performance figures of merit, reductions in device onresistance, and larger die, enabling improved performance in high frequency, high current applications. These new devices provide a path to approximately double the power density of brick-type standard converters. This p...

A nontrivial connected graph is matching covered if each of its edges lies in a perfect matching. Two types of decompositions of matching covered graphs, namely ear decompositions and tight cut decompositions, have played key roles in the theory of these graphs. Any tight cut decomposition of a matching covered graph results in an essentially unique list of special matching covered graphs, call...
