A book is not only a carrier of information, but also the way its aesthetic visualization. This actualizes problem understanding as an artistic artifact. The study in this context implies identification several aspects: art book; existence exhibit museum and exhibition space; use compositional meaningful element works fine art, component library design, living working spaces; alterbooking archi...

In mainstream geometric modeling, cultivating virtual plant ecosystems is a difficult task. Algorithms for realistic scene generation are rooted in procedural models with no explicit or poor external control. We propose that virtual ecosystems modeling may be boosted using software agents as behavioral tools. An ecosystem grows and is driven by its internal rules of development. If it is left t...

Does cytosolic pressure facilitate f-actin polymerization to push the leading edge of a cell forward during self-propelled motion? AFM force-distance (f-d) curves obtained from lamellipodia of live cells often exhibit a signal from which the tension, bending modulus, elastic modulus and thickness in the membrane-cortex complex can be estimated close to the contact point. These measurements perm...

While enjoying the convenience of email communications, many users have also experienced annoying email spam. Even if the current spam detecting approaches have gained a competitive edge against text-based email spam, they still face the challenge arising from imagebased spam (image spam in short). Image spam normally includes embedded images that contain the spam messages in binary format rath...

Non-photorealistic rendering is an important research topic in computer graphics, where painterly (or stroke-based) rendering has received intensive attention from researchers in recent years. The goal of this paper is to design a fully automatic algorithm, which is able to turn a photograph into an oil-style painting. Different from the existing approaches that use real brush stroke images as ...
