Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels which has got a huge success. To explore the reasons of so successful of the novel behind, we analyzed the characters network in Harry Potter from the perspective of complex networks. Studies show that the characters network in Harry Potter has got the small-world effect and scale-free feature. It is a typical complex network. The success of nove...

Clifford theory of finite groups is generalized to association schemes. It shows a relation between irreducible complex characters of a scheme and a strongly normal closed subset of the scheme. The restriction of an irreducible character of a scheme to a strongly normal closed subset coniatns conjugate characters with same multiplicities. Moreover some strong relations are obtained.

Among species of the genus Dyckia Schult. & f. there are 13 endemic Brazilian states Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina informally treated as selloa complex. This study employed standard plant anatomy techniques to investigate variation in leaf morphology belonging with a focus establishing characters that help delimit The results allowed survey morphological anatomical important for characte...

Using wavelet transform to handle auto-mobile image with complex background for license localization, then preprocess license characters on vehicle licenses, and extracting the textural features of license characters in wavelet space, this paper proposed a novel algorithm for vehicle license localization and character recognition which is based on adaptive wavelet neural networks. Firstly, it u...

By a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field C with non-negative integral trace. Thus, every permutation matrix over C is a quasipermutation matrix. For a given finite group G, let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of G (or of a faithful representation of G by permutation matrices), let q(G) denote the minimal degree of a fa...

How are Chinese characters recognized and represented in the brain of skilled readers? Functional MRI fast adaptation technique was used to address this question. We found that neural adaptation effects were limited to identical characters in bilateral ventral visual system while no activation reduction was observed for partially overlapping characters regardless of the spatial location of the ...

A story-based video game contains many characters. The majority are virtual characters controlled by artificial intelligence. In recent years, virtual character artificial intelligence has developed slower than other aspects of video games, such as graphics, mainly due to the cost of scripting complex and believable virtual characters. To tackle this bottleneck in content creation, this researc...
