A 2-knot will be a 2-sphere embedded into R locally flatly. Although we cannot see a 2-knot directly with our eyes, there are several ways to visualize it. A motion picture is one of the ways. Roughly speaking, a motion picture is a CT scan (Computed Tomographic scan) of a 2-knot. It is a one-parameter family of slices of a 2-knot, that are 0or 1-dimensional objects in R. The n-twist-spun trefo...

Western theater theory and criticism is generally considered to be set forth by the Greeks. Plato was “the first theater critic” with his negative comments about theater owing to his idealistic views about “the truth.” Then came Aristotle who used a different viewpoint from that of Plato, saying that there is “truth” in theater. However, hostile criticism on theater came back in the Middle Ages...

Blotchy noise is one of the most common and visually annoying noises noticed in digitized black-and-white motion picture films. This work investigates presents a three-stage blotchy noise reduction scheme combining efforts of temporal median filtering and motioncompensated filtering after joint motion/noise detection. Implementation of each module of the scheme is discussed and finally performa...

Methods: Retrospective review of combat theater deployed personnel presenting in theater for mental health treatment were screened for the presence theater limiting mental health conditions that were present prior to combat deployment. Rates were retrospectively established for patients who could be treated in theater (N=511) compared to those that necessitated theater medical evacuation (N=123...

Movie films are often damaged through ageing, chemical changes and contact with mechanical parts of a film projector. In this paper a method for the removal of scratches and undesirable lines in digitised film sequences is discussed. The method assumes the prior knowledge about the position and orientation of the scratches and utilises an iterative method to interpolate the affected pixels. The...

We examined three united atom models in light of their description of polyolefin dynamics and investigated the relative influence of various potentials on the resulting dynamics. Results were compared with a collection of experimental data on polyethylene, poly(ethylene-alt-propylene), polypropylene, and head-to-head polypropylene, including quasielastic neutron scattering measurements that we ...
