We show that the loop spaces on real projective spaces are topologically approximated by the spaces of rational maps RP → RPn. As a byproduct of our constructions we obtain an interpretation of the Kronecker characteristic (degree) of an ornament via particle spaces.

Female pheasants may base their choice of mates on the expression of male ornaments such as the red chin wattle and the length of the spurs. Both these ornaments are predicted to be sensitive to access to carotenoids (and vitamins). Moreover, because carotenoids also enhance immune function, it has been suggested that there is a trade-off in the use of carotenoids for ornament expression and im...

Abstract Twisting through a dissonant flattened 7th now more commonly recognized as the Jazz ‘blue’ 7th, ‘English’ cadence is distinctive feature of early modern English music. Typically embedded within texture piece in an inner part, this voice-leading pattern works by pulling against its own regularity: it highlights predictability, regularity cadence, spiralling, just briefly, into unpredict...

As an interaction of multiple domains including design, the furniture industry may valorise in ornamentation traditional motifs, and could encourage creativity designers to develop original products with a modern based on digitalized technology. The article presents example applying CAD-CAM-CAE tools for analysing possibility transposing motifs from textile heritage decoration, select appropria...
