salinity is one of the major environmental stresses that limit plant growth and productivity. glasswort (salicornia herbacea l.) is one of the native halophytic plants of iran that widely spread in salt areas. the purpose of this study was to determine the physiological and growth responses of s. herbacea to salinity stress. plastic pods (15 cm diameter, 20 cm height) with the silica sand bed w...

A plaster statue is an object created from a mold made from a stone statue, for example, and into which plaster is poured and hardened. The delicate shape is lost, however, during the molding process, and an issue arises in that the plaster statue has a smoother shape than does the original statue. Consequently in this research, by applying a sharpening filter to the 3D shape data of a plaster ...

An augmented reality (AR)-based guidance system for use in indoor artistic-statue exhibitions is proposed to guide a visitor to find and appreciate statue artworks. For statue recognition, a skillful method of exhaustive matching of statue-image features is proposed, which “learns” each statue by capturing its images from different directions to construct a database, and recognizing each statue...

1. I agree with Professor Medina that identity is relative to fields in such a way that whenever X and Y are identical, they are always identical in some respect and their being identical in this way does not preclude their also being different in other respects. This statue may be the same lump of clay I saw in your workshop yesterday but not the same statue I saw, since it hadn’t yet been sha...

Monists about material constitution typically argue that when Statue is materially constituted by Clay, Statue is just Clay. Pluralists about material constitution deny that constitution is identity: Statue is not just Clay. When Clay materially constitutes Statue, Clay is not identical to Statue. I discuss three familiar puzzles involving grounding, overdetermination and conceptual issues, and...

This paper attacks various arguments for the impossibility of coinciding objects. Distinguishing a temporally relative from an absolute sense of ‘the same’, we see that the intuition, ‘this is only one thing’, and the dictum, ‘two things cannot occupy the same place at the same time’, are individuating things at a time rather than absolutely and are therefore compatible with coincidence. Burke ...

Abstract The statue habit was a defining characteristic of Classical cities, and its demise in Late Antiquity has recently attracted scholarly attention. This article analyzes this process the city Rome, charting decline abandonment practice setting up free-standing statues between end 3rd c. mid 7th CE. Focusing on epigraphic evidence for new dedications, it discusses nature terms differences ...

Photogrammetry is a well-established method for the use of heritage recording and documentation, whereas terrestrial laserscanning is a rather new technique for 3D object modelling. Both sensor systems have their individual advantages. This paper describes the combined use of both techniques for the modelling of the statue Marc Anton. This statue, located in the city center of Vienna, has an ap...
