We consider a version of the on-line graph coloring problem as a two person game. Players are called Spoiler and Painter. Spoiler reveals a graph by putting or removing a node. But at each time the total number of nodes on the board is bounded by previously fixed constant n. Painter must assign a color to any new node such that two nodes connected by an edge have different colors. He cannot cha...

This paper describes an interactive robotic art installation Dream Painter by the artistic duo Varvara & Mar that deploys artificial intelligence (AI), a KUKA industrial robot and interaction technology in order to offer audience interpretation of their past dreams, which are then turned into collective painting. The is composed four larger parts: design, AI-driven multicoloured drawing sof...

We consider on-line Ramsey numbers defined by a game played between two players, Builder and Painter. In each round Builder draws an the edge and Painter colors it either red or blue, as it appears. Builder’s goal is to force Painter to create a monochromatic copy of a fixed graph H in as few rounds as possible. The minimum number of rounds (assuming both players play perfectly) is the on-line ...

The Neotropical genus Neodischistus Painter has a distribution restricted to South (Brazil and Argentina) and Central America (Panama). The genus is composed of two previously described species that are herein revised: N. currani Painter and N. collaris Painter. One new Brazilian species is described: N. marstoni sp. nov. Illustrations of the external morphology of adults and male and female te...

Paint is a suspension of finely divided pigment particles in a liquid composed of a binder (resin), a volatile solvent or water, and additives that impart special characteristics. The volatile components evaporate from the drying film after application, while the binder holds the pigment in the dry film, causing it to adhere to the substrate. Some high quality, hard gloss paints are referred to...

The prevalence of different measurements of respiratory illness among construction painters was examined and the relation between respiratory illness and employment as a painter assessed in a cross sectional study of current male members of two local affiliates of a large international union of painters. Respiratory illness was measured by questionnaire and spirometry. Longer employment as a pa...

Drawing from the seminal definition of the principles of abstract art posed by Wassily Kandinsky in the early years of the twentieth century, and contextualizing that knowledge in contemporary cognitive metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999), the study attempts to arrive at an understanding of how cognitive structure emerges in pragmatic self-observation during the artistic process. Through a...

We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image content composition. Very different from the existing Query-by-Example paradigm, logical queries are expressed using categories of similar regions without any starting example region. The set of region category representatives constitutes the “photometric region thesaurus” of the image database. Logical composition of re...

LATEX by Adam Jobson For a family of graphs F closed under subgraphs, and a graph G from F , define a game (G,F) played by Builder and Painter. The game begins with Builder presenting an edge and Painter coloring the edge red or blue. On each turn thereafter, Builder adds another edge to the red-blue colored graph present (adding vertices if needed), so that the new graph, viewed uncolored, is ...
