OBJECTIVE Many radiology information systems (RISs) installed during the 1980s have a user interface that is crude by today's standards. We explored improving this user interface by using the local processing power of the personal computer. In this article we describe a computer program that significantly enhances the ease of report retrieval by automating much of the interaction with our RIS, ...

ion The real world is so finely grained that any attempt to plan using a highly detailed model of reality is doomed because of enormous computational complexity. DERVISH avoids this pitfall by reasoning about an abstraction of the real world that is based on a quantization of the world into a set of states; each state corresponds to a node on the topological map or a hallway segment between two...

Dini ve sivil mimaride birer aydınlatma aracı olmaları açısından işlevsel olarak kullanılan şamdanlar özellikle ışık simgeselliği çerçevesinde birçok inançta sembolik anlamlar yansıtmış bu sembolizm eserlerin tasarımını da etkilemiştir.

Isa bey tekke does not exist any more in Sarajevo. This valuable cultural heritage object was completely destroyed and a gasoline station was built in its place. Virtual reconstruction has recovered the appearance of the building, but not what was happening inside. The Mevlevi dervish ritual was presented using interactive computer animation. The goal of this paper is to explore the perception ...
