The graduate student workshop ''Buddhist Art: Objects and Contexts'' was an unusual event. Like Reflections of the Buddha, the exhibition it addressed, it was in constant dialogue with its physical setting, the singular Tadao Ando ¯ building home to the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, as the four sessions moved through the four galleries in changing light. The event was also distinguished by ...

the synthesis and single-crystal x-ray structure determination of the title compound [(bipy) , pb(0 ,cme) (o clo )] (1) and [(bipy) pb(clo ) ] (2) is described. compound (i) crystallizes in the triclinic space group p1(2), a= 7.384(2), b= 12.824(3), c= 10.622(6) a, ?= 73.41(2), ?= 80.98(2), ?= 73.68(2)', z= 2, and r =0.033 for 3408 independent reflections .compound (2) crystallizes in the ...

1. INTRODUCTION. In plane Euclidean geometry reflections across lines are fundamental isometries. Every isometry is a composition of at most three such reflections. Compositions of two reflections are rotations or translations. Compositions of three are glide reflections. (For a thorough introduction to this area of geometry, see Smith [8, chap. 6].) This paper is about the reflections across e...

This report presents the field data test of the improved autocorrelogram method using Friendswood RVSP Data. The improved migration method images the primary reflections, not the ghost reflections. The traces in the original common receiver gathers are autocorrelated after some preliminary processing. We separated the primary reflections from the surface-related ghost-reflections in the autocor...

Communicated by Abraham A. Ungar Abstract. In this paper, we investigate the reflections in Minkowski three-space by three different approaches. Firstly, we define Lorentzian reflections with Lorentzian inner product. Then, we examine Lorentzian reflections in view of Lorentzian Householder matrices. Finally, we use pure split quaternions to derive Lorentzian reflections. For each case, we find...

Specular reflections are present in the majority of laparoscopic videos. If not considered they will affect all further image analysis and registration algorithms. In most state-of-the-art algorithms, segmentation of specular reflections is done by intensity thresholding. However, the strong reflections are detected but the weak reflections are missed. The proposed method automatically detects ...

In this paper, we propose a method that separates specular reflections from polarized color images. With line constraints in RGB color space and spatial domain information, we used a Variational energy minimization approach to restore diffuse reflections. With anisotropic smoothing, our method preserves the shape of textures and successfully separates specular reflections. Also, saturation of s...

One of the solutions of the Helmholtz equation is the vortex beams. In the recent decades, production and applications of these types of beams have found serious attentions. Determination of the vortex beam topological charge and its sign are very important issues. Odd number of reflections of the vortex beam changes its vorticity. In this paper, we have used a q-plate to generate a vortex beam...
