  • Computer Graphics
  • Micrographics
DEF

A technique for determining, by tracing imaginary rays of light from the viewer’s eye to the objects in a scene, the parts of the scene that should be displayed in the resulting display image.

CONT

Ray-tracing technique relies on an extremely time-consuming algorithm to compute the reflection and refraction of light from the surfaces of imaginary objects. Basically the computer program traces individual light rays, starting at the viewpoint and passing backward through each pixel in the image plane until the ray hits a surface. The reflected ray is then continued to see if it could have come from a light source, either directly or after reflection from another object. For a transparent surface a second, refracted ray must also be traced.

OBS

Tracing may involve reflections and refractions of the light.

OBS

homeless; houseless; unhoused: plural forms. These terms must be preceded by the definite article "the" (e.g. "the homeless,’’ ’’the houseless’’ or ’’the unhoused"). However, the use of the nouns "homeless," ’’houseless’’ and ’’unhoused’’ as a collective noun ("the homeless") to refer to homeless people as a group can be considered offensive and should therefore be avoided in favour of using the adjective "homeless," such as in "homeless people."

Aunque es habitual —y no se considera incorrecto— mantener el término invariable en el plural (los sintecho, varios sintecho…), al tratarse de un sustantivo no hay razón para no emplear el plural "sintechos". No obstante, también resulta válida la escritura en dos palabras; en este caso, su plural es invariable: los sin techo, cuatro sin techo.

Three main hypotheses have been proposed to explain the genesis of p-forms and include; formation under debris rich basal ice..., formation by subglacial meltwater erosion..., and through abrasion by saturated till...

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The intrinsic angular momentum of an elementary particle or nucleus, which exists even when the particle is at rest, as distinguished from orbital angular momentum.

CONT

Elementary particles can be described in terms of a few simple properties. The most obvious of these are the mass and electric charge of the particle.... There is a... property which all particles carry, quantum mechanical spin. The name spin comes from an analogy with classical electro-magnetics. In classical electromagnetic theory, it is well known that a charged particle that is moving through a magnetic field will be deflected. If the particle... is spinning about some axis the deflection will be changed; i. e. the particle will go in a different direction than if it wasn’t spinning. The effect will depend on both the rate of spin and the rotation axis. In quantum mechanics, a similar effect is observed with any quantum particle. When passed through magnetic fields, they behave as if they are spinning electric charges. What's more, they behave as if their rates of spin are integral 0, 1, 2,... or half-integral(1/2, 3/2,...) of a base unit... much like charges come in basic multiples of the electron's charge. The concept of spin here is a bit more abstract than in the classical case. With a classical particle you can paint a little dot on the particle... and directly measure the rotation rate by counting the number of times you see the spot in a minute. This is not possible for quantum particles. They are not little spinning balls in that sense.

A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is a mechanism used to measure extremely weak signals, such as subtle changes in the human body’s electromagnetic energy field.

CONT

Using a device called a Josephson junction, a SQUID can detect a change of energy as much as 100 billion times weaker than the electromagnetic energy that moves a compass needle. A Josephson junction is made up of two superconductors, separated by an insulating layer so thin that electrons can pass through. A SQUID consists of tiny loops of superconductors employing Josephson junctions to achieve superposition : each electron moves simultaneously in both directions. Because the current is moving in two opposite directions, the electrons have the ability to perform as qubits(that theoretically could be used to enable quantum computing). SQUIDs have been used for a variety of testing purposes that demand extreme sensitivity, including engineering, medical, and geological equipment. Because they measure changes in a magnetic field with such sensitivity, they do not have to come in contact with a system that they are testing.

Le magnétomètre à SQUID est un détecteur de champ magnétique très sensible et il s'impose depuis sa découverte comme le magnétomètre le plus sensible actuellement disponible. Il est basé sur un détecteur supraconducteur qui est nommé «SQUID» (superconducting quantum interference device : détecteur supraconducteur à interférence quantique). Il s'agit d'un anneau supraconducteur avec une ou deux zones normales de faibles épaisseur. Le principe de fonctionnement est basé sur l'effet tunnel des porteurs du courant supraconducteur (l'effet Josephson) soumis à un champ magnétique à travers ces zones normales (dites jonctions normales ou liaisons faibles). Cet anneau est un instrument très sensible pour la détection de très faibles changements de flux magnétiques. Il est possible de mesurer avec cet appareil des champs magnétiques d'une grandeur de 10e-10 Œrsted en utilisant des bobines de détection de taille macroscopique.

A cause of non-ideal flows in biochemical reactors. It is caused by excessive pressure drops, irregular packing of the support and the uneven application of the substrate to the column. Thus the fluid tends to find a preferential path through the column, usually down one side when friction of substrate with packing material is greater than that with the walls, or down the centre of the column when friction of substrate with the walls slows fluid flow. Therefore some of the particles in the column do not come into contact with the substrate, and contact with the rest of the particles is variable.

CONT

In stirred reactors, better mixing can only be achieved by increasing the stirrer speed, by decreasing the viscosity of the substrate or the concentration of biocatalyst particles, or by baffling the reactor more efficiently. In packed-bed reactors, back-mixing, channelling and temperature gradients within the reactor are the most important causes of deviations from plug-flow behaviour and are expressed as the increase in reactor size needed to achieve the required productivity... Plug-flow is encouraged by the use of evensized, smooth, spherical, evenly packed support particles and by the absence of accumulated solids or gases in the column.

The model called diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) was introduced by Witten and Sander (1981).... The rules of the model are simple. One puts a seed particle at the origin of the lattice. Another particle is launched far from the origin and is allowed to walk at random (diffuse) until it arrives at a site adjacent to the seed particle. Then it is stopped, and another particle is launched which stops when adjacent to the two occupied sites, and so forth. In this way large clusters can be generated whose structure is expected to be characteristic for objects grown under diffusion-limited conditions.

Diffusion-limited aggregation with disaggregation (Botet and Julien 1985) is an interesting modification of the original DLA model, because during its simulation an equilibrium type regime is attained.

With this type of machine, the dough is run between the smooth rollers at increasingly thinner settings until it reaches the desired thickness. The sheets of dough are then fed through either pair of the notched rollers, which cut them into noodles. Some machines have additional attachments, such as crinkle-edge cutters for making lasagne noodles.

Le passage dans l'eau : le rameur porte son corps en arrière. Les jambes poussent en chassant le siège mobile vers la proue, puis tire vers soi l'aviron (ou les avirons). Lorsque la course du siège est achevée, l'aviron se trouve contre la poitrine. On appelle aussi cette phase l'accélération car c'est l'action qui consiste à donner au bateau sa vitesse maximale.

All official Honours in Canada stem from the Queen of Canada. For this reason the Crown is known as "the Fount of Honour"("fount" means "source" or "origin"). In a monarchy, Honours do not come from the people or from the country, they are a mark of the Sovereign's favour. Canadians who serve the Queen of Canada through their work for the country receive the Queen's State Honours established by Her Majesty and administered on her behalf by the Governor-General of Canada through the Honours Secretariat.

National headquarters advises the appropriate inland CIC [Canada Immigration Centre] of the decision. The individual is requested to come to the CIC, where the decision and procedures are explained. The shuffle is initiated at the convenience of the individual. The inland CIC sends a letter to the CIC at a border crossing to advise it that the entry of this individual is authorized. A letter is sent to the American immigration authorities advising them that the person will be readmitted into Canada through the issuance of a Minister's permit. An appointment is requested from the closest Canadian visa office in the United States with instructions to issue a Minister's permit. The individual reports to the visa office on the agreed appointment date, picks up the Minister's permit, and returns to Canada.

The most computationally complex and most realistic algorithms for dealing with both reflection and refraction are called ray-tracing algorithms. In essence they trace individual light rays to determine which of them end up at the viewpoint and how they got there. In order to avoid having to deal with an infinity of lines emanating from a point source, the process works backward, starting at each pixel. Each ray starting at the viewpoint and passing through a pixel is projected backward until it hits a surface. The backward tracing of the reflected ray then continues to determine whether it could have come from a light source or from reflection from another object.

... international law does demand a minimum international standard for the treatment of aliens. States are not obliged to admit aliens to their territory, but, if they permit aliens to come, they must treat them in a civilized manner. To put it in technical terms, failure to comply with the minimum international standards "engages the international responsibility" of the defendant state, and the national state of the injured alien may "exercise its right of diplomatic protection", i. e. may make a claim, through diplomatic channels, against the other state, in order to obtain compensation or some other form of redress.

We wrote FRUMP(Fast Reading, Understanding and Memory Program). We hooked this program up to the United Press International news wire, and the program zipped through it, summarizing the stories that it understood in several languages. The Theoretical advantages did come from FRUMP, the most notable being the fusing of the parsing and inference process into one basic process.

Peripheral graphic devices are pieces of hardware that perform these mundane but important tasks. Digitizers, joysticks, printers, plotters, and performance boosters such as arithmetic processors all fall into this category. These devices usually come in small, modular packages, and they attach to graphic-generation systems through standard interfaces.

At the same time that the patient develops movement expression [in movement or dance therapy] verbalization of feelings and group interactions are encouraged, with movement sessions taking on a decidedly social character. Dance movements as such are not taught, although the leader may express themes, suggest directions, provide music or lead discussions that help to stimulate creative expression on an individual or small-group basis. Ultimately, patients are helped to come to grips with their bodies more fully, to have a clearer image of themselves and to discover a new medium through which they can communicate their feelings and release their inner tensions.... Although primary emphasis is given [to its use] with psychiatric patients, it has also been used with the physically disabled, the elderly and even the deaf and blind as a way of helping them come to grips with their own body images and become more fully integrated emotionally and physically through nonverbal experience.

Depuis les alentours de 1950 on désigne par "expression corporelle" des techniques plus ou moins libres, induites ou dirigées, mais se présentant toutes comme différentes de la danse, du jeu théâtral ou du mime. (...) Il s'agit, dans tous les cas, d'exprimer par des mouvements ou successions de positions du corps des rythmes intérieurs et de permettre ainsi la levée de blocages et le dépassement d'interdits. (...) Si elle est, au sens large, une technique de créativité, elle peut être considérée comme une psychothérapie, utilisée seule ou comme technique complémentaire d'une psychanalyse ou d'une onirothérapie.
