A view is a scene observed from a given vantage point... A view must be analyzed and composed with keenly perceptive artistry to utilize even a fraction of the full dramatic potential. Like other landscape features, the view by its handling may be preserved, neutralized, modified, or accentuated... A view is a picture to be framed, an evolving panorama of many blending facets. A view is a theme... A view is a constantly changing mood conveyed by association, light, and color. A view is a limit of visual space. It transcends the boundaries of the site...

At its most basic, multi-material 3D printing lets you use two or three resins in a single print job to simulate overmolding, or produce trays of assorted parts. Dramatically expanding the possibilities, software combines several resins in specific concentrations and microstructures to produce Digital Materials that vary in translucency, rigidity, thermal resistance and color. This lets you incorporate a full range of material properties in a single print job.

An alternative to chalk. Resin(or "pine tree resin" to use its full name) is made from the yucky stuff that sticks to your hands when you touch a pine tree. Because resin is mostly colorless, it is preferred to chalk in some areas. But caution : Don’t let the color fool you. Resin can do permanent damage to the rock and in fact is not allowed anywhere in the US for that reason.

CONT

Resign bag. It is a large cloth with powdered resin placed in the middle, tied with a string and used for "thwacking" against holds for extra adhesion.

  • Atmospheric Physics

CONT

Recently two new types of lightning have been verified : red sprites and blue jets. These atmospheric discharges occur very high in the Earth's atmosphere-much higher than the familiar form of lightning. Blue jets appear blue in color and go from the tops of clouds to a height of about 50 kilometers. Because blue jets typically last almost a full second, one can easily see the jet rise from the clouds with a fast video camera. Blue jets appear as narrow cones and travel about 100 kilometers per second. The existence of blue jets has been suggested previously, but only in 1994 were aircraft flown above massive thunderstorms with the high speed video equipment necessary to verify these spectacular events.

Dye sublimation Printing. When a subliminal [or rather "subliming"] dye is heated, it changes from a solid state into a gas via a process called sublimation. The gaseous dye diffuses in the chemical coating on the paper and reverts to a solid.

OBS

[Used for continuous-tone output. ] The intensity of each color can be varied because subliminal dyes are laid on top of each other; dithering is not required to create the full range of colors.

In multimedia, an efficient color-coding scheme for natural pictures.

OBS

Since the human eye is less sensitive to chrominance(color) variations than to luminance(intensity) variations, DYUV encodes luminance(Y) information at full bandwidth and chrominance(UV) information at half bandwidth or less, storing only the differences(deltas) between each value and the one following it.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Infographie
CONT

Le Delta YUV (DYUV). Dans le format YUV, une couleur est codée sur trois axes, une composante de luminance (axe Y) et deux composantes de chrominance (les axes U et V). Le principe de codage en DYUV est de ne transmettre, pour chaque ligne à l'écran, que les différences de ces composantes entre un pixel et le suivant, excepté pour le premier pixel de la ligne où les trois composantes sont données en absolu.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
OBS

The new karyotyping methods introduced by Schrock et al use fluorescent dyes that bind to specific regions of chromosomes. By using a series of specific probes each with varying amounts of the dyes, different pairs of chromosomes have unique spectral characteristics. A unique feature of the technology is the use of an interferometer similar to ones used by astronomers for measuring light spectra emitted by stars. Slight variations in color, undetectable by the human eye, are detected by a computer program that then reassigns an easy-to-distinguish color to each pair of chromosomes. The result is a digital image rather than film, in full color. Pairing of the chromosomes is simpler because homologous pairs are the same color, and aberrations and cross-overs are more easily recognizable. In additional, the spectral karyotype has been used to detect translocations not recognizable by traditional banding analysis.

French

Par isolement de chacune des paires chromosomiques, en cytométrie de flux ou à l'aide de la microdissection, la FISH est désormais capable de réaliser de vieux rêves que les cytogénéticiens jugèrent longtemps puérils et utopiques : le coloriage du caryotype en un ravissant nuancier (le caryotype spectral) où chaque paire devient identifiable et à partir duquel toute reconnaissance (de remaniements, chromosomes marqueurs, fragments surnuméraires...) devient possible.
