Well-known methods for solving the shape-from-shading problem require knowledge of the reflectance map. Here we show how the shape-from-shading problem can be solved when the reflectance map is not available, but is known to have a given form with some…

Morphological analysis requires knowledge of the stems, affixes, combnatory patterns, and spelling-change processes of a language. The computational difficulty of the task can be clarified by investigating the computational characteristics of specific models of morphologial processing. The use of finite-state…

Investigamos la posibilidad de obtener patrones semánticos a gran escala para cualquier lengua usando solamente análisis superficial y generalizaciones semánticas básicas. Siendo este un experimento exploratorio sólo hemos realizado una evaluación cualitativa. Hemos comparado varios patrones semánticos de traducción de…

At a time when it is clear that climate change adaptation and mitigation are failing, this book examines how our assumptions about (valid and usable) knowledge are preventing effective climate action. Through a cross-disciplinary, empirically-based analysis of climate science and…

La recherche de nouvelles voies de correction de la scoliose idiopathique a une longue histoire. Le traitement conventionnel de la scoliose idiopathique est présenté par le port du corset ou par la correction opératoire de la déformation. Depuis leur introduction,…

It has been suggested there is a knowledge base that surrounds the use of 3D modeling within the engineering design process and correspondingly within engineering design graphics education. While solid modeling receives a great deal of attention and discussion relative…

Nowadays universities are required not only to impart
knowledge of specific disciplines but also generic graduate
attributes such as communication, problem-solving,
teamwork, creative thinking, research and inquiry skills. For
students to attain these generic skills, educators are
encouraged to use…

Recently, many individuals have been faced with a transfer of learning issue, surrounding the move from one 3-D CAD system to another.  The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that, with minimal instruction, users can transfer their…

Engineering and technical graphics professionals have seen major changes in the content and the way we teach our students (Clark & Scales, 2000).  Today, professionals going into fields related to engineering/technical graphics require a broader knowledge of differing forms of…
