Spatial Democracy, a Capability Approach towards Commensurability

Thomas Charles Marie Pierre Favre-Bulle

Metropolitanization, through the upscaling of urban systems and lifestyles, changes the political patterns of urban areas. Many models of governance have been proposed both to improve the quality and optimize efficiency of urban policies. However surveys s ...

Invertible Extractors and Wiretap Protocols

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

A wiretap protocol is a pair of randomized encoding and decoding functions such that knowledge of a bounded fraction of the encoding of a message reveals essentially no information about the message, while knowledge of the entire encoding reveals the messa ...

Devanagari Character Recognition towards natural Human-Computer Interaction

Pulkit Goyal, Sapan Diwakar

Human-computer interaction is a growing research area. There are several ways of interaction with the computer. Handwriting has continued to persist as a means of communication and recording information in the day to day life even with the introduction of ...

Eye Contact as Trigger for Modification of Virtual Character Behavior

Daniel Thalmann, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

The increasing use of Virtual Reality in the treatment of phobias translates in a just as expanding need for realism in its scenes and characters. Virtual characters need to seem gifted with intelligence. A first step in achieving this is by giving them th ...

Likelihood estimation of the extremal index

Mária Süveges

The article develops the approach of Ferro and Segers (2003) to the estimation of the extremal index, and proposes the use of a new variable decreasing the bias of the likelihood based on the point process character of the exceedances. Two estimators are d ...

Ultrarelativistic sources in nonlinear electrodynamics

The fields of rapidly moving sources are studied within nonlinear electrodynamics by boosting the fields of sources at rest. As a consequence of the ultrarelativistic limit the δ-like electromagnetic shock waves are found. The character of the field within ...

Dynamic Obstacle Clearing for Real-time Character Animation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

This paper proposes a novel method to control virtual characters in dynamic environments. A virtual character is animated by a locomotion and jumping engine, enabling production of continuous parameterized motions. At any time during runtime, flat obstacle ...

Induced magnetic fields in aromatic [n]-annulenes-interpretation of NICS tensor components

The components of nucleus-independent chem. shift (NICS) tensors for Dnh n-annulenes are discussed as indexes of the arom. character of electronic pi systems. The component corresponding to the principal axis perpendicular to the ring plane, NICSzz, is fou ...
