The influence of structural dimensions on similarity/dissimilarity judgements when categorizing paintings: A developmental study
"This study investigated the influence of structural dimensions on similarity/dissimilarity judgements when catergorizing paintings. The problem considered the structural dimensions subject matter and degree of realism and their developmental influence on the categorization of paintings. One …

Style Discrimination of Non-Art-Trained Adults: Decentration Capacity and Attention to Manipulated Visual Elements
… to aesthetic appreciation. Due to the complexity of the analytic stimuli, artwork, research findings have conflicted on two significant issues, i.e., the dominant dimensions in style classification (or ""effecting style classification"") and training to overlook dominant dimensions in style …

Local illumination models from surface geometry microform
… a model to simulate the small-scale geometry of cloth and develop a method to derive the BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance-Distribution Function) of this model from the underlying surface geometry, taking into account the blocking and shadowing phenomena at the small scale. Sample images of …

Relative distance perception of sound sources in critical listening environment via binaural reproduction
Accurate distance cues are important in the degree of realism provided by virtual audio systems. In the last decade there has been an increased interest in this research area. The main focus of this research project is to investigate the effect of different acoustic cues related to distance …

Un/Veiling
David Freedberg wrote in The Power of Images that the purpose of painting portraits was to show the living reality of the sitter by representing subjects in a way they wanted to be seen or remembered. The body of work Un/Veiling challenges that idea by representing both the subject’s staged persona …

Assimilation of altimeter data in a quasi-geostrophic model of the Gulf Stream system : a dynamical perspective
… dynamical aspects involved in the assimilation of altimeter data in a numerical ocean model have been investigated. The model used for this study is a quasi-geostrophic model of the Gulf Stream region. The data that have been assimilated are maps of sea surface height which have been obtained as …

Inferring Determinants of Viral Transmission using Short-Read Sequence Data
… have neglected the underlying genetic structure of viruses, considering instead less informative single-locus statistics. Here I examine the problem of constructing reliable haplotypes from short-read sequence data, considering the performance of both exhaustive and minimal approaches in …

An Exploration of Motivation, Relevance and Realism in Simulation Based Medical Education: "I don't want to look like an idiot"
The use of simulation in medical education, as well as the literature in the area, has increased dramatically in the past two decades. There is emerging evidence that simulation can be effective and the features of simulation which result in improved training and patient outcomes are becoming …
