Terrain Impostors
<p>Interactive software applications which need to render large terrain meshes can suffer from slow frame rates if the geometry of the terrain is sufficiently dense. However, the viewing angle to many distant features of the terrain does not change rapidly with respect to time. If the movement of …

Impostors for Parallel Interactive Computer Graphics
… parallel rendering system based on the impostors technique. Impostors increase the latency tolerance of an interactive rendering system, which allows us to use the power of a parallel machine even at high resolutions and framerates. Impostors also decrease the required rendering …

Outsiders, Impostors, and Equals: A Quantitative Study of Workplace Ostracism, Impostor Phenomenon, and Perceptions of Fair Treatment
The purpose of this dissertation-in-practice was to understand the relationship between the workplace cultural factors of fair treatment and ostracism, and non-profit employees’ personal experiences of impostor phenomenon (IP). This quantitative study aimed to provide non-profit sector leaders with …

Towards the use of sub-band processing in automatic speaker recognition
… of the work, a new method of ranking a speaker’s impostors is presented. It involves creating a vector quantisation (VQ) model for each potential impostor and testing this impostor model against the genuine speaker’s VQ model. The ranking of these model vs. model scores is indicative of the final …

Multimodal biometrics score level fusion using non-confidence information
… confidence region) between genuine users and impostors. In score space, a further separation of the samples outside the non-confidence region does not result in further verification improvements. Therefore, information contained in the non-confidence region might be useful for improving the …

Procedural Generation and Rendering of Large-Scale Open-World Environments
… using procedurally generated meshes and impostors. The volumetric terrain is editable in real time, which limits our ability to pre-generate or cache large amounts of geometry, and also limits the number of assumptions we can make with regard to visibility.</p> <p>We support a view …

Panic on the British Borderlands: The Great God Pan, Victorian Sexuality, and Sacred Space in the Works of Arthur Machen
… rich in quality. The Great God Pan, The Three Impostors, or, The Transmutations, "The White People," and the autobiographies Far Off Things and Things Near and Far are the primary sources in my study. The enchantment of place and the potential and active horrors of the countryside and the city …

Keystroke and Touch-dynamics Based Authentication for Desktop and Mobile Devices
… of habituation on similarities between users and impostors. It also proposes a novel effective feature for the keystroke dynamics domain called event sequences. We show empirically that unlike features from traditional keystroke dynamics literature, event sequences are independent of typing speed. …

Exploration of the Impostor Phenomenon in Law School Students
… because the students persistently feel like impostors undeserving of being in law school, despite compelling evidence to the contrary. Though studies of other graduate students (e.g., engineering and nursing) indicate a substantial number of them suffer from the IP, no previous research on …

Wandering, Idleness, and the Nineteenth-Century Tales Novel, 1836-1895
… In a Glass Darkly (1872), and The Three Impostors (1895) make up an archive that articulates the still-prevalent view that marriage is static and hence refuses to accept it as plot. These works instead can be read not merely as anti-marriage or failed-marriage plots, which still see …
