Geographilia in Children's Urban Spaces: Investigating How Children Explore Outdoor Places and Connect with Natural Objects.
… Children Explore Outdoor Places and Connect With Natural Objects Chairperson: Jeffrey A. Gritzner The benefits children receive from outdoor play time are well documented by scholars across many disciplines. Interacting within an unstructured natural setting can foster physical, social, emotional, …

Feeling the Climate Crisis
… of kinetic sculptures that are made with found natural objects juxtaposed with electromechanical elements. Together they create movement patterns that express climate data. The project attempts to create an experience that allows viewers to feel climate data.

Exploring Nature for Ideas in Designing Jewelry
… in this creative project has been to observe natural objects in various forms as effected by change of season and environmental influences. These observations were recorded through the eye of the camera and used as inspiration in designing jewelry and containers for jewelry. procedure. The …

Architectural Postures: A Proposed Education Center of Nature for Rock Creek Park
… ideas. Architecture considered, in a very natural way reflects humans. I try to find a methodology inspired by natural organisms, finding the human body the most beautiful and functional of all natural objects. The structure begins to illustrate the innovation of the materials being …

ELEMENTAL
… focuses on both my relationship with the natural world as well as the complex relationships of man and nature. The visual depictions of work show both a celebration of and reverence to natural objects. This is illustrated by collecting specimens from nature that are integrated into …

Timbre perception and object separation with normal and impaired hearing
… of hearing-impaired listeners to separate natural objects due to a reduction in time and frequency resolution, certain timbre dimensions seem to not be degraded by compression loss. These timbres might provide hearing-impaired listeners with cues for separating objects when linear sound …

Enchantment, treasures and the otherworld in the Four Branches of the mabinogi.
… landscape, animal transformation and the use of natural magic is analysed – in particular, the role of natural magic to aid conjuring in Math. Alongside the discussion on enchantment is an analysis of the types and distribution of magical objects which demonstrates the purpose of these items in …

Distance based heterogeneous volume modelling.
Natural objects, such as bones and watermelons, often have a heterogeneous composition and complex internal structures. Material properties inside the object can change abruptly or gradually, and representing such changes digitally can be problematic. Attribute functions represent physical …

Providence and Alchemy: Paracelsus on How Knowledge Unfolded, Matter Developed, and Bodies Might Be Perfected.
… themselves. Chapter three examines the role that natural objects (chiefly stones and plants) were supposed to play in the providential disclosure of their own purposes. The objects bore external signs, indicating what use human beings could make of them. They also carried "knowledge" (scientia) …

On-orbit inspection of a rotating object using a moving observer
Many objects in space such as orbital debris, defunct satellites, and natural objects are uncooperative, meaning that they are not equipped with working sensors or actuators. There are several reasons to want to visit these uncooperative space objects with an inspector satellite: to deorbit or …

The Development of Landscape Painting Between the Late Gothic Period and the Early Renaissance
… research shows that the realistic rendering of natural objects and environments was the necessary initial phase of the development. The impulse to look to nature occurred first in Italy, and was based on the need for empirical illustrations for practical texts. In the North, East Anglian and …

Utilisation of Cellulose Nanocrystals for the Fabrication of Photonic Materials
… blue wings of the Morpho butterfly. These natural objects have vibrant colours and a metallic appearance due to light interference, in contrast to the colour obtained by dyes and pigments which rely on absorption. Such colours are referred to as ‘structural’ as they are the result of the …

Feature Extraction and Object Recognition using Conditional Morphological Operators
… from, and segmentation and recognition of, objects within single 2-D images under loosely controlled conditions.<br/><br/>The novel aspects of the work include the development of a conditional morphological operator, the RJ operator, providing a direct measure of the occupancy of one set by …

Wavelets In Real-time Rendering
Interactively simulating visual appearance of natural objects under natural illumination is a fundamental problem in computer graphics. 3D computer games, geometry modeling, training and simulation, electronic commerce, visualization, lighting design, digital libraries, geographical information …

Animism in Whitman: "Multitudes" of Interpretations?
… of the (metaphoric or realistic) ensoulment of natural objects. In the wake of a growing global crisis modern scholarship has begun reexamining the implications of this belief; often it introduces ambiguities into an otherwise comfortable relationship of unquestioned human domination. In …

Multiframe Superresolution Techniques For Distributed Imaging Systems
… Secondly we model wavelet coefficients of natural objects using generalized Gaussian densities. The model parameters are learned from a set of training objects and the regularization operator is derived from these parameters. We compare the results from our algorithms with an …

Exchangeable equilibria
… suggest that exchangeable equilibria are natural objects to study. Moreover, these show that the notion of symmetric correlated equilibrium is too weak and exchangeable equilibrium is a more natural analog of correlated equilibrium for symmetric games. The geometric properties of …
