Sparkle vision : seeing the world through random specular microfacets
This thesis studies the problem of reproducing the world lighting from a single image of an object covered with random specular microfacets on the surface. Such a reflector can be interpreted as a randomized mapping from the lighting to the image. This intrinsic randomness makes it challenging for …

"Beyond the Sparkle" : diversification of mineral-rich economies: The case of Botswana
Botswana is known as Africa's growth miracle, having transformed from one of the poorest countries in the world at independence, into a middle-income economy in a short period of time. The country's success has been reliant on high revenues accrued from its diamond mining industry, however, …

Slowing Down Time: studies on spatial time
… moments which we'd like to last no more that the sparkle of a flash, but as we all have noticed, those are the longest in our life. How does the space that we inhabit influence on our perception of time? May we identify especial elements that contribute in one or other sense to accelerate or …

Louis H. Sullivan: The Aesthetic Movement, Classical Monumentality and the Skyscraper
… his career, creating some surfaces that sparkle. It will also be demonstrated that Sullivan changed his drawing style to better articulate his textural visions to others. The second way in which this dissertation looks at Sullivan’s architecture is through the lens of Classical …

Desenvolvimento de Modelos Químico - Quânticos para o Estudo de Complexos com Íons Lantanídeos e Actinídeos
Desde a sua concepção em 1994, o modelo SMLC, Sparkle Model for Lanthanide Complexes, tem sido utilizado apenas para o cálculo das geometrias do estado fundamental de complexos de Eu(III). Neste trabalho, aperfeiçoamos em muito este modelo para o íon Eu(III) e iniciamos o procedimento de extensão …
