Non-Photorealistic Rendering

Non-Photorealistic Rendering

The ubiquity of computer-generated imagery around us in movies advertising or on the Internet is already being taken for granted and what impresses most people is the photorealistic quality of the images. Pictures as we have often been told are worth a thousand words and the information transported by an image can take many different forms. Many computer graphics researchers are exploring non-photorealistic rendering techniques as an alternative to realistic rendering. Defined by what it is not non-photorealistic rendering brings art and science together concentrating less on the process and more on the communication content of an image. Techniques that have long been used by artists can be applied to computer graphics to emphasize subtle attributes and to omit extraneous information. This book provides an overview of the published research on non-photorealistic rendering in order to categorize and distill the current research into a body of usable techniques. A summary of some of the algorithms as well as pseudo-code for producing some of the images is included.

Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons

Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons

Despite remarkable developments in the field a detailed treatment of non-Kerr law media has not been published. Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons is the first book devoted exclusively to optical soliton propagation in media that possesses non-Kerr law nonlinearities. After an introduction to the basic features of fiber-optic communications the book outlines the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) conserved quantities and adiabatic dynamics of soliton parameters. It then derives the NLSE for Kerr law nonlinearity from basic principles the inverse scattering transform and the 1-soliton solution. The book also explains the variational principle and Lie transform. In each case of non-Kerr law solitons the authors develop soliton dynamics evaluated integrals of motion and adiabatic dynamics of soliton parameters based on multiple-scale perturbation theory. The book explores intra-channel collision of optical solitons in both Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian type perturbations. In addition it examines the stochastic perturbation of optical solitons the corresponding Langevin equations and optical couplers followed by an introduction to optical bullets. Establishing a basis in an important yet insufficiently documented subject Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons will help fuel advances in optical communication systems.

Non-Linear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

Non-Linear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

Non-Linear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems is the second book within Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications to Trajectories and Vibrations Six-volume Set. As a set they are the fourth volume in the series Mathematics and Physics Applied to Science and Technology. This second book consists of two chapters (chapters 3 and 4 of the set). The first chapter considers non-linear differential equations of first order including variable coefficients. A first-order differential equation is equivalent to a first-order differential in two variables. The differentials of order higher than the first and with more than two variables are also considered. The applications include the representation of vector fields by potentials. The second chapter in the book starts with linear oscillators with coefficients varying with time including parametric resonance. It proceeds to non-linear oscillators including non-linear resonance amplitude jumps and hysteresis. The non-linear restoring and friction forces also apply to electromechanical dynamos. These are examples of dynamical systems with bifurcations that may lead to chaotic motions. Presents general first-order differential equations including non-linear like the Ricatti equationDiscusses differentials of the first or higher order in two or more variablesIncludes discretization of differential equations as finite difference equationsDescribes parametric resonance of linear time dependent oscillators specified by the Mathieu functions and other methodsExamines non-linear oscillations and damping of dynamical systems including bifurcations and chaotic motions

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Providing a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation healthcare rail maritime and other high-risk industries. Currently each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin O'Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skills as they relate to safe operations the text does not focus on the nuts and bolts of designing training and assessment programs. To this end Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills: A Practical Guide provides an extension of this work and a fitting companion text. | Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Non-State Challenges in a Re-Ordered World The Jackals of Westphalia

Non-State Challenges in a Re-Ordered World The Jackals of Westphalia

There is a sprawling scholarship on violence crime and corrupt state rule; yet few have interpreted these challenges as transformative at the global scale and as a potential source of alternative non-state legitimacy. This volume challenges Westphalian conservativism in a provocative yet plausible manner shedding light at the ubiquity and diversity of unfolding non-state agendas and at their effect on the imagined state community. Focusing on civil war parties warlords commercial providers of security multinational companies and criminal organizations the book directs attention to theoretical questions and policy challenges arising from non-state armed expansion. To accomplish this the contributors present a range of case studies and comparisons within three thematic sections: the first takes stock of how when and in what measure state and state-system legitimacy are challenged by non-state violent or criminal activity; the second addresses the nature effectiveness and side-effects of different state-mandated reaction to non-state activities; and third focuses on the recombination of state and non-state actors contributing to processes of socio-political transformation. This volume provides a current analysis of different armed and violent actors encroaching on the state's monopoly of violence. It seeks to spark debate about global political change and will be of interest to students and scholars of global governance global security and international relations. | Non-State Challenges in a Re-Ordered World The Jackals of Westphalia

Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

This book provides a comparative assessment of the material and ideational contributions of five countries to the regional architecture of post-Cold War Asia. In contrast to the usual emphasis placed on the role and centrality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Asia’s multilateral architecture and its component institutions this book argues that the four non-ASEAN countries of interest here ¾ Australia Japan China and the United States ¾ and Indonesia have played and continue to play an influential part in determining the shape and substance of Asian multilateralism from its pre-inception to the present. The work does not contend that existing scholarship overstates ASEAN’s significance to the successes and failures of Asia’s multilateral enterprise. Rather it claims that the impact of non-ASEAN stakeholders in innovating multilateral architecture in Asia has been understated. Whether ASEAN has fared well or poorly as a custodian of Asia’s regional architecture the fact remains that the countries considered here notwithstanding their present discontent over the state of that architecture are key to understanding the evolution of Asian multilateralism. This book will be of much interest to students of Asian politics international organisations security studies and IR more generally. | Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light Working Environment and Well-Being

Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light Working Environment and Well-Being

The introduction of artificial lighting extends the time of wakefulness after dark and enables work at night thus disturbing the human circadian rhythm. The understanding of the physiological mechanisms of visual and non-visual systems may be important for the development and use of proper light infrastructure and light interventions for different workplace settings especially for shift work conditions. Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light: Working Environment and Well-Being presents the impact of lighting in the working environment on human health well-being and visual performance. The physiological explanation of the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans which discusses the biological bases of image and non-image forming vision at the cellular level may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of medicine physiology and biology. It is one of the intentions of this book to put forward some recommendations and examples of lighting design which take into account both the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans. These may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of lighting occupational safety and health and interior design. What effects on health can a light ‘overdose’ or light deficiency have? What is bad light? The authors of the monograph provide answers to these questions. Just as for a physicist the dual nature of light comprises an electromagnetic wave and a photon the duality of light for a physician comprises visual and non-visual effects. -Prof Jacek Przybylski Medical University of Warsaw This is a unique publication in the field of lighting technology. The authors have skillfully combined both the technical and biomedical aspects involved which is unprecedented in the literature available. As a result an important study has been created for many professional groups with a significant impact on the assessment of risks associated with LED sources.

Southeast Asia and the European Union Non-traditional security crises and cooperation

Southeast Asia and the European Union Non-traditional security crises and cooperation

Amidst the Eurozone crisis the European Union (EU) is stepping up its dialogue and engagement with and within Southeast Asia. The EU’s contemporary approach towards Asia emphasises the importance of open economies and common challenges of the 21st Century. So-called non-traditional security issues have been portrayed increasingly as an avenue to share experiences and enhance cooperation between the EU and Southeast Asia. This contemporary conceptual re-orientation demands a closer look at the EU as an actor in Southeast Asia. This book is the first contemporary monograph-length discussion of the EU as a politico-security actor in in the region post-Cold War. Drawing upon the historical and institutional context and a broad range of empirical case studies it considers the non-traditional security crises of the late 1990s and early 2000s in Southeast Asia as triggers for enhanced regional and inter-regional cooperation. In doing so the book construes new insights into our understanding of the EU as a global actor and its normative influence in regions far away from Europe. Providing a crisis-centric and sector-specific analysis which is much-needed the book will be of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Politics and European Politics as well as policy-makers. | Southeast Asia and the European Union Non-traditional security crises and cooperation

Electrolytes Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions

Electrolytes Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions

Electrolyte solutions play a key role in traditional chemical industry processes as well as other sciences such as hydrometallurgy geochemistry and crystal chemistry. Knowledge of electrolyte solutions is also key in oil and gas exploration and production as well as many other environmental engineering endeavors. Until recently a gap existed between the electrolyte solution theory dedicated to diluted solutions and the theory practice and technology involving concentrated solutions. Electrolytes: Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions addresses concentrated electrolyte solutions and the theory of structure formation super and supramolecular interactions and other physical processes with these solutions—now feasible due to new precision measurement techniques and experimental data that have become available. The first part of the book covers the electrolyte solution in its stationary state—electrostatic and various ion-dipole dipole-dipole and mutual repulsion interactions. The second part covers the electrolyte solution in its nonstationary status in the case of forced movement between two plates—electrical conductivity viscosity and diffusion. This theoretical framework allows for the determination of activity coefficients of concentrated electrolyte solutions which play a key role in many aspects of electrochemistry and for developing novel advanced processes in inorganic chemical plants. | Electrolytes Supramolecular Interactions and Non-Equilibrium Phenomena in Concentrated Solutions

The Global Muslim Brotherhood in Britain Non-Violent Islamist Extremism and the Battle of Ideas

The Global Muslim Brotherhood in Britain Non-Violent Islamist Extremism and the Battle of Ideas

Since 2011 with the British Government’s counter-radicalisation strategy Prevent non-violent Islamist groups have been considered a security risk for spreading a divisive ideology that can lead to radicalisation and violence. More recently the Government has expressed concerns about their impact on social cohesion entryism and women’s rights. The key protagonists of non-violent Islamist ‘extremism’ allegedly include groups and individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and Jama’at-i-Islami. They have been described as part of the ‘global Muslim Brotherhood’ but do they constitute a singular phenomenon a social movement?This book shows that such groups and individuals do indeed comprise a movement in Britain one dedicated to an Islamic ‘revival’. It shows how they are networked organisationally bonded through ideological and cultural kinship and united in a conflict of values with the British society and state. Using original interviews with prominent revivalist leaders as well as primary sources the book also shows how the movement is not so much ‘Islamist’ in aspiring for an Islamic state but concerned with institutionalising an Islamic worldview and moral framework throughout society. The conflict between the Government and the global Muslim Brotherhood is apparent in a number of different fields including education governance law and counterterrorism. But this does not simply concern the direction of Government policy or the control of state institutions. It most fundamentally concerns the symbolic authority to legitimise a way of seeing thinking and living. By assessing this multifaceted conflict the book presents an exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of the political and cultural fault lines between Islamic revivalists and the British authorities. It will be useful for anyone studying Islam in the West government counter-terrorism and counter-extremism policy multiculturalism and social cohesion. | The Global Muslim Brotherhood in Britain Non-Violent Islamist Extremism and the Battle of Ideas
