Summary: "These proceedings include the contributions to the 11th international Workshop Vision, Modeling, and Visualization 2006 held in Aachen, Germany. The papers cover the following topics: Image-based Reconstruction -- Textures and Rendering -- GPU-Programming -- Simulation and Visualization -- Image Processing -- Volume Visualization -- Geometry Processing and Rendering."--Publisher description.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 36th German Conference on Pattern Recognition, GCPR 2014, held in Münster, Germany, in September 2014. The 58 revised full papers and 8 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 153 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on variational models for depth and flow, reconstruction, bio-informatics, deep learning and segmentation, feature computation, video interpretation, segmentation and labeling, image processing and analysis, human pose and people tracking, interpolation and inpainting.
A new translation from the original Latin manuscript, with a new Afterword by the Translator. Schopenhauer's seminal autobiographical work, "The Course of Life" (originally printed in Latin as "Cursus Vitae") in1841, is a expose of his metaphysical pessimism, casting light on the ceaseless striving and incessant dissatisfaction which he believes to permeate human existence. This intricate treatise elucidates Schopenhauer's interpretation of the human journey as inherently driven by an insatiable will, painting life's path as an unending cycle of desire, frustration, and ephemeral satisfaction. Notably significant for its strong influence on the philosophies of Nietzsche and existentialism, this work leverages Schopenhauer's characteristic style — combining erudition, clarity, and a flair for aphorism — to compellingly articulate its perspectives, deeply shaping later philosophical thought. As such, "The Course of Life" stands as a cornerstone in Western philosophy, a richly textured discourse on our individual and collective human experiences, a work that rigorously interrogates the nature of our desires, our will, and our ultimate quest for meaning.

This is the first of three volumes providing a comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals of scientific computing. This volume discusses basic principles of computation, and fundamental numerical algorithms that will serve as basic tools for the subsequent two volumes. This book and its companions show how to determine the quality of computational results, and how to measure the relative efficiency of competing methods. Readers learn how to determine the maximum attainable accuracy of algorithms, and how to select the best method for computing problems. This book also discusses programming in several languages, including C++, Fortran and MATLAB. There are 80 examples, 324 exercises, 77 a...
From being the occupation of a marginal (and frequently marginalised) group of researchers, the linguistic analysis of machine-readable language corpora has moved to the mainstream of research on the English language. In this process an impressive body of results has accumulated which, over and above the intrinsic descriptive interest it holds for students of the English language, forces a major and systematic re-thinking of foundational issues in linguistic theory. Corpus linguistics and linguistic theory was accordingly chosen as the motto for the twentieth annual gathering of ICAME, the International Computer Archive of Modern/ Medieval English, which was hosted by the University of Freib...
This is an important book which should see the light of day. - Rabbi Pinchas Stolper, Orthodox Union I feel this work will be of great value to the thinking Jew. - Rabbi Yitzhak Rosenbaum, National Jewish Outreach Program There is little doubt in my mind that this encyclopedic work will be an indispensable resource. - Rabbi Tovia Singer, Outreach Judaism, Israel National Radio This book would also be beneficial to non-Jews who wish to know what Judaism thinks of them and their role in creation. - Rabbi Yisroel Fried, Chabad Lubavitch CLICK HERE to go to the author's personal website

A dialogue about cinema's legacy and best directors through essays by three of the best long-form critics out there, collected from the legendary NYPress for the first time. Comprising of the kind of long-form criticism that is all too rare these days, the weekly film columns in the NYPress included polemics, reviews, interviews, festival reports and features. A far cry from what is often derisively termed the "consumer report" mode of criticism, Cheshire, Seitz and White were passionately engaged with the film culture of both their own time, and what had come before. They constituted three distinctly different voices: equally accomplished, yet notably individual, perspectives on cinema. The...
In this masterful account, a historian of science surveys the molecular biology revolution, its origin and continuing impact. Since the 1930s, a molecular vision has been transforming biology. Michel Morange provides an incisive and overarching history of this transformation, from the early attempts to explain organisms by the structure of their chemical components, to the birth and consolidation of genetics, to the latest technologies and discoveries enabled by the new science of life. Morange revisits A History of Molecular Biology and offers new insights from the past twenty years into his analysis. The Black Box of Biology shows that what led to the incredible transformation of biology w...
