The lexical nature of syntactic ambiguity resolution

by Maryellen C Macdonald, Neal J Pearlmutter, Mark S Seidenberg - Psychological Review , 1994
"... Ambiguity resolution is a central problem in language comprehension. Lexical and syntactic ambiguities are standardly assumed to involve different types of knowledge representations and be resolved by different mechanisms. An alternative account is provided in which both types of ambiguity derive fr ..."

Visual interpretation of hand gestures for human-computer interaction: A review

by Vladimir I. Pavlovic, Rajeev Sharma, Thomas S. Huang - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1997
"... The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. This has motivated a very active research area conc ..."

A Fast Algorithm for Particle Simulations

More specifically, we consider potentials of whose interactions a ..."

Surface reconstruction from unorganized points

by Hugues Hoppe, Tony DeRose, Tom Duchamp, John McDonald, Werner Stuetzle - COMPUTER GRAPHICS (SIGGRAPH ’92 PROCEEDINGS) , 1992
"... We describe and demonstrate an algorithm that takes as input an unorganized set of points fx1�:::�xng IR 3 on or near an unknown manifold M, and produces as output a simplicial surface that approximates M. Neither the topology, the presence of boundaries, nor the geometry of M are assumed to be know ..."

to be known in advance — all are inferred automatically from the data. This problem naturally arises in a variety of practical situations such as range scanning an object from multiple view points, recovery of biological shapes from two-dimensional slices, and interactive surface sketching.

Flocks, herds, and schools: a distributed behavior model,

by Craig W Reynolds - Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH , 1987
"... Abstract The aggregate motion of a flock of birds, a herd of land animals, or a school of fish is a beautiful and familiar part of the natural world. But this type of complex motion is rarely seen in computer animation. This paper explores an approach based on simulation as an alternative to script ..."

The Context Toolkit: Aiding the Development of Context-Enabled Applications

by Daniel Salber, Anind K. Dey, Gregory D. Abowd - University of Karlsruhe , 1999
"... Context-enabled applications are just emerging and promise richer interaction by taking environmental context into account. However, they are difficult to build due to their distributed nature and the use of unconventional sensors. The concepts of toolkits and widget libraries in graphical user inte ..."

The Unix Time-Sharing System

by D. M. Ritchie, K. Thompson - Communications of the ACM , 1974
"... Unix is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the larger Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 and the Interdata 8/32 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including i A hierarchical file system incorporating demountable vol ..."

Defining Virtual Reality: Dimensions Determining Telepresence

by Jonathan Steuer - JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION , 1992
"... Virtual reality (VR) is typically defined in terms of technological hardware. This paper attempts to cast a new, variable-based definition of virtual reality that can be used to classify virtual reality in relation to other media. The defintion of virtual reality is based on concepts of "presen ..."

Two technological dimensions that contribute to telepresence, vividness and interactivity, are discussed. A variety of media are classified according to these dimensions

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: A developmental taxonomy

by Terrie E. Moffitt - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 1993
"... A dual taxonomy is presented to reconcile 2 incongruous facts about antisocial behavior: (a) It shows impressive continuity over age, but (b) its prevalence changes dramatically over age, increasing almost 10-fold temporarily during adolescence. This article suggests that delinquency conceals 2 dist ..."

According to the theory of life-course-persistent antisocial behavior

The hierarchy problem and new dimensions at a millimeter

by Savas Dimopoulos, Gia Dvali, et al. , 2008
"... We propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor. In this framework, the gravitational and gauge interactions become united at the weak scale, which we take as the only fundamental short distance scale in nature. The observed wea ..."
