In this paper we discuss our experiences of conducting user evaluations of technological installations for the new Robert Burns Birthplace museum and the challenges associating with doing this. We believed it to be important to avoid a sterile lab situation, and to be able to observe the social

ABSTRACT This paper deals the problem of scanning both the color and geometry of real objects and displaying realistic images of the scanned objects from arbitrary viewpoints. A complete system that uses a stereo camera system with active lighting to scan the object surface geometry and color

sets of the applications, we describe which operating points in terms of cache size and problem size are representative of realistic situations, which are not, and which re redundant. Using SPLASH-2 as an example, we hope to convey the importance of understanding the interplay of problem size, number

applicable in path-dependent and multifactor situations where traditional finite difference techniques cannot be used. We illustrate this technique with several realistic exatnples including valuing an option when the underlying asset follows a jump-diffusion process and valuing an America11 swaption in a 20

for example), or it can come from the execution of a statically compiled native binary. This paper evaluates the Dynamo system in the latter, more challenging situation, in order to emphasize the limits, rather than the potential, of the system. Our experiments demonstrate that even statically optimized

situations to conventional representations. Current reform efforts in algebra instruction in several countries emphasise mathematical modelling, the use of realistic problem situations, and a pedagogical approach toward functions based on the notions of change and dependency (Fey, 1990; Kaput &

. Supplies of multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) or nanofibers have been available from Hyperion Catalysis International, but under constraint and only as preformed composites. The supply situation is now improving with several firms producing on a larger scale, such as CNI, Showa Denko, Thomas Swan, and Nanocyl

that take advantage of these properties. This can lead to algorithms that are provably efficient in realistic situations. We obtain some fundamental results in this research direction. In particular, we have the following results. ffl We show the relations between various models that have been proposed

for structuring teaching and learning of Bayesian modeling in school. A modeling sequence takes departure from some concrete, realistic situation that begs to be modeled
