1824: Peter Roget presented his paper ’The persistence of vision with regard to moving objects’ to the British Royal Society. 1831: Dr. Joseph Antoine Plateau (a Belgian scientist) and Dr. Simon Rittrer constructed a machine called a phenakitstoscope. This machine produced an illusion of movement by allowing a viewer to gaze at a rotating disk containing small windows; behind the windows was another disk containing a sequence of images. When the disks were rotated at the correct speed‚ the synchronization

My only contribution to the pit on that day was an interpolation of dissonance which made me cringe as if I had scraped my nails on a chalkboard. Consequently‚ I resolved myself to catch up with the rest of the orchestra members to avoid making a fool out of myself again. I began to visit the practice rooms

Market Segmentation Survey Abstract In the following paper we study the theory of market segmentation‚ the approaches to the profiling mechanisms to establish profit-maximizing segmentation‚ in order to keep on in a competitive market as the airline transportation is‚ after the liberalization. Also a short survey on the segmentation discrete choice modeling is made to bring the theory to the practice. Keywords: Market segmentation‚ airline transportation‚ discrete choice models. 1.

Authors Margaret Kovach and Irving Seidman address the use of narratives or interviews and the responsibility a researcher has to their participants. If not done responsibly‚ researchers in the past and to some extent today can do harm to those interviewed. Both speak of using approved interview approaches and gaining participant consent when using information collected during research. Ms. Kovach’s (2012) book‚ Indigenous Methodologies: Characteristics‚ Conversations‚ and Context‚ illuminates

my curiosity I chose to write my bachelor’s thesis about three-dimensional surface construction methods. I mainly focused on analyzing surfaces defined by functions‚ giving a brief attention to a polygonal mesh. I analyzed and compared various interpolation (Lagrange‚ Hermite‚ Spline) and approximation (Bezier‚ B-Spline‚ NURBS) methods used in curve and surface design. Thanks to this thesis I gained confidence that concepts and math behind the computer graphics are not from another world. Currently

2. METHODOLOGY AND DATA 2.1 Holdridge Life Zones In Holdridge (1967) life zones approach (Figure 1)‚ there two assumptions: 1) The temperature and precipitation variables are main factors determining life zones (or biomes). 2) The vegetation is assumed to be independent of animals. According to the assumptions‚ the primary influences on life zones are those factors that make up climate of the Holdridge system. In this respect‚ it is not unlike the systems of Köppen (1931) and Thornthwaite (1948)
