We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics. As a preprocess, a novel global transport simulator creates functions over the object's surface representing transfer

in these networks. In this paper, we review localization techniques and evaluate the effectiveness of a very simple connectivity-metric method for localization in outdoor environments that makes use of the inherent radio-frequency (RF) communications capabilities of these devices. A fixed number of reference points

. The relative frequencies of every residue at every position. 4. The amount of information present at every position in the sequence, measured in bits. 5. An initiation point, cut point, or other significant location (if appropriate) . Any aligned set of DNA, RNA or protein sequences can be represented using

The Time-Frequency and Time-Scale communities have recently developed a large number of overcomplete waveform dictionaries -- stationary wavelets, wavelet packets, cosine packets, chirplets, and warplets, to name a few. Decomposition into overcomplete systems is not unique, and several methods

, cache miss rate, value misprediction, address misprediction, and reorder buffer occupancy). Since basic block frequencies can be collected using very fast profiling tools, our approach provides a practical technique for finding the periodicity and simulation points in applications.

Structure damage, in general, leads to a variation of the dynamic behaviour of the structures. This variation has been used into a number of existing Non-Destructive Evaluation tools for damage detection. This article shows the influence of the updated parameter choice, number of frequency points

A complete multiple reciprocity method (CMRM), usually employed for the eigenvalue analysis of Helmholtz equation, is applied to impedance calculation of 3D electric structures for multiple frequency points. Based on a recently proposed boundary integral formulations for impedance calculation

with the dynamic dislocation model for point dis-location rise times and rupture times of most earthquakes. For very large earth-quakes M s ~ (1/3) log M o,, ~ log L ~ (1/3) log E s. For very small earthquakes M s ~ log M o, ~ 3 log L ~ log E s. Scaling rules are assumed and justified. This model predicts log E

It is well-known that simple, accidental BGP configuration errors can disrupt Internet connectivity. Yet little is known about the frequency of misconfiguration or its causes, except for the few spectacular incidents of widespread outages. In this paper, we present the first quantitative study

, rather than simply the strongest edge in the neighborhood. Boundary cooling automatically freezes unchanging segments and automates input of additional seed points. Cooling also allows the user to be much more free with the gesture path, thereby increasing the efficiency and finesse with which boundaries
