Reflectance and texture of real-world surfaces

by Kristin J. Dana, Bram van Ginneken, Shree K. Nayar, Jan J. Koenderink - ACM TRANS. GRAPHICS , 1999
"... In this work, we investigate the visual appearance of real-world surfaces and the dependence of appearance on scale, viewing direction and illumination direction. At ne scale, surface variations cause local intensity variation or image texture. The appearance of this texture depends on both illumina ..."

Fast probabilistic algorithms for verification of polynomial identities

by J. T. Schwartz - J. ACM , 1980
"... ABSTRACT The starthng success of the Rabm-Strassen-Solovay pnmahty algorithm, together with the intriguing foundattonal posstbthty that axtoms of randomness may constttute a useful fundamental source of mathemaucal truth independent of the standard axmmaUc structure of mathemaUcs, suggests a wgorous ..."

Theorems of elementary geometry can be proved much more efficiently by the techmques presented than by any known arttficml-mtelhgence approach

Bank Runs, Deposit Insurance, and Liquidity

by Douglas W. Diamond, Philip H. Dybvig - Journal of Political Economy , 2000
"... This article develops a model which shows that bank deposit contracts can provide allocations superior to those of exchange markets, offering an explanation of how banks subject to runs can attract deposits. Investors face privately observed risks which lead to a demand for liquidity. Traditional ..."

. Traditional demand deposit contracts which provide liquidity have multiple equilibria, one of which is a bank run. Bank runs in the model cause real economic damage, rather than simply reflecting other problems. Contracts which can prevent runs are studied, and the analysis shows

The Google File System

by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, Shun-tak Leung - ACM SIGOPS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW , 2003
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While s ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1501 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
sharing many of the same goals as previous distributed file systems, our design has been driven by observations of our application workloads and technological environment, both current and anticipated, that reflect a marked departure from some earlier file system assumptions. This has led us to reexamine

LogP: Towards a Realistic Model of Parallel Computation

by David Culler , Richard Karp , David Patterson, Abhijit Sahay, Klaus Erik Schauser, Eunice Santos, Ramesh Subramonian, Thorsten von Eicken , 1993
"... A vast body of theoretical research has focused either on overly simplistic models of parallel computation, notably the PRAM, or overly specific models that have few representatives in the real world. Both kinds of models encourage exploitation of formal loopholes, rather than rewarding developme ..."

A theory of social comparison processes,”

by Leon Festinger - Human Relations, , 1954
"... In this paper we shall present a further development of a previously published theory concerning opinion influence processes in social groups (7). This further development has enabled us to extend the theory to deal with other areas, in addition to opinion formation, in which social comparison is i ..."

to instances where the performance which reflects the ability can be clearly ordered. In the former case, the evaluation of the ability does function like other opinions which are not directly testable in "objective reality'. For example, a person's evaluation of his ability to write poetry

Brain magnetic resonance imaging with contrast dependent on blood oxygenation.

by S Ogawa , T M Lee , A R Kay , D W Tank - Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA , 1990
"... ABSTRACT Paramagnetic deoxyhemoglobin in venous blood is a naturally occurring contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By accentuating the effects of this agent through the use of gradient-echo techniques in high fields, we demonstrate in vivo images of brain microvasculature with imag ..."

with image contrast reflecting the blood oxygen level. This blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast follows blood oxygen changes induced by anesthetics, by insulininduced hypoglycemia, and by inhaled gas mixtures that alter metabolic demand or blood flow. The results suggest that BOLD contrast can

Rendering Synthetic Objects into Real Scenes: Bridging Traditional and Image-based Graphics with Global Illumination and High Dynamic Range Photography
