The Complexity of Searching Lines in the Plane: Preliminary Version
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 1975 in English and held by 2 libraries worldwide Searching is a fundamental operation of computer science. Yet a number of key mathematical questions about searching in Euclidian spaces remains open. A number of such questions are formulated and answered here for searching lines in the plane. Relationships between the results here and higher dimensional analogs for other problems of interest are given. Among the new results is a mathematical framework in which questions about searching can be stated in a more uniform manner than was possible before. Specific results are also given on the searching complexity of various sets of lines in the plane. In particular, it is shown that there are easy and hard sets of lines to search and establish methods of generating upper and lower bounds on the search complexities of such sets.

AASERT: Software Tools for Experimentation in Computational Geometry
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2001 in English and held by 1 library worldwide This research has considered problems in computer graphics and visualization. The work has aimed to bring theoretical tools to practical problems as well as to develop tools with which to aid in the building of geometric software. The problem of creating a parameterization of the surface of a mesh that can be applied at multiple resolutions has been studied. Such a parameterization has a number of applications. We were originally motivated by the desire to be able to progressively transmit meshes by having a hierarchical representation. To solve this problem the MAPS (Multiresolution Adaptive Parameterization of Surfaces) system for finding a full surface parameterization has been developed. The parameterization is computed in hierarchical fashion. While previous methods removed a small number of vertices per iteration, we are able to remove a fraction of the vertices. As the name suggests, the parameterization is also adaptive. Thus, we can use it as a basis of resampling the surface to smooth the mesh, make it more regular or to supersample areas of high curvature.

Love it like a fool : a film about Malvina Reynolds
(
Visual
)
1 edition published in 1977 in English and held by 1 library worldwide Summary: Malvina Reynolds (1900-1978) showed an early interest in music, but it was not until the early sixties that she became famous as a songwriter and folksinger, responsible for hits like "Little boxes", "Turn around", "What have they done to the rain" and "Morningtown". Shot during the last few years of her life, this film shows her performing in concert, singing at an outdoor rally, recording a song in a studio and rehearsing with young musicians. She talks about her songwriting and publishing activities and also comments on issues like the treatment of the aged and the women's movement. A tribute to a strong and vital personality, the film reflect's society's growing realisation that age need not limit one's enjoyment of life, nor one's interest in one's fellow man. Awards: International Film Festival, San Francisco; American Film Festival, New York (Grierson Award).
