Today, in the world of information technology, conceptual model representation of database schemas is challenging for users both in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) domain. ...

Manually creating virtual rural worlds is often a difficult and lengthy task for artists, as plant species selection, plant distributions and water networks must be deduced such that they realistically reflect the environment ...

We propose a matrix quantum mechanics for a class of non-Abelian quantum Hall states. The model describes electrons which carry an internal SU($p$) spin. The ground states of the matrix model include spin-singlet generalizations ...

We study a U($\small N$) gauged matrix quantum mechanics which, in the large $\small N$ limit, is closely related to the chiral WZW conformal field theory. This manifests itself in two ways. First, we construct the left-moving ...

This article brings together two views of organisations: resource-based theories (RBT) and social network analysis (SNA). Resource-based theories stress the importance of tangible assets, as well as less tangible ones, ...

Shear thickening, an increase of viscosity with shear rate, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in suspended materials that has implications for broad technological applications. Controlling this thickening behavior remains a major ...

Texture perception of foods is a common yet remarkably unstudied biophysical problem. Motivated by recent experiments reporting the presence of corpuscular endings in tongue filiform papillae, we develop in this work a ...

With the advent of the Internet came the promise of global information access. In keeping with this promise, Digital Libraries (DLs) began to emerge across the world as a method of providing structured information to their ...

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a local geodesic flow of an affine connection on a surface to admit a linear first integral. The conditions are expressed in terms of two scalar invariants of differential ...

We prove the equality of two canonical bases of a rank 2 cluster algebra, the greedy basis of Lee–Li–Zelevinsky and the theta basis of Gross–Hacking–Keel–Kontsevich.

Imaging in radio astronomy entails the Fourier inversion of the relation between the sampled spatial coherence of an electromagnetic field and the intensity of its emitting source. This inversion is normally computed by ...

Procedural generation is used extensively in the field of computer graphics to automate content generation and speed up development. One particular area often automated is the generation of additional colour and structural ...

Computer animated pre-visualisation occurs at an early stage of visualising scenes in low-fidelity. This is a collaborative process, in which directors communicate with animators how shot sequences will occur. Producers ...

This dissertation investigates the challenges that Deaf adults encounter at the task of learning computer literacy skills. Deaf adults who communicate using South African Sign Language (SASL) come from poor socio-economic ...

The magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability has been shown to play a key role in many astrophysical systems. The equation for the growth rate of this instability in the incompressible limit, and the most-unstable mode that ...

Swimming cells and microorganisms are a critical component of many biological processes. In order to better interpret experimental studies of low Reynolds number swimming, we combine experimental and numerical methods to ...

We build the wrapped Fukaya category $\textit{W}$($\textit{E}$)for any monotone symplectic manifold $\textit{E}$, convex at infinity. We define the open-closed and closed-open string maps, OC : HH$_{*}$($\textit{W}$($\textit{E}$)) ...

Low resourced languages, such as South Africa's isiXhosa, have a limited number of digitised texts, making it challenging to build language corpora and the information retrieval services, such as search and translation ...

The intensity of the O IV 2s$^{2}$ 2p $^{2}$P-2s2p$^{2}$ $^{4}$P and S IV 3 s$^{2}$ 3p $^{2}$P- 3s 3p$^{2}$ $^{4}$ P intercombination lines around 1400 Å observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) provide ...
