Payne's work on the Acropolis has given us a new picture of early Attic sculpture—a fresh and dewy garland, one of the finest flowers of which is his revelation of the personality of a supreme artist, the creator of the peplos Kore 679, the Rampin rider, the head 654 (Payne, Archaic Marble Sculpture from the Acropolis, pls. 11, 11a–c, 29–33, 133) and—πρὸς δὲ τόδε μέγα θαῦμα: the finest of all archaic Attic reliefs, the diskophoros Nat. Mus. 38. This last work is not included in Payne's list: and so, convinced though I am that the mere mention of this attribution is sufficient to establish it, I am bound to offer arguments in its support.Let us compare it with the work which stands chronologically closest to it, the head 654. We must keep in mind that, at that period, a relief was not simply a projection on the slab of the side view of the body, but a free composition of the side and front view. We must therefore compare all the aspects of the head 654 in turn with the diskophoros.

Liposomes are small artificial vesicles of lipid bilayer, wich enclose and are surrounded by water. Morphological transformations in liposomes, starting from a spherical shape, due to changes in the osmotic pressure, have been described in the literature. The first transformation is into a circular biconcave form, afterwards the biconcave side view is maintained, while the front view reveals transformations into elliptical or regular polygonal forms, usually triangular, square or pentagonal. Finite elasticity and the theory of thin shells were used to analyse the behavior of the liposomes under decreasing volume. The biological membrane was considered as a two dimensional fluid layer, exhibiting solid properties to some extent, e.g., elasticity. The stability of the liposmes was studied by using the method of elastic perturbation to obtain the critical pressure for the biconcave transformation and the long liposome tubes. The transformations to elliptical and regular polygonal forms were studied using the linear stability equations of elasticity.

Video denoising is an important task to enhance video quality in many applications. The recently proposed Polyview Fusion (PVF) is one of the best methods that significantly improves results by applying 2-D denoising algorithm to multiple views (front, top and side views) and fusing the denoised results into one. In general, denoised result in smooth content is better than that in texture content; and if there is no significant motion in the video signal, the top or side view is mainly consisted of smooth content. Based on it, a new fusion method is proposed. Three denoised results are transformed into top or side views. And then they are divided into different regions and given different weights based on local features. After fusion and transformation, it obtains the final front view result. Experimental results confirm the better performance of the proposed method for the video sequences without significant amount of rapid motion.

This study examines the effects of sentence perception across three speaker viewing angles: front view (0°), quarter view (45°), and side view (90°). The performance of a female adult with postlingual hearing loss was measured for accuracy at each angle. The present study used a single-subject, alternating treatment design where three treatment angles were randomly presented in every session. The percentage accuracy levels for each session were compared to determine the most effective treatment viewing angle of the speaker. The results indicated that the side-view angle was most effective, as the percentage gain of improvement was greatest in combination with the consistent upward trend of the data points across treatment sessions. The performance at front-view and quarter-view angles was also successful. The results of this preliminary effort indicate the value of treatment for visual sentence perception at all three angles, including the nontraditionally targeted side view.

This paper deals with the problem of circle formation by multiple autonomous robots on emergent approach. The robots in question are simple, having fan-shaped local vision consisting of three areas to detect three states in each area – whether the number of robots in an area is zero, one, or more than one. We suggest heuristic action decision rule having robots form a circle stochastically. Using computer simulation, we make it clear that view angles of the local vision and the number of robots in the arena affect circle forming process, and that the certainty of circle formation is high enough if robots have certain view angles. We describe that view angles control the distance between robots using kinematic view. The keys to designing robots to form a circle are the front-view angle for making virtual attraction force toward one robot, and the side-view angle for making equilibrium of virtual force toward two robots.
