An image-based approach to the reconstruction of ancient architectures by extracting and arranging 3D spatial components

The objective of this research is the rapid reconstruction of ancient buildings of historical importance using a single image. The key idea of our approach is to reduce the infinite solutions that might otherwise arise when recovering a 3D geometry from 2D photographs. The main outcome of our research shows that the proposed methodology can be used to reconstruct ancient monuments for use as proxies for digital effects in applications such as tourism, games, and entertainment, which do not require very accurate modeling. In this article, we consider the reconstruction of ancient Mughal architecture including the Taj Mahal. We propose a modeling pipeline that makes an easy reconstruction possible using a single photograph taken from a single view, without the need to create complex point clouds from multiple images or the use of laser scanners. First, an initial model is automatically reconstructed using locally fitted planar primitives along with their boundary polygons and the adjacency relation among parts of the polygons. This approach is faster and more accurate than creating a model from scratch because the initial reconstruction phase provides a set of structural information together with the adjacency relation, which makes it possible to estimate the approximate depth of the entire structural monument. Next, we use manual extrapolation and editing techniques with modeling software to assemble and adjust different 3D components of the model. Thus, this research opens up the opportunity for the present generation to experience remote sites of architectural and cultural importance through virtual worlds and real-time mobile applications. Variations of a recreated 3D monument to represent an amalgam of various cultures are targeted for future work.     

Critical parameters near the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition in La0.67–xYxBa0.23Ca0.1MnO3 compounds（x=0.10 and x=0.15）

The critical properties of the mixed manganite La0.67–x Y x Ba0.23Ca0.1Mn O3 with x=0.10 and x=0.15 around the paramagnetic(PM)-ferromagnetic(FM) phase transition were investigated through various techniques. These involved modified Arrott plots, Kouvel-Fisher method and Widom scaling relation. Magnetic data, analyzed in the critical region, using the above methods, yielded the critical exponents for(x=0.10) La0.57Y0.10Ba0.23Ca0.1Mn O3(β=0.312±0.002 and γ=1.147±0.003 at T C=299.23±0.05 K). Moreover, the estimated critical exponents of(x=0.15) La0.52Y0.15Ba0.23Ca0.1Mn O3 were β=0.286±0.004 and γ=0.943±0.002 at T C=289.53±0.06 K. The critical exponents’ values were close to the theoretical values of 3D-Ising model and tricritical mean-field model. These results suggested that the present composition should be close to a tricritical point in the La0.67–x Y x Ba0.23Ca0.1Mn O3 phase diagram. Expressing the field dependence as ΔS M∝H n allowed us to establish a relationship between the exponent n and the critical exponents of the material and to propose a phenomenological universal curve for the field dependence of ΔS M.     

网络搭着磁悬浮脱"平"

在这个泛偶像的时代,有太多风采照人、气质高雅的“星”和学富五车、雄韬伟略的“家”,他们固然值得仰望和崇拜；但是,这也是一个反偶像的时代,当正统的“偶像文化”被推到极致后,许多人产生“审美疲劳”,他们开始有意识地颠覆传统,告别英雄、躲避崇高。“芙蓉姐姐”的出现和风起云涌正是如此：“她颠覆了理想型偶像的高大全假大空,掏出大众心中的真、小乃至庸常的一面,甚至以反讽、自嘲的面目出现。”殊途同归的是,在民众的集体狂欢之后,所谓的反偶像,最终又走上了炮制偶像的路子——在博客江湖,一切成为平民的现实：一个渺小的,甚至和明星毫无关联的     

热处理对Ti-Mo-V-Nb-Al合金微观结构的影响

形状记忆合金由于其优良的超弹性和形状记忆效应而在医学上有着广泛的应用，其中由于NiTi形状记忆合金相较其它形状记忆合金具有更好的超弹性和生物相容性而得到了广泛的应用。但由于镍元素的毒性，使得开发一种生物相容性更好、无镍且具有良好力学性能的形状记忆合金成为必需。Ti-Mo-V-Nb-Al五元合金就是为此而开发的一种新型形状记忆合金。本研究用X射线衍射（XRD）、透射电子显微镜（TEM）和高分辨电子显微镜（HREM）研究了不同热处理条件对Ti-Mo-V-Nb-Al形状记忆合金微观结构的影响。

气垫式调压室及其在压缩空气能量蓄存方面的应用

挪威独有的高压气垫式调压室是坚硬岩石洞室中压缩空气能量蓄存的极好的先例，在供电不能满足峰荷需求的电站，这一技术正引起极大的关注。从气垫空气损失获得的经验表明，在大多数情况下不衬砌洞室都适用于压缩空气的密闭，只有少数情况时需采取修补措施以减少空气损失。业已证明，水幕是控制空气损失的最有效的方法。

可替代石磨水洗的经纱染色和匹染

1　引言石磨水洗牛仔布的成本是非常高的 ,但由于客户喜欢陈旧、磨损的外观 ,所以这种高成本又是十分必要的。那么 ,如何将这么高的成本降下来呢 ?通常的做法是把工厂转移到劳动力低廉的发展中国家。如果有着悠久历史的纺织品公司因为劳动力成本较高而不再具有竞争力 ,他们将不得不寻找另外一种可替代石磨水洗而同样能获得满意外观的方法。这是一种似乎对于我们具有实际意义的想法 ,它似乎具有逻辑性又很合理 ,但是这可能吗 ?当然 ,这种方法必须工艺简单 ,保证附加成本较低 ;必须可连续生产 ,以保证产量较高 ;必须可在常规设备上采用现有工…
