Giorgio Vasari's opinions about the art of painting come through in his praise of fellow artists in the great book that lay behind this frontispiece: he believed that excellence in painting demanded refinement, richness of invention ( invenzione ), expressed through virtuoso technique ( maniera ), and wit and study that appeared in the finished work, all criteria that emphasized the artist's intellect and the patron's sensibility.

The method as currently promoted has been reduced to 18 to 20 hours through an apparent refinement of technique.

Modular programming ( also known as top down design and stepwise refinement ) is a software design technique that increases the extent to which software is composed of separate, interchangeable components called modules by breaking down program functions into modules, each of which accomplishes one function and contains everything necessary to accomplish this.

The limit surface can also be calculated directly for most subdivision surfaces using the technique of Jos Stam, which eliminates the need for recursive refinement.

The polysemous word ars in the title is not, then, to be translated coldly as ' technique ', but here really means ' art ' in the sense of civilized refinement.

DGGE was the original technique, and TGGE a refinement of it.

He established the Berkeley Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics Group with Christopher McKee to develop the technique of adaptive mesh refinement for numerical simulations of astrophysical fluid dynamics.

SLAM uses a technique called counterexample-guided abstraction refinement, which uses progressively better models of the program under test.

She is the most beautiful thing you ever laid eyes on, and her dancing has a feminine suavity, lightness, sparkle, and refinement which are simply incomparable.

* Special equipment for locating hostile artillery: flash spotting and notably sound ranging appeared in World War I the latter has been undergone increasing refinement as technology has improved.

# Every filter on X has a convergent refinement.

Several competing models, although correctly dealing with the conformation of each individual peptide chain, gave way to the triple-helical " Madras " model, which provided an essentially correct model of the molecule's quaternary structure although this model still required some refinement .< ref > The packing structure of collagen has not been defined to the same degree outside of the fibrillar collagen types, although it has been long known to be hexagonal or quasi-hexagonal.

Your masters the leaders of the Revolution, who are his scholars, conceive that all refinement has an aristocratic character.

In time, thanks to the refinement of geology, it has been demonstrated that there were several periods of glacial advance and retreat and that past temperatures on Earth were very different from today.

Up until the 1990s, SLR was the most advanced photographic preview system available, but the recent development and refinement of digital imaging technology with an on-camera live LCD preview screen has overshadowed SLR's popularity.

There has also been a qualitative shift in the Personnel in the armed services, with expert instruction being brought in from around the world, refinement of local military training institutions and the increase in standards across the armed forces.

Recent research has placed the last common ancestor of all existing populations as living in Asia 11 million years ago, which may lead to revision and refinement of existing ideas about cheetah evolution.

In mathematics, a paracompact space is a topological space in which every open cover has an open refinement that is locally finite.

This has fuelled the establishment of many independent effects houses, a tremendous degree of refinement of existing techniques, and the development of new techniques such as CGI.

The guqin has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favored by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement.

In an attempt to avoid using any additional out-of-band authentication factors, Davies and Price proposed the use of the Interlock Protocol of Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, which has been subject to both attack and subsequent refinement.

The non-linear problem has no closed-form solution and is usually solved by iterative refinement ; at each iteration the system is approximated by a linear one, thus the core calculation is similar in both cases.

Another departure is a modification, if not a refinement, of the grid structure Martin has used since the late 1950s.

The VDM community prefers the word " reification " over " refinement ", as the process has more to do with concretising an idea than with refining it.

OGSA has been described as a refinement of the emerging Web Services architecture, specifically designed to support Grid requirements.

An important part of the theory has been devoted to revealing patterns of evolution and one of the objectives which has been pursued by leading practitioners of TRIZ has been the development of an algorithmic approach to the invention of new systems, and the refinement of existing ones.
