The one apparent connection between the two is a score of buildings which somehow or other have survived and which naturally enough are called `` historical monuments ''.

The central concern of Erich Auerbach's impressive volume called Mimesis is to describe the shift from a classic theory of imitation ( based upon a recognition of levels of truth ) to a Christian theory of imitation in which the levels are dissolved.

To this end political authority is called upon to exercise its negative and coercive powers.

Even when he is called upon for impromptu remarks, he has notes written on the back of handy envelopes.

Within this frame of reference policies appropriate to claims advanced in the name of the Jews depend upon which Jewish identity is involved, as well as upon the nature of the claim, the characteristics of the claimant, the justifications proposed, and the predispositions of the community decision makers who are called upon to act.

Therefore, what we must prove or disprove is that there were Saxons, in the broad sense in which we must construe the word, in the area of the Saxon Shore at the time it was called the Saxon Shore.

The work as it stands is not the entire book that Malraux wrote at that time -- it is only the first section of a three-part novel called La Lutte avec l'Ange ; ;

And by a skillful and unobtrusive use of imagery ( the enclosure is called a `` Roman-camp stockade '', the hastily erected lean-to is a `` Babylonian hovel '', the men begin to look like `` Peruvian mummies '' and to acquire `` Gothic faces '' ), Malraux projects a fresco of human endurance -- which is also the endurance of the human -- stretching backward into the dark abyss of time.

His very honest act called up the recent talk I had with another minister, a modest Methodist, who said: `` I feel so deeply blessed by God when I can give a message of love and comfort to other men, and I would have it no other way: and it is unworthy to think of self.

RCA Victor has an ambitious and useful project in a stereo series called `` Adventures In Music '', which is an instructional record library for elementary schools.

Where then is the sound planning and cooperation between agencies within the community that you have called for in other editorials??

The `` fruitful course '' of metropolitanization that you recommend is currently practiced by the town of East Greenwich and had its inception long before we learned what it was called.

Here, then, is what Swift would have called a modest proposal by way of a beginning.

The Act further provides for a `` floor '' or minimum allotment, set at the 1954 level, which is called the `` base '' allotment, and a `` ceiling '' or maximum allotment, for each State.

And, given probable public attitudes -- about which reasonably good estimates can be made -- what action is called for to insure necessary support??

Cathy J. Hanover ( Tar Heel-Kaola Hanover ), formerly called Karet Hanover, has been rather a problem child, but is getting better all the while and can pace a twice around in about 2:31.

Ordinary politeness may have militated against this opinion being stated so badly but anyone with a wide acquaintance in both groups and who has sat through the many round tables, workshops or panel discussions -- whatever they are called -- on this subject will recognize that the final, boiled down crux of the matter is education.

This meeting was called to determine how these groups might cooperate to launch what is known as the Outdoor Education Project.

Sixty miles north of New York City where the wooded hills of Dutchess County meet the broad sweep of the Hudson River there is a new home development called `` Oakwood Heights ''.

At the same time, however, I availed myself of the services of that great English actor and master of make-up, Sir Gauntley Pratt, to do a `` quickie '' called The Mystery of the Mad Marquess, in which I played a young American girl who inherits a haunted castle on the English moors which is filled with secret passages and sliding panels and, unbeknownst to anyone, is still occupied by an eccentric maniac.

I called the other afternoon on my old friend, Graves Moreland, the Anglo-American literary critic -- his mother was born in Ohio -- who lives alone in a fairy-tale cottage on the Upson Downs, raising hell and peacocks, the former only when the venerable gentleman becomes an angry old man about the state of literature or something else that is dwindling and diminishing, such as human stature, hope, and humor.

Therefore, four loose families of more-efficient light transport modelling techniques have emerged: rasterization, including scanline rendering, geometrically projects objects in the scene to an image plane, without advanced optical effects ; ray casting considers the scene as observed from a specific point-of-view, calculating the observed image based only on geometry and very basic optical laws of reflection intensity, and perhaps using Monte Carlo techniques to reduce artifacts ; and ray tracing is similar to ray casting, but employs more advanced optical simulation, and usually uses Monte Carlo techniques to obtain more realistic results at a speed that is often orders of magnitude slower.

For these reasons, rasterization is usually the approach of choice when interactive rendering is required ; however, the pixel-by-pixel approach can often produce higher-quality images and is more versatile because it does not depend on as many assumptions about the image as rasterization.

The older form of rasterization is characterized by rendering an entire face ( primitive ) as a single color.

This version of rasterization has overtaken the old method as it allows the graphics to flow without complicated textures ( a rasterized image when used face by face tends to have a very block-like effect if not covered in complex textures ; the faces are not smooth because there is no gradual color change from one primitive to the next ).

PostScript is noteworthy for implementing on-the fly rasterization ; everything, even text, is specified in terms of straight lines and cubic Bézier curves ( previously found only in CAD applications ), which allows arbitrary scaling, rotating and other transformations.

This is the concept of " rasterization ", the process of converting a visual image into a stream of electrical pulses.

Moreover, it is usual to specify the dimensions in device-independent units, which results in the best possible rasterization on raster devices.

Maybe this section should be removed, because Z-buffering isn't an algorithm to contrast with -- rather it is an augmentation to scanline rasterization.

Rasterisation ( or rasterization ) is the task of taking an image described in a vector graphics format ( shapes ) and converting it into a raster image ( pixels or dots ) for output on a video display or printer, or for storage in a bitmap file format.

Compared with other rendering techniques such as ray tracing, rasterization is extremely fast.

However, rasterization is simply the process of computing the mapping from scene geometry to pixels and does not prescribe a particular way to compute the color of those pixels.

The final step in the traditional rasterization process is to fill in the 2D triangles that are now in the image plane.

Since it is difficult to know that the rasterization engine will draw all pixels from front to back, there must be some way of ensuring that pixels close to the viewer are not overwritten by pixels far away.

There is also often an ambient light value that is added to all final lighting calculations to arbitrarily compensate for global illumination effects which rasterization can not calculate correctly.

Each time x is increased, the error is increased by the slope ; if it exceeds 0. 5, the rasterization y is increased by 1 ( the line continues on the next lower row of the raster ) and the error is decremented by 1. 0.

More than a beautiful visualization of the illustrious adventures and escapades of the tragi-comic knight-errant and his squire, Sancho Panza, in seventeenth-century Spain, this inevitably abbreviated rendering of the classic satire on chivalry is an affectingly warm and human exposition of character.

* Giuseppe Barzilai goes back for explanation to the first verse of the prayer attributed to Rabbi Nehunya ben HaKanah, the literal rendering of which is “ O, with thy mighty right hand deliver the unhappy ,” forming from the initial and final letters of the words the word Abrakd ( pronounced Abrakad ), with the meaning “ the host of the winged ones ,” i. e., angels.

The insignia of Apollo 16 is dominated by rendering of an American eagle and a red, white and blue shield, representing the people of the United States, overlaying a gray background, the lunar surface.

The mental ray engine was included in rendering and therefore it is possible to do quality renderings.

" The review went on to state that " The heart of the production, in both senses, is Judi Dench's superb Desiree Armfeldt ... Her husky-voiced rendering of " Send in the Clowns " is the most moving I've ever heard.

During winter, fast ice, which is attached to the shoreline, develops first, rendering the ports unusable without the services of icebreakers.

* In The Simpsons episode " Homer at the Bat ", Homer Simpson is hit in the head by a pitch while playing for the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team, rendering him unconscious, but forcing in the winning run.

Bar-Hebraeus identified Ahasuerus explicitly as Artaxerxes II ; however, the names are not necessarily equivalent: Hebrew has a form of the name Artaxerxes distinct from Ahasuerus, and a direct Greek rendering of Ahasuerus is used by both Josephus and the Septuagint for occurrences of the name outside the Book of Esther.

Instead, the Hebrew name Ahasuerus accords with an inscription of the time that notes that Artaxerxes II was named also Arshu, understood as a shortening of Achshiyarshu the Babylonian rendering of the Persian Khshayarsha ( Xerxes ), through which the Hebrew Achashverosh ( Ahasuerus ) is derived.

The internal rendering of all Bézier curves in font or vector graphics renderers will split them recursively up to the point where the curve is flat enough to be drawn as a series of linear or circular segments.

They write: " Thus, according to that alternate rendering, the new birth originates ' from above '— that is, ' from heaven ,' or ' from the Father.

" But while adhering to the underlying principle that some boundary is necessary, MacPherson overruled the prior common law by rendering the formerly dominant factor in the boundary, that is, the privity formality arising out of a contractual relationship between persons, totally irrelevant.

A notable example of this is the way OpenGL treats the video card of a computer as a server, with the actual application making rendering requests to it.

The data contained in the scene file is then passed to a rendering program to be processed and output to a digital image or raster graphics image file.

A GPU is a purpose-built device able to assist a CPU in performing complex rendering calculations.

If a scene is to look relatively realistic and predictable under virtual lighting, the rendering software should solve the rendering equation.

The rendering equation doesn't account for all lighting phenomena, but is a general lighting model for computer-generated imagery.

Pre-rendering is a computationally intensive process that is typically used for movie creation, while real-time rendering is often done for 3D video games which rely on the use of graphics cards with 3D hardware accelerators.

When the pre-image ( a wireframe sketch usually ) is complete, rendering is used, which adds in bitmap textures or procedural textures, lights, bump mapping and relative position to other objects.
