Scheliha was born in Zessel, Oels, Silesia (now Cie\u015ble, Gmina Ole\u015bnica, Poland), as the daughter of Prussian aristocrat and officer Rudolph von Scheliha. Her mother was a daughter of the Prussian Minister of Finance Johann von Miquel. Her older brother by four years was the diplomat and resistance fighter Rudolf von Scheliha who was executed in December 1942 by the Nazis on a charge of being a member of the Red Orchestra Scheliha was educated by private tutors and in 1925 passed her Abitur as an external student at the Matthias Gymnasium in Wroc\u0142aw. She then studied Sanskrit in Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where she became interested in the poet Stefan George who was introduced to her by Maria Fehling, the daughter of the mayor of L\u00fcbeck, Emil Ferdinand Fehling.

But she also writes her own verses\". In 1931 she was awarded the title of D.Phil in classics at the University of Wroc\u0142aw with a thesis called \"The water boundary in ancient times\" (Die Wassergrenze im Altertum), studying water borders in Egypt, Greece and the countries of the Roman Empire. Career. In 1931 von Scheliha was employed to catalogue the Sanskrit library at the University of Wroc\u0142aw. Later that year she moved to Berlin. Between 1931 and 1939 she earned a meagre livelihood working as a tour guide and lecturer in museums as well as offering evening courses at Lessing University, an adult education institution. Through the jurist, poet and historian , she came into contact with the discussion group around Stefan George and befriended the philosopher Edith Landmann and the writer Ernst Morwitz, among others.

In 1933 von Scheliha gave up her intention to habilitate at Goethe University Frankfurt after the seizure of power by the Nazis, to which she was opposed. In 1934, her second book, on Dion of Syracuse was published. In this, she referred to Dion's position at the court of his predecessors in Syracuse, his triumph, doom and glory. She emphasized \"the state importance of Platonic philosophy\" and declared: \"Only from the creative forces of the spirit was to re-establish state order\". Over the next four years von Scheliha worked on a translation of On the Sublime, which was published in 1938. Due to the worsening of the political situation, she accepted Edith Landmann's invitation to move to Basel in August 1939, where she would spend 5 years with her close friend Landmann and their common friend, the art historian and poet Gertrud Kantorowicz.

The German Jewish poet Karl Wolfskehl called it the \"most vivid, endearing, most tense and almost maternally cleverest book about Homer and the first world of Greekism\". In fact, in the 418-page book, she not only addressed the title character, but also developed \"Thoughts on Homer's Poetry and Figures\" according to the subtitle. Von Scheliha objected to the \"dismembered method\" of recent research, which had \"lost the understanding of all the essentials of a poem\", had \"suffocated every effect of the poet\", and wanted instead to find the \"being of the poet\".

Two major analysts have emerged. Manoru Tonami studied the rubbings and published in Japanese, to be translated by P.A. Herbert. Meir Shahar had the advantage of being able to study the stele embedded in the brick structure before the Bell Tower. He published in the first decade of the 21st century. Some of his works are cited below. Pei Cui's composition of the inscriptional material presents in English something of a semantic problem. Ordinarily the engraving of writing on one object for one purpose, without later additions, is termed \"an inscription\" or \"the inscription.\" Strictly speaking, since everything on Shaolinsi Bei was done at one time for the same purpose, it is one inscription. Many examples of multi-page single inscriptions exist, such as the Gortyn Law Code. Pei Cui, however, chose to publish a number of different documents composed at different times, to be enclosed with his own history of the monastery. Tonami approached this problem as follows: \"...its four principal inscriptions reproduce several documents from the 720's ...,\" which was promptly misconstrued as four inscriptions on Internet summaries. \"Principal\" was condensed away, but if it were left in, the implication is that multiple"}, {"text": "inscriptions existed on possibly multiple steles. The exact number apparently had still not been determined. Verellen, Tonami's reviewer, says: \"The final inscription ... is again a composite document.\" Now apparently the stele recorded documents within four inscriptions that contained multiple inscriptions. Some way needed to be found to describe Pei Cui's composition with simplicity and accuracy. Chinese steles customarily incorporated previously existing documents in just this way. Shahar's solution to the semantic problem begins with the \"document,\" a previously composed piece published first in some other medium. Engraved later on a stele, it is a \"text.\" Texts are inscriptions, one for one. Shaolinsi Bei has seven texts, or seven inscriptions, dating from 621 to 728. They were public records of the military support the Shaolin Monastery had provided Li Shimin. They demonstrate that the monastery was in favor with the early Tang emperors at a time when other religious organisations were being curtailed. This favor derived from their participation in battles, whether or not they had the skills attributed to \"the fighting monks.\" The arrangement of the sections below is based on Shahar's arrangement of the \"texts.\" The whole space consists of two surfaces shaped like arched doorways. At the"}, {"text": "top of the arch, both front and back, is a rectangle called by Verellen a \"dragon Apex\" because framed with the coils of a dragon in relief.

Shahar starts his study with \"the last years of the Daye ... reign period (605\u2013616).\" That is not, however, where Pei Cui begins. Going as far back as the foundation of the monastery, Pei Cui records simply that Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei (467-499, died at 32) founded it.

The testimony of the stele thus offers some counter-intuitive results. One might expect that the founder of an institution considered characteristically Chinese, located in the spiritual heart of China, to have been a Chinese emperor of the most civilized period.

Dartmoor gained national park status in 1951 but the designated area of extends beyond the upland of Dartmoor itself to include much of the surrounding land, particularly in the northeast. The geology of the national park consists of a core of granite intruded during the early Permian period into a sequence of sedimentary rocks originating in the Devonian and Carboniferous periods. These rocks were faulted and folded, sometimes, intensely, during the Variscan orogeny. Thermal metamorphism has also taken place around the margins of the granite pluton altering the character of the sedimentary rocks whilst mineral veins were emplaced within the granite. A small outlier of Palaeogene sediments occurs on the eastern boundary of the national park. The area was not subject to glaciation during the Quaternary ice ages but periglacial processes have contributed to the character of the modern landscape.

Detail of the depositional basins. Those sedimentary basins relevant to Dartmoor's story are i) the South Devon Basin, the rocks formed within which now stretch around the southern margins of the national park from Padstow via Plymouth to Torquay, ii) the Tavy Basin stretching from Tintagel through Tavistock to Newton Abbot and iii) the Culm Basin which corresponds to the whole of mid Devon.

The Greystone Nappe is formed from numerous formations of Carboniferous age. This nappe has been over-ridden in turn by the Blackdown Nappe consisting of the Bealsmill Formation.

Within the Dartmoor outcrop as a whole there are numerous isolated pockets of finer granite, particularly in the area north of Burrator Reservoir and in the valley of the Dart below Dartmeet. The heat of the granite mass at the time of its emplacement has created a metamorphic aureole affecting the country rocks around it, altering their character by thermal metamorphism leading to the creation of hornfelsed metasediments. A variety of radiometric dating techniques place mineralisation as seen at the Birch Tor and Vitifer tin mines at around 277 Ma b.p. Geological evidence such as the occurrence of fragments of volcanic rocks geochemically associated with the batholith, found redeposited in the Crediton Trough suggests that the pluton had been \u2018unroofed\u2019 by the later Permian period.

Her art is held in the permanent collections of a number of public institutions. Biography. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee to Salvadoran parents and was raised in Managua, Nicaragua. She moved to El Salvador before migrating to New Orleans as a teenager. She received a BFA degree from Louisiana State University and an MFA degree from West Virginia University. Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda taught at Southern Oregon University, Cornell University, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 2011, she became a professor of art in the Printmedia Area at Western Michigan University's Gwen Frostic School of Art, where she also held the position of director in 2010\u20132011. Work. In her early works, Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda explored issues of transnational identity through printmaking and its conceptual strategies such as doubling, repetition, and mimesis. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, she combined printmaking techniques and printed on unconventional supports as part of installation works that also incorporated sound and video. One example of this is the 1997 multimedia installation \"Reciprocity~Reciprocidad,\" which included serigraphs on canvas, wood, medical tubing"}, {"text": "and sound equipment, and is part of the \"Terremoto-Earthquake\" series. Dr. Kency Cornejo, a scholar of contemporary and modern Latin American art history with emphasis on Central America and its diaspora writes the following about Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda's work: \"The destruction brought on by colliding plates becomes a metaphor for the catastrophic collision of worlds, cultures, and political interests in Central American history. Villalobos further connects this political collision to her own experiences of identity and displacement and of being in between cultures.\" In fact, all the works in the \"Terremoto-Earthquake\" series depict her body. In a review of \"De lo que soy/Of What I Am\", a survey exhibition of contemporary self-portraiture by 22 women of Latin American or Caribbean descent, The New York Times art critic Holland Cotter writes: \"In Patricia Villalobos Echeverria's photographic 'Terremotto-Earthquake Series,' the artist's face appears, but only as a half-obscured symbolic element.\" According to Cornejo, \"Villalobos\u2019s art contains a direct embodiment of memory that some artists use as a metaphor for both the corporal and geographic topography of Central America.\" By 2004, Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda was producing multichannel video installations using EPS foam as the substrate onto which video was projected. Art historian and critic Kristina"}, {"text": "Olson describes the 2005 installation \"Hoverings\" as involving \"two videos projected from opposite corners of a gallery onto a suspended, white, two-lobed orb made of EPS foam.\" One video focused on a close-up of the artist's body drifting in an ocean surf, while the other placed the body in a field of snow. In conversation with Kristina Olson, Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda states: \"The hovering body was not only dislocated from geography but also involved in a kind of autopoiesis, suggesting the possibility or potential for self-creation.\" This is conceptually tied to the physical properties of EPS foam being a thermoplastic and moldable material capable of changing from solid to viscous liquid when heated above a certain temperature becoming solid again when cooled. In 2009, Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda produced the site-specific installation \"Parasite (40\u00b027\u201925\u201dN 80\u00b000\u201948\u201dW)\" at the Mattress Factory, described by Pittsburgh City Paper art critic Melissa Kuntz as consisting of \"seamlessly crafted white foam 'parasites,' installed to look as though they have infested one room's walls.\" The cell-like forms intervened the architectural site and protruded from the walls as appendages, alluding to contaminants and disease as much as intrusion, camouflage and occupied territories.

In this case, the artist intervened the fa\u00e7ade and interior of the Centro Contempor\u00e1neo Wilfredo Lam in Havana, Cuba with hundredths of EPS foam sculptures combined with a sound component. This work \"takes on limitless resonances in the Cuban context,\" writes art critic and curator Clara Astiasar\u00e1n, \"for it emerges as/appears in a tacitly harmless form, but its effects provoke suspicious thought and/or action in the face of the unknown.\" She describes the work as a series of protuberances that arise out of the pink-painted wall, \"taking capricious but essentially ovoid forms, whose 'aestheticity' and their flirtatiousness toward feminine and/or maternal signs, conceal the violence of their invasiveness.\" Astiasar\u00e1n goes on to describe the sound as discreet, yet insistent and unsettling.

Unlike her early works, here the body is not hers and it is not a single body, signaling a shift from the individual experience to a collective one. The conceptual language of printmaking continues to be at the core of Villalobos Echeverr\u00eda's practice, such as the doubling in the \"Marea\" series, the replication of sculptural forms in site-specific installations, and ideas of dissemination and exchange in socially-engaged projects. Since 2014, she has produced participatory works that employ storytelling and shared rides in an attempt to examine collective spaces through personal histories of displacement and migration.

Further, the anterior process of the jugal beneath the eye is notably taller in \"K. yajuwayeyi\" than in \"K. kitchingi\", despite the only known skull of the former being slightly compressed.

Specimens of \"Kembawacela\" were first discovered and collected in the 1960s by Alan Drysdall and James Kitching in the Luangwa Basin of Zambia. They reported discovering at least 13 specimens that they preliminarily assigned to \"Cistecephalus microrhinus\" and the now synonymous \"C. planiceps\". Four of these specimens were identified in the collections of the Evolutionary Studies Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, although a possible fifth specimen originally noted by Kitching has since been lost. The specimens were later suggested to belong to a new species of \"Cistcephalus\" in an unpublished BSc honours thesis by Freeman in 1993. Further examinations and the discovery of an additional four specimens proposed that the Luangwa cistecephalid was an entirely new genus. In 2019, the taxon was formally described in detail and named Kembawacela kitchingi by Kenneth Angielczyk, Julien Benoit and Bruce Rubidge.

The species was named to honour James Kitching, who collected the first specimens of \"Kembawacela\". The specimens were collected from various different localities in the Luangwa Basin, but were all from the upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation. This formation is believed to overlap in time with the \"Cistecephalus\" Assemblage Zone (AZ) and \"Daptocephalus\" AZ of the Karoo Basin in South Africa, which have been dated to the Wuchiapingian to early Changhsingian in the Late Permian. The specimens are housed at both the Evolutionary Studies Institute in South Africa and at the National Heritage Conservation Commission in Lusaka, Zambia. In 2016, a cistecephalid skull (DMMM-PK-16-1) was found encased in a rock nodule during exploration of the Chiweta Beds in the Mount Waller Area of Northern Malawi. Due its small size and delicate nature, the examination of the specimen was performed using x-ray microtomography to image the bones inside the rock matrix.

The authors named the species in honour of their friend Dr. Yusuf Juwayeyi, an accomplished archaeologist, professor, and international representative of Malawian research. The species name combines the surname Juwayeyi with \"Ya-\", the possessive prefix in the Chichewa language. The skull is mostly complete, missing only the tip of the snout, its left zygomatic arch and postorbital bar behind the eye, and parts of the occiput. Classification. \"Kembawacela\" is well supported as a member of the family Cistecephalidae in the phylogenetic analysis of Angielczyk \"et al.\" (2019), where it was found as a relatively basal member of the clade: \"Kembawacela\" is primarily distinguished from other cistecephalids by its tusks, but can also be uniquely diagnosed by a trough on the underside of the vomer and an interparietal bone with paired extensions that reach up from the back of the skull to flank the pineal foramen. There are also various other slight differences of the skull and skeleton between it and other cistecephalids. Palaeobiology. It is possible that \"Kembawacela\" was sexually dimorphic, as two of the seven known specimens appear to have lacked tusks. Notably, one of these specimens"}, {"text": "is the largest known individual, implying that the lack of tusks was not due to it not being fully grown yet. Sexual dimorphism is known from other cistecephalids, such as the prominent ridges over the eyes in \"Cistecephalus\", and although \"Kembawacela\" lacks those traits the presence or absence of tusks is suggested to be an indicator of sexual dimorphism more broadly in dicynodonts. Unfortunately, the relatively small sample size means this possibility cannot be statistically analysed. The tusks of \"Kembawacela\" are also notable as one specimen preserves unerupted tusks within the jaw bones. There is no evidence that these tusks are replacements of a previous pair (as has been suggested to occur in \"Diictodon\"), and another specimen with the inside of the jaw exposed preserves no such replacements either. The size of the specimen is comparable to the others, which would suggest that the tusks of \"Kembawacela\" may not have erupted until quite late in the animal's life, close to their mature body size. It's possible that this relatively late eruption of the tusks in \"Kembawacela\" was taken even further in other cistecephalids, where their development was suppressed and prevented entirely from erupting in the tuskless species.

The ulna, the only known bone from the forelimb, has the typically large olecranon process associated with scratch-digging found in other cistecephalids.

The large, forward facing eyes may be related to seeing in low-light environments, with binocular vision providing greater light sensitivity, although this is not typical of modern fossorial mammals which have small eyes (as in \"Cistecephaloides\" and \"Kawingasaurus\"). Interestingly, \"Kembawacela\" is the only known cistecephalid known to preserve pieces of the bony sclerotic ring surrounding the eye, and they are remarkably smaller than is suggested by the size of the orbits. However, they were too incompletely preserved to estimate the light sensitivity of the eyes. The footplates of the bony stapes are large, associated with hearing low-frequency sounds underground, although its inner-ear is not as specialised as \"Kawingasaurus\".

However, the presence of endemic species like \"Kembawacela\" are indicative of fine scale variations between the two localities, such as environmental differences. The fossorial lifestyle of \"Kembawacela\" and other cistecephalids is a likely factor in its endemism, as its unique ecology would have limited its ability to disperse and so restricted its range to within the Luangwa Basin.

Prince, is the vector field that is produced by a process that smooths and diffuses an input vector field. It is usually used to create a vector field from images that points to object edges from a distance. It is widely used in image analysis and computer vision applications for object tracking, shape recognition, segmentation, and edge detection. In particular, it is commonly used in conjunction with active contour model. Background. Finding objects or homogeneous regions in images is a process known as image segmentation. In many applications, the locations of object edges can be estimated using local operators that yield a new image called an edge map. The edge map can then be used to guide a deformable model, sometimes called an active contour or a snake, so that it passes through the edge map in a smooth way, therefore defining the object itself. A common way to encourage a deformable model to move toward the edge map is to take the spatial gradient of the edge map, yielding a vector field. Since the edge map has its highest intensities directly on the edge"}, {"text": "and drops to zero away from the edge, these gradient vectors provide directions for the active contour to move. When the gradient vectors are zero, the active contour will not move, and this is the correct behavior when the contour rests on the peak of the edge map itself. However, because the edge itself is defined by local operators, these gradient vectors will also be zero far away from the edge and therefore the active contour will not move toward the edge when initialized far away from the edge. Gradient vector flow (GVF) is the process that spatially extends the edge map gradient vectors, yielding a new vector field that contains information about the location of object edges throughout the entire image domain. GVF is defined as a diffusion process operating on the components of the input vector field. It is designed to balance the fidelity of the original vector field, so it is not changed too much, with a regularization that is intended to produce a smooth field on its output. Although GVF was designed originally for the purpose of segmenting objects using active contours attracted to edges, it has been since adapted and used for many alternative purposes."}, {"text": "Some newer purposes including defining a continuous medial axis representation, regularizing image anisotropic diffusion algorithms, finding the centers of ribbon-like objects, constructing graphs for optimal surface segmentations, creating a shape prior, and much more. Theory. The theory of GVF was originally described by Xu and Prince. Let formula_1 be an edge map defined on the image domain. For uniformity of results, it is important to restrict the edge map intensities to lie between 0 and 1, and by convention formula_1 takes on larger values (close to 1) on the object edges. The gradient vector flow (GVF) field is given by the vector field formula_3 that minimizes the energy functional In this equation, subscripts denote partial derivatives and the gradient of the edge map is given by the vector field formula_4. Figure 1 shows an edge map, the gradient of the (slightly blurred) edge map, and the GVF field generated by minimizing formula_5. Equation 1 is a variational formulation that has both a data term and a regularization term. The first term in the integrand is the data term. It encourages the solution formula_6 to closely agree with the gradients of the edge map since that will make formula_7 small. However,"}, {"text": "this only needs to happen when the edge map gradients are large since formula_7 is multiplied by the square of the length of these gradients. The second term in the integrand is a regularization term. It encourages the spatial variations in the components of the solution to be small by penalizing the sum of all the partial derivatives of formula_6. As is customary in these types of variational formulations, there is a regularization parameter formula_10 that must be specified by the user in order to trade off the influence of each of the two terms. If formula_11 is large, for example, then the resulting field will be very smooth and may not agree as well with the underlying edge gradients. Theoretical Solution. Finding formula_12 to minimize Equation 1 requires the use of calculus of variations since formula_12 is a function, not a variable. Accordingly, the Euler equations, which provide the necessary conditions for formula_6 to be a solution can be found by calculus of variations, yielding where formula_15 is the Laplacian operator. It is instructive to examine the form of the equations in (2). Each is a partial differential equation that the components formula_16 and formula_17 of formula_18 must satisfy."}, {"text": "If the magnitude of the edge gradient is small, then the solution of each equation is guided entirely by Laplace's equation, for example formula_19, which will produce a smooth scalar field entirely dependent on its boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are effectively provided by the locations in the image where the magnitude of the edge gradient is large, where the solution is driven to agree more with the edge gradients. Computational Solutions. There are two fundamental ways to compute GVF. First, the energy function formula_20 itself (1) can be directly discretized and minimized, for example, by gradient descent. Second, the partial differential equations in (2) can be discretized and solved iteratively. The original GVF paper used an iterative approach, while later papers introduced considerably faster implementations such as an octree-based method, a multi-grid method, and an augmented Lagrangian method. In addition, very fast GPU implementations have been developed in Extensions and Advances. GVF is easily extended to higher dimensions. The energy function is readily written in a vector form as which can be solved by gradient descent or by finding and solving its Euler equation. Figure 2 shows an illustration of a three-dimensional GVF field on the edge map of"}, {"text": "a simple object (see ). The data and regularization terms in the integrand of the GVF functional can also be modified. A modification described in , called \"generalized gradient vector flow\" (GGVF) defines two scalar functions and reformulates the energy as While the choices formula_21 and formula_22 reduce GGVF to GVF, the alternative choices formula_23 and formula_24, for formula_25 a user-selected constant, can improve the tradeoff between the data term and its regularization in some applications. The GVF formulation has been further extended to vector-valued images in where a weighted structure tensor of a vector-valued image is used. A learning based probabilistic weighted GVF extension was proposed in to further improve the segmentation for images with severely cluttered textures or high levels of noise. The variational formulation of GVF has also been modified in \"motion GVF\" (MGVF) to incorporate object motion in an image sequence. Whereas the diffusion of GVF vectors from a conventional edge map acts in an isotropic manner, the formulation of MGVF incorporates the expected object motion between image frames. An alternative to GVF called vector field convolution (VFC) provides many of the advantages of GVF, has superior noise robustness, and can be computed very fast. The"}, {"text": "VFC field formula_26 is defined as the convolution of the edge map formula_27 with a vector field kernel formula_28 (x,y) = f(x,y) * \\mathbf{k}(x,y) \\, where , \\frac{-y}{\\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \\right) & (x,y) \\neq (0,0) \\\\ (0,0) & \\mathrm{otherwise} \\end{array} \\right. The vector field kernel formula_29 has vectors that always point toward the origin but their magnitudes, determined in detail by the function formula_30, decrease to zero with increasing distance from the origin. The beauty of VFC is that it can be computed very rapidly using a fast Fourier transform (FFT), a multiplication, and an inverse FFT. The capture range can be large and is explicitly given by the radius formula_31 of the vector field kernel. A possible drawback of VFC is that weak edges might be overwhelmed by strong edges, but that problem can be alleviated by the use of a hybrid method that switches to conventional forces when the snake gets close to the boundary. Properties. GVF has characteristics that have made it useful in many diverse applications. It has already been noted that its primary original purpose was to extend a local edge field throughout the image domain, far away from the actual edge in many cases."}, {"text": "This property has been described as an extension of the \"capture range\" of the external force of an active contour model. It is also capable of moving active contours into concave regions of an object's boundary. These two properties are illustrated in Figure 3. Previous forces that had been used as external forces (based on the edge map gradients and simply related variants) required pressure forces in order to move boundaries from large distances and into concave regions. Pressure forces, also called balloon forces, provide continuous force on the boundary in one direction (outward or inward), and tend to have the effect of pushing through weak boundaries. GVF can often replace pressure forces and yield better performance in such situations. Because the diffusion process is inherent in the GVF solution, vectors that point in opposite directions tend to compete as they meet at a central location, thereby defining a type of geometric feature that is related to the boundary configuration, but not directly evident from the edge map. For example, \"perceptual edges\" are gaps in the edge map which tend to be connected visually by human perception. GVF helps to connect them by diffusing opposing edge gradient vectors across the"}, {"text": "gap; and even though there is no actual edge map, active contour will converge to the perceptual edge because the GVF vectors drive them there (see ). This property carries over when there are so-called \"weak edges\" identified by regions of edge maps having lower values. GVF vectors also meet in opposition at central locations of objects thereby defining a type of medialness. This property has been exploited as an alternative definition of the skeleton of objects and also as a way to initialize deformable models within objects such that convergence to the boundary is more likely. Applications. The most fundamental application of GVF is as an external force in a deformable model. A typical application considers an image formula_32 with an object delineated by intensity from its background. Thus, a suitable edge map formula_33 could be defined by (I(\\mathbf{x}) * G_{\\sigma}(\\mathbf{x}))|} \\, where formula_34 is a Gaussian blurring kernel with standard deviation formula_35 and formula_36 is convolution. This definition is applicable in any dimension and yields an edge map that falls in the range formula_37. Gaussian blurring is used primarily so that a meaningful gradient vector can always be computed, but formula_38 is generally kept fairly small so that"}, {"text": "true edge positions are not overly distorted. Given this edge map, the GVF vector field formula_39 can be computed by solving (2). The deformable model itself can be implemented in a variety of ways including parametric models such as the original snake or active surfaces and implicit models including geometric deformable models. In the case of parametric deformable models, the GVF vector field formula_18 can be used directly as the external forces in the model. If the deformable model is defined by the evolution of the (two-dimensional) active contour formula_41, then a simple parametric active contour evolution equation can be written as Here, the subscripts indicate partial derivatives and formula_42 and formula_43 are user-selected constants. In the case of geometric deformable models, then the GVF vector field formula_18 is first projected against the normal direction of the implicit wavefront, which defines an additional speed function. Accordingly, then the evolution of the signed distance function formula_45 defining a simple geometric deformable contour can be written as where formula_46 is the curvature of the contour and formula_43 is a user-selected constant. A more sophisticated deformable model formulation that combines the geodesic active contour flow with GVF forces was proposed in . This"}, {"text": "paper also shows how to apply the Additive Operator Splitting schema for rapid computation of this segmentation method. The uniqueness and existence of this combined model were proven in . A further modification of this model by using an external force term minimizing GVF divergence was proposed in to achieve even better segmentation for images with complex geometric objects. GVF has been used to find both inner, central, and central cortical surfaces in the analysis of brain images, as shown in Figure 4. The process first finds the inner surface using a three-dimensional geometric deformable model with conventional forces. Then the central surface is found by exploiting the central tendency property of GVF. In particular, the cortical membership function of the human brain cortex, derived using a fuzzy classifier, is used to compute GVF as if itself were a thick edge map. The computed GVF vectors point towards the center of the cortex and can then be used as external forces to drive the inner surface to the central surface. Finally, another geometric deformable model with conventional forces is used to drive the central surface to a position on the outer surface of the cortex.

Blizzard reversed its decision to launch new heroes on the battle pass with the start of Season 10 in April 2024, instead making new heroes free for all players. The existing heroes added from \"Overwatch 2\" launch to this point were also made available for all players, though those that had not yet unlocked them via the battle pass had to complete tutorial missions to unlock them fully. Blizzard experimented with bringing back six-on-six team combat, gauging the playerbase's response through limited-time tests during Season 14 in December 2024. Additionally, special \"Overwatch Classic\" limited-time events have featured six-on-six gameplay with the rosters, skill kits, and maps from various periods in \"Overwatch\"s history. Since Season 15, in February 2025, a 6v6 competitive mode has been available to further assess the players' response to this format.

Players earn experience points throughout a match, and can level up twice, getting to choose one of two perks with each level gained. Lead gameplay designer Alec Dawson said the idea behind perks was to avoid stagnation and allow the game to evolve instead of trying to achieve a perfect balance between all characters. Season 15 also reintroduced loot boxes, which can be earned through gameplay, the battle pass, weekly challenges, and other mechanisms. Loot boxes can contain nearly any of the previously released cosmetic items, excluding those featured in the current season's battle pass or limited-time promotions. To address concerns about gambling, loot boxes are not directly purchasable. Each box is guaranteed to contain at least one Rare item, with Epic and Legendary items guaranteed within every 5 and every 20 loot boxes opened, respectively. Keller said the intent behind the new iteration of loot boxes was to make players feel rewarded for simply playing the game, rather than using them as a driver for microtransactions.

With the launch of Season 17 in June 2025, a map voting system was introduced to standard game modes.

Development. \"Overwatch 2\" was announced at BlizzCon on November 1, 2019, with plans that the game would maintain a \"shared multiplayer environment\" between it and the original \"Overwatch\", so that players in either game could compete in the existing player versus player (PvP) game modes, retaining all unlocked cosmetics and other features. Jeff Kaplan, director for \"Overwatch\", explained that this was a major decision and that he had to justify this \"player-first standpoint\" to Blizzard executives, given the current industry trend to draw in new sales. All new heroes, maps, and PvP modes"}, {"text": "were to be added to both games to maintain this shared environment. While Activision Blizzard had anticipated \"Overwatch 2\" would be ready by 2020 or 2021, the game's release kept switching. One reason was driven by management to convert the game into a free-to-play title, aligning with most other multiplayer games on the market, leaving the question of monetization open. Kaplan's original design for \"Overwatch\", which allowed for players to switch to any other hero to counter opposing team composition, made it difficult to monetize the release of new heroes. This drove Blizzard to consider the battle pass approach, which was meant to balance player engagement with the game through its lifetime, and revenue from selling cosmetics. A second reason for the delay was difficulty in implementing Kaplan's ideas for PvE, as the game was not designed to handle large numbers of enemy forces from both an engine and gameplay design aspect. Around 2021, Activision management put pressure on Blizzard to finish \"Overwatch 2\", suggesting that Blizzard add more staff to Team 4, the Blizzard division created for \"Overwatch\", as to match the team size typical for other popular free-to-play shooters. Blizzard resisted this, fearing the added time and costs"}, {"text": "to bring on new staff would take too much from the ongoing development, and wanted to avoid Activision's desire to release \"Overwatch\" in annual installments. Due to the constant attention from Activision, the \"Overwatch\" team could not give \"Overwatch 2\" full attention, and from 2021, several key staff members involved in its development, including Kaplan, left Blizzard. Aaron Keller took over the role for lead developer on \"Overwatch 2\", with pressure from Activision to release it as soon as possible. To make this happen and avoid a situation similar to the \"Titan\" cancellation, Blizzard opted to decouple the PvE and PvP elements, to release the improved PvP elements by 2022 and to eventually release the PvE elements later. By mid-2022, \"Overwatch 2\" conversion to a free-to-play title was announced. Blizzard affirmed that \"Overwatch 2\" live services would replace those of the original game; the original \"Overwatch\" servers would be shut down on October 2, 2022. Players retained their existing cosmetics and in-game currency, with remaining loot boxes opened automatically upon the release of \"Overwatch 2\". At least three new heroes were announced to be added to the roster, including Sojourn, a Canadian Overwatch officer, Junker Queen, the ruler of Junkertown,"}, {"text": "and Kiriko, the protector of Kanezaka. \"Overwatch 2\" runs on an upgraded version of the original game's engine which allows for larger map sizes to better support the new story-based player versus environment (PvE) elements. Additionally, all of the existing heroes received visual redesigns for \"Overwatch 2\", although Blizzard did not expect every hero to have their redesigns finished when the game launched. Twelve of the existing 31 redesigns were completed at the time of \"Overwatch 2\"s reveal. \"Overwatch 2\" was released in early access for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on October 4, 2022. Kaplan stated when the game was announced that they were more concerned about quality of the product than timeliness of the release. Investor documents released in November 2021 reported that the initial 2022 release window was delayed to at least 2023, intended for \"giving the teams some extra time to complete production and continue growing their creative resources to support the titles after launch\". Kaplan anticipated that \"Overwatch\" and \"Overwatch 2\" will ultimately merge into a single product to avoid having any engine differences affecting player experience. Technical director John Lafleur has stated they are also interested"}, {"text": "in supporting, at minimum, cross-platform progression and are looking at the possibility of cross-platform play. In the interim from its announcement prior to release, Kaplan left Blizzard in April 2021, with Aaron Keller taking over the lead development role, while the lead developer for new heroes, Geoff Goodman, left sometime in mid-2022. In March 2022, Blizzard stated that they had put too much focus on \"Overwatch 2\" over the past few years to the detriment of support for the original game, and so changed plans to release \"Overwatch 2\" in parts, with the PvP portion to be released in beta form starting in April 2022 and the PvE part to come at a later time. This would allow them to also continue to support \"Overwatch\" alongside \"Overwatch 2\" development. Later, Blizzard announced that the first wave of \"Overwatch 2\" invitation-only betas would begin on April 26, 2022, and end on May 17. Access to the closed beta could be earned either by signing up for a chance to participate or by watching select Twitch streamers for a limited time on April 27. The game without its PvE mode was released as early access on October 4, 2022, for Windows, PlayStation"}, {"text": "4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. That day, in addition to a large number of players, the game's servers were hit with a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack that made it difficult for many to access the game. Additionally, as part of Blizzard's efforts to reduce smurfing, the use of new accounts by experienced players as to try to game the system, the company required all players to confirm their identity through a SMS message on their cell phone linked to their account. For many with prepaid cellular plans, particularly in the United States, they cannot use SMS on their plans, and effectively locked them out of \"Overwatch 2\", though Blizzard stated they were working to resolve that issue. By October 7, Blizzard removed the need to verify one's identity for those that had played \"Overwatch\" since at least June 2021. As a means to make up this lost time to players, Blizzard planned to offer double experience point weekends and free cosmetic items to all players. The game was to feature PvE game modes to be released later in the game's lifecycle, differentiating it from its predecessor.

In this mode, players would garner experience points for their hero and unlock new passive abilities called \"talents\", allowing them to influence how the hero plays. However, in May 2023, the developers announced that these extensive plans for PvE had been scrapped, fearing how they would impact the PvP elements. Instead the developers plan to offer story-based events as a replacement for the scrapped PvE. According to Keller, the concept behind the PvE elements were trying to bring forward gameplay from the cancelled \"Titan\" which \"Overwatch\" was originally based on. However, Keller stated that as they started shifted development to include the PvE elements, the overall project became unfocused, and the lead developers believed that they could not deliver a polished experience and opted to discontinue work in this direction. Blizzard announced players will be required to pay $15 for these new story missions. The purchase will include in-game currency and cosmetic items.

It's still a fundamentally great hero shooter, just one that is perhaps not currently operating at the towering height of its powers.\" Jessica Howard of \"GameSpot\" wrote, \"\"Overwatch 2\" takes the franchise from a genre-defining shooter"}, {"text": "to a trend-chasing one. As such, it has begun to feel less like a unique sci-fi, superhero comic book in video game form, and more like, well, a lot of other games.\" Chris Carter of \"Destructoid\" wrote that \"\"Overwatch 2\" doesn't have the same cachet that \"Overwatch 1\" did, but I can still see myself jumping in for a few matches after a long evening. The charm is still there, even if the delivery system has been muddled, and the game is no longer a premium product with easy-access characters that you can readily jump in and out of. Perhaps the PVE update can change that, but it has some work to do.\" The team, acknowledging player feedback from the past eight seasons, revealed plans for significant updates in a candid blog to enhance competitive play, allowing players to better develop their skills and track progress through the ranks. The game's removal of loot boxes in favor of a battle pass system received backlash. Players directed criticism toward Blizzard's decision to lock the character Kiriko as a free reward on the first season's battle pass. Following Kiriko's reveal trailer, CJ Wheeler of \"Rock Paper Shotgun\" wrote: \"One look at PlayOverwatch's"}, {"text": "mentions on Twitter is, well, eye-opening.

Many players and some game journalists highlighted that most other games include enough in-game currency in the battle pass to get the next one free. Upon release of \"Overwatch 2\" on Steam, the game received a large number of negative reviews and became the worst-rated Steam game of all time within a 48-hour time frame, leading many outlets to characterize the response as review bombing. User reviews were generally critical of Blizzard's handling of \"Overwatch 2\" including the removal of the planned PvE content, which director Aaron Keller acknowledged.

Several days after seating the post of chairman, the former parties agreed to hold a congress as soon as possible, in the face of the upcoming election. Sanusi was tasked with preparing the congress and further meetings by the CEC and the party's council was held in the house of Dr. Hasjim Ning.

In his final speech, Sanusi stated that the fusion of the party has been completed through the congress. Even though the congress had finished, the party was still being plagued with internal conflicts. Those who did not agree with the leadership of Sanusi began to bring the internal conflicts of the party into the surface. During the 1978 General Session of the People's Consultative Assembly, there was a conflict between the position of the deputy speaker of the People's Representative Council for the party. The military fraction, supported by Golkar and PPP, agreed to nominate Mohammad Isnaeni as the deputy speaker, while PDI itself nominated Usep Ranuwidjaja.

Achmad's faction announced a unilateral reshuffle of the CEC on 25 November 1977. The reshuffle only affected former PNI members. Sanusi's position as the chairman of the party was replaced by Isnaeni, and other functionaries of the CEC was replaced. The reshuffle caused the party to be split into two factions. The reshuffle CEC was supported by the former members of IPKI and Murba, while the CEC led by Sanusi was supported by the former members of the Indonesian Christian Party and the Catholic Party. The dualism of leadership inside PDI caused the external intervention of the government through the State Intelligence Coordinating Agency (BAKIN), which was represented by Ali Murtopo.

Isnaeni and Sunawar retaliated by firing Sanusi as the chairman on behalf of the Indonesian National Party. The conflict caused the emergence of a minor third party, dubbed as the \"Tugu Group\". The group threatened both CEC to finish the internal conflict immediately, or the group will take over the CEC. The group held meetings in Pandaan to prepare a plan that would overthrow Sanusi, Isnaeni, and Sukowati from the party. The group consisted of members of the CEC, functionaries of the Pancasila Youth, and members of the Marhaen Youth Movement. Even though the group had plans, there was no clear intent about what the group would do.

On the evening of 15 October, Sanusi called his typist and stated that he wanted to resign as the chairman of the party. He then swore his typist not to tell it to anybody prior to 16 October. Sanusi later revealed that his resignation was due to his attempt to keep his mental stability. The conflicts that struck the party caused personal pressures to him.

The organization was the main opposition to the Suharto regime, due to it being filled by former influential ministers and politicians in the Sukarno era. The members of this organization then issued the Petition of Fifty on 5 May 1980, which criticized Suharto's compulsory instruction in the state philosophy, Pancasila.

There are a few variations on the style of the hook, gate opening and swivel style. The characteristic element of the bolt snap is the bolt action gate. This is a spring loaded rod which slides longitudinally inside the body of the clip against a compression spring to open the gate of the hook, and returns to rest against the tip of the hook by the action of the spring when released.

Chrome plated zinc and plastic bodies are only suitable for light loads such as key rings, handbag straps, and leads for small dogs. The single ended bolt snap has a hook at one end with the opening in line with a hollow shaft, at the other end of which there is a flanged pin for the swivel fitting. The swivel fitting is usually a ring, but can also be a swivel shackle body. The tip of the hook is directly in line with the central axis of the hole in the shaft, so that the piston gate makes contact with the tip when closed, and the hook curves round to point at the hole.

The bolt snap does not have a socket in the tip of the hook for the bolt, as the load is carried by the hook in normal service, and this type of closure is unsuited to multi-directional or highly dynamic loading. The double ended bolt snap has a hook at each end of the body, with co-axial opposing bolts. The hook gates normally both face the same way. Variations. Various sizes and materials may be available for the style variations listed. Operation. The bolt snap is usually operated using one hand to manipulate the hook and gate.

To remove, the same method is used, and the load must be supported to unhook while the gate is open. The clip cannot be removed under normal tensile load conditions even with the gate open. Applications. Scuba diving. Bolt snaps are commonly used in scuba diving to clip equipment to the diver's harness for security and to keep them in place. The bolt snap style of connector is favoured because it is operable with one hand, is quick and easy to use, can support the relevant loads, and is reasonably secure against accidental operation.

History. Precursors. During the late 1800s, many Ashkenazi Jews, as well as Czechs and Germans, emigrated to Texas. These immigrants brought with them their cuisine, which included brisket. Brisket was a very important and popular food in Ashkenazi Jewish culture and cuisine, and has been eaten by Jews since at least the 1700s, as it was cheap and they were allowed to eat it despite their strict dietary laws. When these immigrants arrived in Texas, they were able to procure beef much more easily than in their home countries as Texas had many heads of cattle available for purchase. Jewish immigrants were the first to smoke brisket in the United States. By the early 1900s smoked brisket appeared on Jewish deli menus across Texas. The first mention of smoked brisket appears in newspaper advertisements in 1910 geared towards the Jewish community of Texas, Watson's Grocery in El Paso and Naud Burnett grocery store in Greenville both sold smoked brisket in their Jewish deli counter, alongside other foods such as smoked whitefish salad and chopped liver.

There are ten national parks in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland. Ten of these were established in England and Wales in the 1950s under the provisions of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. With one exception, all of these first ten, together with the two Scottish parks were centred on upland or coastal areas formed from Palaeozoic rocks. The exception is the North York Moors National Park which is formed from sedimentary rocks of Jurassic age. Three new national parks have been created in lowland England since the late 1980s, these being the Broads, South Downs and New Forest national parks. (Strictly speaking the Broads was not created as a national park but the Broads Authority has since adopted the name for marketing purposes.)

The majority of the rocks within the Cairngorms National Park belong to the Dalradian Supergroup, a thick sequence of sands, muds and limestones that were deposited between about 800 and 600 million years ago on the margins of the former continent of Laurentia. Rocks now ascribed to the Moine Supergroup occur along the northwestern edge of the Park.

The subsequent collision of Baltica with Laurentia caused the \u2018Scandian event\u2019 which involved further folding and faulting of the Dalradian rock sequence.

Evidence suggests that the granite currently at the surface was initially to be found at a depth of between 4 and 7km. Other than a small outlier of Old Red Sandstone, there are no younger solid rocks within the National Park. The ice ages of the last 2.5 million years have however left their mark both in terms of erosional and depositional features. Post-glacial features include peat and landslips. Dartmoor.

There are Triassic sandstones in the area around Minehead and a small outlier of the Jurassic Lias. Exmoor lay just to the south of the Quaternary ice-sheets but deposits of head (frost-shattered rock fragments building on and at the foot of hillsides) date from this time. Lake District.

In broad terms, the oldest rocks occupy the northern part of the area with progressively younger rocks seen to the south, approaching the Solent coast. As elsewhere, the names of particular rock strata (and higher level groups) sometimes change as geological knowledge expands and research correlates strata in one area with those of another.

God's presence is declared, and adored with the angels, but also prayed for.

It was discovered by lead miners in 1822 and was found to contain the almost complete skeletal remains of a woolly rhinoceros and other large mammal bones. These remains were acquired by the geologist William Buckland and are now housed in Oxford Museum. Location and description. Dream Cave formed as a natural karstic cavity along a vein of mineralisation within a series of Lower Carboniferous limestone rocks called the Monsal Dale Formation. The entrance to Dream Cave (known to cavers as Dream Hole) is on a grass-covered mound, on a hillside to the west of the town of Wirksworth, east of Carsington Reservoir, and overlooking woodland. This entrance is a deep and steep-sided natural fissure within the limestone, and is in fields pockmarked by former lead-mining activity. Dream Cave lies at an altitude of approximately and is about deep, with cavities running in a west-north-west to east-south-easterly direction. Although originally completely infilled with loose material, almost all has since been removed, and what little remains is so disturbed that it shows none of the original stratigraphy. Discovery. Dream Cave was"}, {"text": "discovered by lead miners in December 1822, during work to sink a new shaft down into a hillside above Wirksworth to reach productive veins of lead ore within Dream Mine. In doing so, the miners unexpectedly penetrated a large natural cavern within the hillside which had become completely infilled with a loose material of argillaceous earth and rock fragments. According to a detailed contemporary account, as they excavated this material to continue their downward progress, the loose infill began to shift and collapse around them. The act of removing this loose material eventually exposed the roof of the cave itself. Close to the centre of the collapsing mass, the miners found numerous bones and what was probably at the time a complete skeleton of a large mammal before the collapsing sediments caused the bones to separate. In removing the infill, the miners had uncovered what, on expert examination, turned out to be the nearly complete skeleton of a rhinoceros. This was subsequently confirmed to be a woolly rhinoceros (\"Coelodonta antiquitatis\"). Initially, there was no evidence that the cavern had been connected to the surface.

One month later, in January 1823, the eminent Oxford geologist the Reverend William Buckland arrived to inspect the finds at Dream Cave. By this time many of the bones had been removed on the command of the landowner, Philip Gell. Buckland's detailed account of his inspection of Dream Cave and its remains was subsequently published in his \"Reliqui\u00e6 Diluvian\u00e6, or, Observations on the Organic Remains attesting the Action of a Universal Deluge\". He described the rhinoceros skeleton to have included a head, ten molar teeth, one complete half of the lower jaw, and damaged fragments of the other half. Two cervical vertebrae, several dorsal and two caudal vertebrae and various ribs, sacrum and pelvis were also retrieved, as well as the long bones of all four limbs.

Later research has suggested that they first entered Buckland's own private collections at Christchurch College before later being transferred to Oxford Museum after its founding in 1860. By 1861 the larger bones were on display at Oxford Museum, although by 1874 some of the smaller specimens had been moved into storage. Although the whereabouts of the rhinoceros bones from Dream Cave were still remembered in the 1880s, one hundred and twenty years later they had become forgotten, and believed by some to have been lost to science.

This yielded calibrated dates of 45,083 \u2013 48,613 BP. The team concluded that Buckland was correct in his original interpretation that the complete woolly rhinoceros skeleton resulted, not from a direct fall into the cavern, but by inwashing from an extreme flood event. Whereas Buckland stated this was \"a that was drifted in entire at the same time with the diluvial detritus\" (i.e.Biblical flood), modern science interprets this as in-washing from a high-volume flood event, resulting from a sudden spring thaw after a cold winter period, which were typical of the glacial-period climate in that region at that time.

The Bachstein company was absorbed into the South German Railway Company (\"S\u00fcddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft AG\", SEG), founded in 1895, which took over the operations of the \"Mannheim-Weinheim-Heidelberg-Mannheimer Eisenbahn\" (MWHME) in 1897. To provide a direct connection to the Schriesheimer and Dossenheimer quarries, the construction of a freight only railway line from the Heidelberg SEG freight yard over its own bridge over the Neckar and through the Neuenheimer Feld to Dossenheim and continuing to Schriesheim was approved on 14 August 1903.
