Skeletal crystals
- Vivien Gornitz
- … show all 1 hide
A skeletal crystal is one that develops under conditions of rapid growth and high degree of supersaturation. Atoms are added more rapidly to the edges and corners of a growing crystal than to the centers of crystal faces, resulting in either branched, tree-like forms or hollow, stepped depressions. Branched crystals are considered to have a "dendritic" habit; the hollow stepped crystals are referred to as "hoppers."
While the concentration gradient of matter to a growing crystal tends to be highest at corners and edges of faces, at low levels of supersaturation the overall growth rate is uninfluenced by local fluctuations in the degree of supersaturation, since flat, polyhedral faces are the general rule among crystals. Only above a critical level of supersaturation will the high corner and edge concentration gradients promote most rapid growth at these positions with the consequent development of skeletal forms.
The term "skeletal growth" may be used in two slightly different ways. Du ...

|Feature description
The Sobel operator is used in image processing, particularly within edge detection algorithms. Technically, it is a discrete differentiation operator, computing an approximation of the gradient of the image intensity function. At each point in the image, the result of the Sobel operator is either the corresponding gradient vector or the norm of this vector. The Sobel operator is based on convolving the image with a small, separable, and integer valued filter in horizontal and vertical direction and is therefore relatively inexpensive in terms of computations. On the other hand, the gradient approximation that it produces is relatively crude, in particular for high frequency variations in the image.
In simple terms, the operator calculates the gradient of the image intensity at each point, giving the direction of the largest possible increase from light to dark and the rate of change in that direction. The result therefore shows how "abruptly" or "smoothly" the image changes at that point, and therefore how likely it is that that part of the image represents an edge, as well as how that edge is likely to be oriented. In practice, the magnitude (likelihood of an edge) calculation is more reliable and easier to interpret than the direction calculation.
Mathematically, the gradient of a two-variable function (here the image intensity function) is at each image point, a 2D vector with the components given by the derivatives in the horizontal and vertical directions. At each image point, the gradient vector points in the direction of largest possible intensity increase, and the length of the gradient vector corresponds to the rate of change in that direction. This implies that the result of the Sobel operator at an image point which is in a region of constant image intensity is a zero vector and at a point on an edge is a vector which points across the edge, from darker to brighter values.
Mathematically, the operator uses two 3×3 kernels which are convolved with the original image to calculate approximations of the derivatives - one for horizontal changes, and one for vertical. If we define A as the source image, and Gx and Gy are two images which at each point contain the horizontal and vertical derivative approximations, the computations are as follows:
where here denotes the 2-dimensional convolution operation.
The x-coordinate is here defined as increasing in the "right"-direction, and the y-coordinate is defined as increasing in the "down"-direction. At each point in the image, the resulting gradient approximations can be combined to give the gradient magnitude, using:
Using this information, we can also calculate the gradient's direction:
where, for example, Θ is 0 for a vertical edge which is darker on the right side.
Since the intensity function of a digital image is only known at discrete points, derivatives of this function cannot be defined unless we assume that there is an underlying continuous intensity function which has been sampled at the image points. With some additional assumptions, the derivative of the continuous intensity function can be computed as a function on the sampled intensity function, i.e. the digital image. It turns out that the derivatives at any particular point are functions of the intensity values at virtually all image points. However, approximations of these derivative functions can be defined at lesser or larger degrees of accuracy.
The Sobel operator represents a rather inaccurate approximation of the image gradient, but is still of sufficient quality to be of practical use in many applications. More precisely, it uses intensity values only in a 3×3 region around each image point to approximate the corresponding image gradient, and it uses only integer values for the coefficients which weight the image intensities to produce the gradient approximation.
The Sobel operator consist of two separable operations [1]:
Sobel filters for image derivatives in different dimensions with :
Thus as an example the 3D Sobel kernel in z-direction:
As a consequence of its definition, the Sobel operator can be implemented by simple means in both hardware and software: only eight image points around a point are needed to compute the corresponding result and only integer arithmetic is needed to compute the gradient vector approximation. Furthermore, the two discrete filters described above are both separable:
and the two derivatives Gx and Gy can therefore be computed as
In certain implementations, this separable computation may be advantageous since it implies fewer arithmetic computations for each image point.
Applying convolution K to pixel group P can be represented in pseudocode as:
N(x,y) = Sum of { K(i,j).P(x-i,y-j)}, for i,j running from -1 to 1. N(x,y) represents the new matrix resulted after applying the Convolution K to P. where P is pixel matrix.
The result of the Sobel operator is a 2-dimensional map of the gradient at each point. It can be processed and viewed as though it is itself an image, with the areas of high gradient (the likely edges) visible as white lines. The following images illustrates this, by showing the computation of the Sobel operator on a simple image.
The Sobel operator, while reducing artifacts associated with a pure central differences operator, does not have perfect rotational symmetry. Scharr looked into optimizing this property.[2][3] Filter kernels up to size 5 x 5 have been presented there, but the most frequently used one is:
Scharr operators result from an optimization minimizing weighted mean squared angular error in Fourier domain. This optimization is done under the condition that resulting filters are numerically consistent. Therefore they really are derivative kernels rather than merely keeping symmetry constraints.
A similar optimization strategy and resulting filters were also presented by Farid and Simoncelli.[4][5] They also investigate higher-order derivative schemes. In contrast to the work of Scharr, these filters are not enforced to be numerically consistent.
The problem of derivative filter design has been revisited e.g. by Kroon.[6]
Orientation-optimal derivative kernels drastically reduce systematic estimation errors in optical flow estimation. Larger schemes with even higher accuracy and optimized filter families for extended optical flow estimation have been presented in subsequent work by Scharr.[7] Second order derivative filter sets have been investigated for transparent motion estimation.[8] It has been observed that the larger the resulting kernels are, the better they approximate Derivative of Gaussian filters.
Here, four different gradient operators are used to estimate the magnitude of the gradient of the test image.

Re: Average number of months for a sailboat to sell
I think a lot of it has to do with not only type of boat it is, but how the ad is written. I listed my Catalina 22 on a morning at 8:00 and had cash in hand at 4:00 that afternoon. I listed everything, good, bad and in between so there would be no surprises when looked at. I read ads then went and looked at boats and thought "this isn't even close to what the ad says" long story short most are still for sale, right now there is Hunter 25 and a J 24 being sold locally that the guy has been listing for over a year at the same price and he absolutely wont negotiate on them.

Forced perspective, painted backdrops and the refit Enterprise

Re: Forced perspective, painted backdrops and the refit Enterprise
- Yep, I had brain cramp and forgot about the thickness of the discs, oops!
Looking at the picture again (which I didn't do during my hurried earlier entry) I would have to agree with
- on this ocassion, Shane Johnson may have got it right!
1' for each disc
5' for each transluscent section
So each complete "segment" is 7'
Total length (not including the connecting cone) is 87'
From the cente of the vertical conduit to the start of the first full segment is approx 4' (based on the length of the transluscent section & checked against Shane Johnson)
Now, if the engine room (on a 1,000' TMP-E) is in its official location centred on the Impulse Deflection Crystal, then the horizontal tube at the V-split would not quite reach the pylons (40'-80' short, depending on where the conduit enters the pylons).
This problem could be negated if the "real life" distance between the discs is larger on the FP segments along the horizontal length, around 11'-15' for each complete segment. However, the presence of a
crewmen at the far end
makes this unlikely - he just doesn't seem that far away!
Maybe they should have used the backdrop painting after all?

That'd just be orgasmic.
Just the other day I was thinking about a console Pokemon game (like the portable ones) in full 3D with good graphics.
Midnight's seriously just around the corner.
I bleed once a month and don't die. Fear me.
No thanks.
gave up on Pokemon after Red/Blue
I'm not sure. I guess it could be like XD or PBR and use 3D effects. But it would be strange having a Pokemon game on the DS that doesn't use sprites in battle lol. However, I would be willing to play it anyway.
MH3 -Trenton, SA & BG user
They're working on Pokemon Black/White right now. The first 3DS Pokemon game will be 2-3 years after the launch of it, and prolly won't be 3D, and it'll be a mostly 2D one with added 3D effects. Then 5 years after release of the device they'll make the game TC wants.
Read the mania: http://www.fanfiction.net/~nonexistinghero
In SA2, it's Super Sonic and Hyper Shadow.
Paper Pokemon
This is NOT the 1st Pokemon 3DS topic but...
Upscaleing Pokemon Black and White to 3D is not impossible. Most of the game is 3D simulated already.
The in battle Pokemon sprites would have to each have a new 3D character model made, if they used the original sprites it would look like paper cut outs having a battles with each other.
If they wanted to be lazy beesters they could rip most of the 3D Pokemon models from older home console Pokemon games. But I hope they don't.
Black and White for the 3DS is not only possible, but likely. Of course, this is after they've sold the DS version of Black and White. So they make 2x the profit when people buy the same game with improved graphics.
The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.
Only if they put open world fighting for the Pokemon battles, similar to the dragonballz budokai tenkaichi games. I think the ability to strategize during the fight about how to use the environment to your advantage would be a great way to do a Pokemon game. Although this is better suited to a home console than a handheld.
http://GPXPlus.net/user/Robert+Conley <--Please visit and warm my eggs or feed my Pokemon.
Getting off topic here but...
I have wanted a huge overhaul of the Pokemon game for a long time. I LOVE Pokemon, more then most people, but the battle system it utilizes is boring (it has BARELY changed since Red/Blue), full of balance problems (too many Pokemon are WAY better then most of the others, on purpose, not counting legendaries), repetitive (encouraged by balance problems) on multiple levels, IV system impossible to manipulate reasonably without hacking (were talking months of constant work for 1 Pokemon with 3 IVs at 31, IF YOU'RE LUCKY), and many other things I don't feel like naming.
The single player needs to stop being the exact same journey with different graphics.
I know Gamefreak is scared of messing with the formula that has made them so much money and gained them so much fame, but as someone who's played every game in the series I'm REALLY tired of playing the same game over and over with slightly different graphics. It doesn't help that being 100% time stop turn based essentially makes the game very slow paced.
Pokemon games have SO MUCH potential for an amazing story (time and space pokemon that demonstarte their abilities by just going off like a common Nuke?), but the developers pretty much quit trying after making the new Pokemon, which I realize is hard already, but the story is horrendously boring to go through for anyone who's played 1 other Pokemon game before. If they fail stories get Chunsoft (Pokemon Dungeon series) to help you! Taking hints from Pokemon mystery dungeon, and even the anime, STOP MAKING POKEMON 100% idiotically innocent animals that have no mind of their own EVER! They story would be infinitely more interesting if Pokemon were capable of having their own motives and agendas! Example, Kyogre consciously WANTS to flood the world, he thinks it will be better that way, and that's why you have to stop it. Not the stupid "it can't control itself".
Sorry for huge rant, as you can tell, and I have said, I'm quite passionate about Pokemon.
The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.
I wanted this since I 1st played stadium...
Black & white seem to be inching toward that.
Maybe like, 4 gens from now They'll finally do that.

Dead Wringer
Saw the many, many commercials and thought this was what I need. Well, I have to admit I was wrong.
It does not rotate as seen on tv against walls.
When I place my foot on the petal to wring it out, my foot is all wet. We must have a leaky bucket issue.
I have washed the head several times and it never really looks clean.
My daughter just asked me about this product and I told her do not waste her money. Does not pick up any small particles on the floor, I always have to vacuum first.
I would not recommend this to anyone trying to save some time with their mopping chores. It sucks, but in a bad way.

Air Force leads way on electric vehicles
Monday - 9/19/2011, 6:03pm EDT
Los Angeles Air Force base is about to become the first federal facility that relies almost entirely on electric vehicle technology for its fleet. Within the next year, the Air Force will replace virtually all the vehicles on the base with plug-in electric technology. The only exceptions are emergency and security vehicles. The Air Force says the vehicles will not only get their power from the electric grid, but they'll be able to supply power back to the base in the event of an outage. The Pentagon plans to use the project as a test bed before it starts a large scale integration of electric vehicles into the Defense Department

Great mascara. Nice sticky texture that creates longer and thicker appearing lashes. Can add mutiple coats and it does not flake. Much better than Illegal Lengths or Lash Perfection that I have been using. Also really like the brush.

i love this product it is amazing and works super well!! what i love about it is that it doesn't make you eye lashes clump together and makes them look longer and beautiful i don't usually use mascara but i do use this one i love all Mary Kay products this one is a definite buy its worth the money and is cheaper that most mascaras!!!!!

I use this everyday and it has got to be my HG mascara. Not only does it look great, it's hassle-free when I'm removing my makeup! I used to use Benefit Bad Gal Lash, which was also a bit pricy, but a friend had me try Mary Kay's mascara and I'm hooked. There's a reason why it's so popular, go find out for yourself!

I love this mascara! I've been using Lash Blast mascara for awhile, but this is much much better. I never understood what a curling mascara did until I used this, but now I do! My lashes are perfectly defined, and very perfectly curled (I don't use eyelash curlers, too scary!), dark, long, and just basically perfect. It's my second favorite mascara and when I don't feel like taking the time to do my first favorite (which is actually two mascaras combined, L'oreal voluminous and millions) I always reach for this one. I don't need to comb them or do anything special. Just two quick coats and voila, perfect. So if I'm running out the door, I just throw this on. It won't clump no matter how sloppy you are with it or how many coats you do. It's great.

I have tried a lot of different mascaras and this is by far the worst for the money that I paid ($14!). I have medium length lashes, and this mascara clumps and flakes like crazy. I though the brush was cool and looked like it would do a good job separating, but I cannot apply this without it clumping all of my lashes together. And because the brush is small, it's impossible to unclump them! By the end of the day, I have black flakes all over my face. I will be going back to my Benefit BadGal Lash or DiorShow for sure.

This is one of the few high end mascaras I'm willing to pay for. I like the smaller brush: reaches every lash and allows for neat, clean application. This does a good job of lengthening and volumizing. I'm in love with the Brown color and think I've switched over from black for good!

Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral

What a suprise this mascara was! Got this for free from a promo in a magazine. Cover Girl Lash Blast is my go to mascara, I have to say that this mascara is just as good. Its a rich black, does not feel "crunchy" on your lashes, builds volume and length without getting clumped up. The brush is the rubber style like Lash Blash but maybe a bit skinnier. It wore great all day long, no smudges or flakes. Would definetely recommend this mascara. Good job Mary Kay!

This mascara is very nice. Definitely give it a try. I have purchased every brand of mascara there is looking for that perfect one - from Chanel, Dior, YSL, Lancome, Clinique etc. This is by far the best I have come across. Although I would still like to try Lancome Doll Lashes - I do like Hypnose Drama - that would be my second fave. My lashes are already fairly full and long, but as I'm aging (41) they are getting somewhat sparse in areas. Lash Love mascara seems to fill in those areas and really attaches itself to the lashes to lengthen. You will definitely want to use a good masara remover to take this off.

Skin: Combination, Medium, Neutral

I am a professional makeup artist with 15 years experience; tried every type of mascara on this planet and find that Lash Love surpasses, handsdown my high expectations. Came across it about three months ago and I've bought about 10 for my kit and have given some to my clients as gifts; they all agree: Its amazing! Makes lashes long, lushes, curled!

Light-Sport Chronicles: If You Build It…
...will they come? Time, work, imagination, and location, location, location will tell.
"And I'm a Cub guy," Chris adds. "So we'll offer taildragger training, too. My other dream is to manufacture pure Piper J3 Cubs. I've built components for Legend Cub in the past, but they and all the LSA Cub clones use Super Cub technology. I want to build the straight Cub design, probably the PA-11 Cub Special variant with enclosed cowl."
Dreams, like all living things, need to eat, so veteran businessowner Bruce watches the bottom line. For all the fun, Harris Airport is still a business.
"We're at that 'where to start, where to stop, what to build next?' place," says Bruce. "What are people willing to pay? Can the airport sustain itself? We'll see."
Chris, an active social networker, will market the operation online and on his website (www.quicksilverNE.com). Bruce's helicopter business is already thriving, which will help.
"This could become a premier jump zone," says Bruce. "I've found two things on everybody's bucket list: fly in a helicopter and jump out of an airplane."
"People are excited about ultralight flights, too," Chris says eagerly. "It's not like flying in an airplane. You're out there like a bird."
I leave the partners to go back to chatting with their remaining visitors, grab a snack from the hot lunch they laid out, then we walk back to the car.
As we drive away, I'm thinking of another iconic movie quote, from a concerned Jeff Goldblum in the movie, Jurassic Park. "Life finds a way," he says, worrying that the dinos will multiply and wreak havoc. "Life always finds a way."
Reflecting over the prevalent gloom and doom around general aviation these days, I believe lovers of flight will find a way, too. Ask Charles Lindbergh, Paul Poberezny or the Wrights.
Can you hear that whisper through the tall green grass of Harris Airport?
"If you build it, they will come..."
Oh, let it be true.

I've been following only the training quest, attempting to get the title "Gorgeous" from Goddess of Mercy. I'm now on 'Retrieve Wu's Notebook' from Zurin, level 14. No training quest has tell me to go back yet.
However, it worked on my other character who spawns in Eloquence Peak. Does that have to do with it? That only starting characters who starts in Eloquence Peak can only get that title?

Nope. I'm from Fort Phoenix and I got the title somewhere around your level, so you should be close.

Gorgeous Title
You get the Gorgeous title when u do the personality quest for the Goddess of Mercy.
You give her good answers for - Gorgeous title Str +3 & Int +3.
You give her bad answer for Bad Guy title heals u 10 hp ever 2 seconds.
The problem is, the personality quest never appeared. I am level 18 still, I don't know what to do. Restart? Hope for the best that the next remake will have the personality quest?

My MotivationMovember is the most important part of the month for me. It's a chance to support causes very close to my heart. Men's health is so often neglected, especially mental illness, and we all have a duty to help change the perception that that's OK. Please show your support for this incredibly important cause.

This management contrasts with the San Juan, Uinta, New Mexico portion of the Raton, and the Piceance Basins, where essentially all water produced as a consequence of CBM production is disposed of through reinjection to geological formations deep below drinking water supplies or CBM aquifers. This approach to produced water management is driven by small volumes and high salinities of produced water, regulatory ease and environmental suitability of deep reinjection, and the high costs of treatment to achieve water quality conditions compatible with beneficial use options.
The potential economic, ecological, and environment value or benefits of CBM produced water, either in its present state or following necessary treatment, have not been fully evaluated. Intentionally simplistic calculations of the potential economic value of CBM produced water from the Powder River Basin, based on the past 15 years of reported water production, suggest commercial significance of this produced water for municipal purposes. While the specific dollar value of the water may change with different input parameters, the intrinsic value of the CBM produced water resides in the fact that it can be used and is irreplaceable.
