"to remain in ignorance of the enemy's condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a hundred ounces of silver in honors and emoluments, is the height of inhumanity."
Tux4Kids develops high-quality software for kids, with the goal of combining fun and learning into an irresistable package. Our software is free: you can download it for use at home or onto hundreds of computers in a school. We support all major platforms, including Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix. Our programs are used by people around the globe, and they have been translated into dozens of different languages. As open-source software, these programs can be freely extended or customized, and they are supported by active communities of volunteer developers.
Strictly spoken it's a piece of software, simulating the Solar System's bodies in 3D on your Windows or Linux PC (will work in most *NIX's as well). In difference to quite a few other programs it does so in realtime. Meaning you can view all the planets, moons and spaceships move along their paths, trace them, follow them, orbit them and even control them (time and spaceship contol). And you won't have to fight your way through hordes of green, slimey and one-eyed aliens for that ;-)
These images are hemispherical panoramas, taken as addition to my Virtualvienna Project. You can find there some of the panoramas as full panorama in a bigger size than here.
The OIS – Sensor Summit will be in Dayton, Ohio June 14-15, 2010. On Monday, June 14th the Summit will be held at the Engineers Club of Dayton and will be a day of sensor talks. One session will highlight the work of Research Scholars hired as part of the Ohio Academic Research Cluster for Layer Sensing (OARCLS). On Tuesday, June 15th the OIS-Sensor Summit will be a field day where current members of IDCAST and OARCLS will demonstrate their technology. This event will be held at IDCAST and around Dayton’s Tech Town 2020 location.
We propose a joint optical flow and principal component analysis (PCA) method for motion detection. PCA is used to analyze optical flows so that major optical flows corresponding to moving objects in a local window can be better extracted. This joint approach can efficiently detect moving objects and more successfully suppress small turbulence. It is particularly useful for motion detection from outdoor videos with low quality. It can also effectively delineate moving objects in both static and dynamic background. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach outperforms other existing methods by extracting the moving objects more completely with lower false alarms.
ITK is a powerful open-source toolkit implementing state-of-the-art algorithms in medical image processing and analysis. MATLAB, on the other hand, is well-known for its easy-to-use, powerful prototyping capabilities that significantly improve productivity. With the help of MATITK, biomedical image computing researchers familiar with MATLAB can harness the power of ITK algorithms while avoiding learning C++ and dealing with low-level programming issues.
Opticks is an expandable remote sensing and imagery analysis software platform that is free and open source. If you've used other commercial tools like: ERDAS IMAGINE, RemoteView, ENVI, or SOCET GXP, then you need to give Opticks a try. Unlike other competing tools, you can add capability to Opticks by creating an extension. Opticks provides the most advanced extension capability of any other remote sensing tool on the market.
While working with Aerospace to develop the NPP architecture documentation, NASA realized the Science Data Segment presented novel challenges in terms of ground system design and implementation. NASA asked Aerospace to suggest possible approaches for the Science Data Segment in early 2001. Based on initial architecture definition and requirements, Aerospace recommended an emerging technology known as grid computing (see sidebar, Grid Computing: An Overview). Because of the relative lack of maturity of this approach, Aerospace also recommended the development of a prototype implementation that would allow NASA to investigate key features as it moved to procure the full operational Science Data Segment. This prototype implementation was named the Advanced Data Grid.
In some cases, it may be appropriate to process part of a request synchronously, but to finish processing in a forked child depending on the request data. This can be implemented by using a synchronous server and doing an explicit fork in the request handler class handle() method.
Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for the Python language as easy as Python itself. Cython is based on the well-known Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations.
The Ohio Supercomputer Center provides supercomputing, research and educational resources to a diverse state and national community, including education, academic research, industry and state government. At the Ohio Supercomputer Center, our duty is to empower our clients, partner strategically to develop new research and business opportunities, and lead Ohio's knowledge economy.
The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC®) serves the DoD community as the largest central resource for DoD and government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related information available today .
There is apparently some video footage of Cronkite reporting on the apollo moon landings, but my crappy Hotel internet connection is too slow to watch it.
PyFacebook is currently best-tested with Django, and if you are just starting out with Python web development, the author highly recommends this combination :-). If you'd rather use another framework, there are also Pylons and other WSGI helpers in PyFacebook as well.
