特征保持的视点相关三维矢量场流线简化方法

为了解决三维矢量场可视化中流线数量过多造成的遮挡与视觉混乱问题,同时保证流线能够准确描述矢量场变化规律与重要特征,提出了一种基于特征保持的视点相关三维矢量场流线简化方法。采用粒子跟踪生成3D矢量场流线集,并进行视点相关映射;对流线集进行特征保持计算;基于流线视觉效果度量对流线集进行迭代简化计算,从而实现流线集的有效简化。实验结果表明,能够有效保持矢量场的物理特征,且具有较好的流线视觉效果。     

MONEY IN SOUTHERN AFRICAN POLITICS

“Lack of money is the root of all evil”

George Bernard Shaw

In a environment where party financing, private funding in particular, is generally a laissez-faire business, as in most Southern African countries, there is the real risk that interest groups and wealthy individuals will buy influence in political parties and in so doing erode public confidence in the political system. Because they are neither open to public scrutiny nor subject to any legislative restraints, huge private donations can, and often do, come with strings attached. This lack of transparency and openness, as well as mechanisms to prevent it, provides ample ground for influence peddling, where those who pay the piper call the tune. Left unchecked, this party funding scenario will continue to be a serious indictment of the region's democratisation projects, crippling democracy and stunting economic development.

New Evidence on the Original Setup of the ‘Tilbury Group’, Formerly in the Tower of London

Abstract

An argument is presented that Valentine Green’s mezzotint engraving ‘Queen Elizabeth at the Head of her Army at Tilbury-Fort, A.D. 1588’ (1792) was inspired by the late 18th-century life-sized group of three figures representing the same subject that was formerly on show at the Tower of London. The mezzotint presented in Acta Historica Reginarum Angliae is the only known image of the original pre-1828 setup of the display, showing the figure of the queen in a skirt-like piece of armour that has since been re-identified as King Henry VIII’s tonlet armour.
