It is an additive model which decomposes intonation contours into a sum of critically damped system impulse responses.
Middleton molded the slope's wide contours into a series of sweeping terraces that were graduated, steplike, down to the river, where he designed two symmetrical butterfly lakes.
They can turn maps from a two-dimensional representation of a country's physical contours into a tool that illustrates social attributes or attitudes: not just where people live, but how, what they think and how they vote.
Using conventional computer-aided design software would mean drawing thousands of individual hairs on a computer, translating each hair's contours into a mesh of tiny triangles, and then turning cross sections of that mesh into layer-by-layer pixelated instructions for the 3-D printer to follow, a process that would take hours.
Previous genetics studies of genitalia shape have quantified shape variation using elliptic Fourier analysis, which relies on organ outlines (Kuhl and Giardina 1982; Ferson et al. 1985) and decomposes contours into a series of harmonics that can be described by their coefficients, the Fourier coefficients.
(2) To circumvent the edge discontinuity problem, we used fast marching over the 2D Gabor magnitude domain method to connect the discontinuous contour segments into a closed tongue body contour.
In most cases, a six- to eight-hole reconstruction plate is required when contoured into an S-shape.
In most cases, a six- to eight-hole reconstruction plate fit well when contoured into an S-shape as viewed on edge and without a bend as viewed with the screw holes in plain sight (Fig. 3).
For instance, the other day I painted a head of somebody, and what made the sockets of the eyes, the nose, the mouth were, when you analysed them, just forms which had nothing to do with eyes, nose or mouth; but the paint moving from one contour into another made a likeness of this person I was trying to paint.
