The method utilizes a level set framework, thus it has all of the benefits of a sharp, implicitly-represented interface such as the ease of handling complex topological changes.
One possible source for his sharp-edged, implicitly geometric figures is weather vanes, although his silhouettes are considerably enlivened with distinctive textures, expressive button eyes, a sense of fluid movement and bright color.
The critic Sanford Schwartz has called him "the Master of the Blur," citing the one stylistic device common to most of his pictures, whether abstract or realist: a sideways paint smear that destroys sharp visual contours and, implicitly, confident discriminations in thought and feeling.
The zero phase-field contour is used to implicitly track the sharp interface on a fixed grid.
These three aspects, as Coles implicitly acknowledges, have fostered a sharp-elbowed type of advocacy journalism.
At the same time he tried to maintain some distance, since his theme of compassionate conservatism is implicitly a contrast to the sharp-edged kind of conservatism practiced by former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The novel contributions of this paper are threefold: (1) describe and validate a method to represent arbitrary parametric surfaces implicitly; (2) represent arbitrary solids implicitly, including sharp features using level sets and boolean operations; (3) impose arbitrary Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the resulting implicitly defined boundaries.
Although Senator Clinton is in a tough battle for the Democratic nomination with Mr. Obama, and her recent remarks have included sharp criticisms of him, she did not mention Mr. Obama Monday, — only implicitly contrasting herself with him by arguing that she was the better equipped candidate to manage the economy.
Both men compared, at least implicitly, religion to literature, meaning that neither word is susceptible of sharp definition, but both denote things that need serious study if they are to be understood – hence Eagleton's line that "There's no point in defending the value of synecdoche to people who think it's a small town in upper New York state".
Cook trusts Anderson implicitly.
Both implicitly encouraged exceptionalism.
