Textures alpha mapping technolody realization with DirectX

Author(s):

Colors are described by three components RGB and alpha component. This component adds additional realism in the computer scene and means opacity. Alpha mapping is a process that regulates objects transparency. This is an often used and successful process. This effect is rather simple. The realization requires few and simple resources. Such modern graphics libraries as DirectX, OpenGL and WebGL have powerful opportunities to implement a light mapping. For the realization we can use powerful graphical library DirectX and OpenGL. There is also an opportunity to use the graphic library for the internet WebGL.

Med stigende fokus på øget tværfaglighed og digitalisering i undervisningen på Københavns Universitet undersøger vi i denne artikel hvilke betingelser, der skal til, for at tværfaglighed og digitalisering rent faktisk kan omsættes til læringsudbytte? Det gør vi ved at reflektere over hvilke didaktiske komponenter, der har været virksomme i et nyligt afholdt, tværfagligt kursus: KOrtlægning af VIdenskabelige KOntroverser (KOVIKO). Vi identificerer tre vigtige komponenter som afgørende for de opnåede læringsmæssige resultater: Socialisering til et nyt fagligt fællesskab; internettet som omdrejningspunkt og oplæring til tværfaglige læringsindsatser. I konklusionen fremhæver vi det potentiale, som ligger i brug af digitale metoder og platforme som et fagligt integrerende element i "undervisningsbaseret forskning".With an increasing focus on interdisciplinarity and digitalization in teaching at the University of Copenhagen, we use this article to examine some of the conditions under which interdisciplinarity and digitalization can lead to better learning outcomes as well as improved study environments for students. We do this by reflecting on which didactic components were effective in a recently held course on Mapping Scientific Controversies (KOVIKO). We identify three components as particularly important factors behind achieved learning outcomes and improvements in study environment: an active effort to socialize students into a new interdisciplinary community; the internet as the pivotal object of the course; and encouraging interdisciplinary learning. We conclude by highlighting the potential that digital methods, as integrated elements of “teaching-based research”, hold.

ABSTRACTLying in Jupiter's equatorial plane is a diaphanous ring having little substructure within its three components (main band, faint disk, and halo). Micron-sized grains account for much of the visible ring, but particles of centimeter sizes and larger must also be present to absorb charged particles. Since dynamical evolution times and survival life times are quite short (≲102-3yr) for small grains, the Jovian ring is being continually replenished; probably most of the visible ring is generated by micrometeoroids colliding into unseen parent bodies that reside in the main band.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.
