Virtual Reconstruction of Medieval Architecture

Eye-tracking has a long tradition in psycholinguistic research, for example helping to investigate human language comprehension in the presence of non-linguistic context. We present a concurrent scene and written sentence presentation study, where we manipulate congruence and sentence type of structurally ambiguous German sentences. The corresponding displayed scenes show role-ambiguous characters involved in depicted actions. We investigate the effects of depicted events on ambiguity resolution in the context of a congruence decision task. Our concurrent presentation experiment combines aspects of several recent studies on scenesentence integration. We put our results in context and present a comprehensive analysis of our data. The detailed analysis allows direct comparison with various aspects of existing and future results of other studies. We replicate some results from related studies and discuss parallels and differences in the results. We present some interesting interactions between sentence type and congruence effects. Another goal of our study is to evaluate the new open source eye-tracking environment NEWTRACK (running on FreeDOS) and our custom portable DPIFilter post-processing and visualization software. NEWTRACK is more suitable for our study than for example PCEXPT. We give an overview of the features of NEWTRACK (e.g. support for near-standard hardware and automatic stimulus image analysis) and assess the current performance. We also review the current limitations of NEWTRACK and make suggestions for future enhancements.

Kitchen represents a space with great importance for one family. That's why the goal is to have a kitchen with the best possible design. This implies the creation of a kitchen with the best possible organization, maximal space usage and aesthetic appearance in accordance with the owner's taste. The traditional kitchen design process assumes the use of professional services, such as an interior designer or architect. The kitchen design process consists of several steps:．Space measurement and initial design discussion;．2D / 3D design;．Design evaluation;．Technical drawing creation. Professionals in the design phase use different manual and digital tools and software. Precise kitchen space measurement is done in a family home using measurement tools. Design discussion has a goal of understanding the homeowner's taste and desire for the kitchen appearance and functionality. Based on discussion and measurements, the designer creates first kitchen visualizations in the form of sketches, 2D images, or 3D models. This design is then discussed with the homeowner and readjusted several times until the final version. This final version is then used for the creation of technical drawings that are used for kitchen assembly. The evolution of contemporary devices and computer graphics lead to the development and adaptation of Augmented Reality in design. Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging computer technology where the perception of the user is enhanced by the seamless blending between a realistic environment and computer-generated virtual objects coexisting in the same space. The resulting mixture supplements reality, rather than replacing it. In this paper possibilities for Augmented Reality use in the kitchen design process are investigated. Analysis and comparison of currently available, state of the art solutions for Augmented Reality kitchen design are performed. State of the art in the field of AR space measurement, AR 3D model presentation, and AR kitchen design are investigated. Analysis of currently available solutions for Augmented Reality kitchen design is performed and compared.

In the process of learning, is often found a tendency to minimize the participation of students in the class. The dominance of the teacher in the learning process leads to the tendency of students become more passive. In the implementation, assessing the learning process of the subject of Social Sciences is boredom because of its monotonous and expository presentation so that students are less enthusiastic, resulting of less interesting in the subjects. Having observed this classroom situation, it is necessary to think about ways of presenting and learning atmospheres. The suitable learning process of social sciences subject for students is that the learning community based model. This learning focuses on the processes and interactions in the social context. Interaction and social process should be a concern in achieving the learning objectives.Learning community based model is a concept of the creation of learning communities in schools, the learning process between teachers and teachers, teachers and students, students with students, and even among the school communities with the community outside the school, so that the student achievement can be improved. This design of this study was based on the classroom action research at the Junior High School, SMP Negeri 2 Banda Aceh. The study found that the learning community based model has improved student learning outcomes in both first and the second cycles. Thus, the learning community based model was found to be a suitable way of improving students’ achievement in learning the subject of social sciences at the SMP Negeri 2, Banda Aceh.

The understanding of literary character has been, since Aristotle, an issue of debate amongst different schools of thought which, in broad terms, have viewed characters in the novel either as representations of human beings, or as types such as the hero and the false hero, the protagonist and the antagonist, or as explicating a narrative function necessary to plot development. Modernist authors created characters that represent both individuals and heroic types: Leopold Bloom in Joyce’s Ulysses is an ordinary individual incarnating the failure of the Homeric hero. Also in Woolf’s The Waves, we encounter a character whose name is that of the heroic figure of the medieval chivalric romances: Percival, an entirely silent character in an otherwise extremely dialogical and “eyeless book” (i.e. without an ‘I’ narrator; Woolf 1925: 203), who is entirely other-presented by the six speaking characters across their lives. This article aims to suggest how through a cognitive stylistics approach our understanding of Percival arises on the one hand from our background knowledge of the classical/medieval hero, and on the other from the information derived from the six flawed Edwardian characters that construe him. The analysis of Percival carried out here demonstrates how through the six speakers’ indirect presentation our inferencing of this exceptional fictional character calls for a continual process of refreshment from the outset that contributes to forming a mental image of Percival as an individual and as the hero of The Waves.

Real estate taxation is one of the main sources of state funding. For this reason, it is a burning and topical issue of our time, which causes tensions and constitutes the subject of intense discussions, economic, social and political concerns. With the present work, is made an attempt to systematically record the Greek legal framework of real estate taxation, which is - if not the most important - one of the most important assets of the Greek family, as well as the subject of major investment programs and business plans in our country. Given the economic importance of real estate in Greece and the continuous and successive amendments of a complex and multifaceted tax legal regime, this dissertation aims to present the transfer, possession and income taxes that imposed on real estate, aspiring to help even the professionals involved with the specific object. However, the present work is not limited only to the presentation of the Greek real estate tax legislation as subject of the Greek Special Tax Law, but also extends to the analysis on the one hand of the pathogenesis of the complex Greek tax system and on the other hand of the substantial impact of an unbearable real estate taxation οn the Greek economy, entrepreneurship and investment. Finally, useful suggestions for the reform of the Greek tax system are presented, contributing to the strengthening of entrepreneurship and generating prospects for recovery of the real estate market and Greek economy.

It has been suggested by research that learning new L2 vocabulary items in clusters (lexical sets) makes learning more difficult. There is also a theoretical framework that strongly supports the idea that it is very useful to present words of related meaning together. The purpose of this study is to investigate which of the two contrasting views will prove to be a useful tool in L2 vocabulary learning. The subjects were 32 beginners EFL adults studying English in Greece. The present paper will examine how word properties (frequency, length and conreteness/abstractness) affect L2 vocabulary learning and will focus on the main conclusion that semantically unrelated vocabulary assists EFL learners.
