The 12 prophets dataset
The "Ajeijadinho 3D" project is an initiative supported by the University of
S\~ao Paulo (Museum of Science and Dean of Culture and Extension), which
involves the 3D digitization of art works of Brazilian sculptor Antonio
Francisco Lisboa, better known as Aleijadinho. The project made use of advanced
acquisition and processing of 3D meshes for preservation and dissemination of
the cultural heritage. The dissemination occurs through a Web portal, so that
the population has the opportunity to meet the art works in detail using 3D
visualization and interaction. The portal address is
http://www.aleijadinho3d.icmc.usp.br. The 3D acquisitions were conducted over a
week at the end of July 2013 in the cities of Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil and
Congonhas do Campo, MG, Brazil. The scanning was done with a special equipment
supplied by company Leica Geosystems, which allowed the work to take place at
distances between 10 and 30 meters, defining a non-invasive procedure,
simplified logistics, and without the need for preparation or isolation of the
sites. In Ouro Preto, we digitized the churches of Francisco of Assis, Our Lady
of Carmo, and Our Lady of Mercy; in Congonhas do Campo we scanned the entire
Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos and his 12 prophets. Once scanned, the art
works went through a long process of preparation, which required careful
handling of meshes done by experts from the University of S\~ao Paulo in
partnership with company Imprimate.Comment: Full dataset online at http://aleijadinho3d.icmc.usp.br/data.htm

Self-Interacting Electromagnetic Fields and a Classical Discussion on the Stability of the Electric Charge
The present work proposes a discussion on the self-energy of charged
particles in the framework of nonlinear electrodynamics. We seek magnet- ically
stable solutions generated by purely electric charges whose electric and
magnetic fields are computed as solutions to the Born-Infeld equa- tions. The
approach yields rich internal structures that can be described in terms of the
physical fields with explicit analytic solutions. This suggests that the
anomalous field probably originates from a magnetic excitation in the vacuum
due to the presence of the very intense electric field. In addition, the
magnetic contribution has been found to exert a negative pressure on the
charge. This, in turn, balances the electric repulsion, in such a way that the
self-interaction of the field appears as a simple and natural classical
mechanism that is able to account for the stability of the electron charge.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur
