Interaction and Expressivity in Video Games: Harnessing the Rhetoric of Film
The film-maker uses the camera and editing creatively, not simply to present the action of the film but also to set up a particular relation between the action and the viewer. In 3D video games with action controlled by the player, the pseudo camera is usually less creatively controlled and has less effect on the player’s appreciation of and engagement with the game. This paper discusses methods of controlling games by easy and intuitive interfaces and use of an automated virtual camera to increase the appeal of games for users
Comment on ``Solution of Classical Stochastic One-Dimensional Many-Body Systems''
In a recent Letter, Bares and Mobilia proposed the method to find solutions
of the stochastic evolution operator with a
non-trivial quartic term . They claim, ``Because of the conservation of
probability, an analog of the Wick theorem applies and all multipoint
correlation functions can be computed.'' Using the Wick theorem, they expressed
the density correlation functions as solutions of a closed set of
integro-differential equations.
In this Comment, however, we show that applicability of Wick theorem is
restricted to the case only.Comment: 1 page, revtex style, comment on paper Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 83},

Solution of classical stochastic one dimensional many-body systems
We propose a simple method that allows, in one dimension, to solve exactly a
wide class of classical stochastic many-body systems far from equilibrium. For
the sake of illustration and without loss of generality, we focus on a model
that describes the asymmetric diffusion of hard core particles in the presence
of an external source and instantaneous annihilation. Starting from a Master
equation formulation of the problem we show that the density and multi-point
correlation functions obey a closed set of integro-differential equations which
in turn can be solved numerically and/or analyticallyComment: 2 figure
Exact multipoint and multitime correlation functions of a one-dimensional model of adsorption and evaporation of dimers
In this work, we provide a method which allows to compute exactly the
multipoint and multi-time correlation functions of a one-dimensional stochastic
model of dimer adsorption-evaporation with random (uncorrelated) initial
states.
In particular explicit expressions of the two-point
noninstantaneous/instantaneous correlation functions are obtained. The
long-time behavior of these expressions is discussed in details and in various
physical regimes.Comment: 6 pages, no figur
Bulk and shear relaxation in glasses and highly viscous liquids
The ratio between the couplings of a relaxational process to compression and
shear, respectively, is calculated in the Eshelby picture of structural
rearrangements within a surrounding elastic matrix, assuming a constant density
of stable structures in distortion space. The result is compared to
experimental data for the low-temperature tunneling states in glasses and to
Prigogine-Defay data at the glass transition from the literature.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 53 references; version after understanding the
Prigogine-Defay ratio at the glass transition in the accompanying paper

Cycle by cycle NOx model for diesel engine control
[EN] This paper presents a model for on-line NOx estimation. The method uses both, low frequency components and high frequency components of in-cylinder pressure signal: it harnesses in-cylinder pressure resonance to estimate the trapped mass, and based on this measurement, a NOx model is adapted to estimate NOx emissions cycle by cycle.
In addition of the in-cylinder pressure signal, the procedure only requires from lambda and air mass flow to estimate NOx, so it can give a direct estimation of NOx or improve transient response and aging of current NOx sensors. The method was validated on a CI engine with high pressure EGR loop under steady and transient conditions showing errors below 10% and cycle by cycle time response. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Critical Properties of Spectral Functions for the 1D Anisotropic t-J Models with an Energy Gap
We exactly calculate the momentum-dependent critical exponents for spectral
functions in the one-dimensional anisotropic t-J models with a gap either in
the spin or charge excitation spectrum. Our approach is based on the Bethe
ansatz technique combined with finite-size scaling techniques in conformal
field theory. It is found that the spectral functions show a power-law
singularity, which occurs at frequencies determined by the dispersion of a
massive spin (or charge) excitation.We discuss how the nontrivial contribution
of a massive excitation controls the singular behavior in optical response
functions.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX, 2 figures(available upon request), accepted for

BOA: Asbestos pipe-insulation removal robot system, Phase 2. Topical report, January--June 1995
This report explored the regulatory impact and cost-benefit of a robotic thermal asbestos pipe-insulation removal system over the current manual abatement work practice. The authors are currently in the second phase of a two-phase program to develop a robotic asbestos abatement system, comprised of a ground-based support system (including vacuum, fluid delivery, computing/electronics/power, and other subsystems) and several on-pipe removal units, each sized to handle pipes within a given diameter range. The intent of this study was to (i) aid in developing design and operational criteria for the overall system to maximize cost-efficiency, and (ii) to determine the commercial potential of a robotic pipe-insulation abatement system
Renormalization group analysis of the spin-gap phase in the one-dimensional t-J model
We study the spin-gap phase in the one-dimensional t-J model, assuming that
it is caused by the backward scattering process. Based on the renormalization
group analysis and symmetry, we can determine the transition point between the
Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid and the spin-gap phases, by the level crossing of the
singlet and the triplet excitations. In contrast to the previous works, the
obtained spin-gap region is unexpectedly large.
We also check that the universality class of the transition belongs to the
SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model.Comment: 4 pages(RevTeX), 5 figures(EPS), TITCMT-97-10, to appear in Phys.

Exact Solution of a Electron System Combining Two Different t-J Models
A new strongly correlated electron model is presented. This is formed by two
types of sites: one where double occupancy is forbidden, as in the t-J model,
and the other where double occupancy is allowed but vacancy is not allowed, as
an inverse t-J model. The Hamiltonian shows nearest and next-to-nearest
neighbour interactions and it is solved by means of a modified algebraic nested
Bethe Ansatz. The number of sites where vacancy is not allowed, may be treated
as a new parameter if the model is looked at as a t-J model with impurities.
The ground and excited states are described in the thermodynamic limit.Comment: Some corrections and references added. To be published in J. Phys.
