Authors:

This chapter focuses on deceptive techniques used in video, specifically applied to Internet video communications. A discussion of deception used in still photography and in film ground the concepts in history with contemporary examples highlighting its role. Some of the historical techniques used to fake photography and create special effects for motion pictures are included as they relate directly to how video can be faked today. A special look at some of the best deception techniques used by the US Army during World War II are also included. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the potential ways that deceptive imaging may be identified through the use of physics.

October 2008 · Journal of Architecture and Planning (Transactions of AIJ)

On this study, we aimed to evaluate the realities, maintenance policy and content of maintenance of campus of National Universities established in the whole country after the end of World War II from historical view. The National Universities were established by reorganizing the higher school institutions under the old educational system. This reorganizing process caused problems of space like ... [Show full abstract] desperation of sites. To solve these problems, the 9th special committee was set up on the University Chartering Council. Three methods were used to maintain the campus of doing at each university based on the point of the committee. The standard when facilities of the campus were maintained succeeded to the difference of the antecedent school. The establishment of National Universities aimed at the establishment of a homogeneous integrated university that assumed the prefecture in the system to be a unit. The maintenance policy succeeded to the difference by the school type by which the empire university before the end of World War II was made the top.

Why fundamental structures are first or second order

April 1994 · Journal of Mathematical Physics

The fundamental result is proven that no G‐structures that are properly of higher order k≥3 can exist; that is, if a differentiable manifold has a geometric structure at all there must exist geometric structure at first or second order. Because this theorem limits the cases to be considered, it is relevant for the classification of G‐structures. Also proven are several results that underscore the ... [Show full abstract] special role of second‐order equation‐of‐motion structures for material bodies. In particular, it is proven that geodesic equation‐of‐motion structures of order k≥3 necessarily admit solutions that break the light barrier.

6-Optics and a general theory of gravitation and electromagnetism

December 1984 · Soviet Physics Journal

It is shown that the equation of motion of material particles in a curved spacetime in the presence of electromagnetic field, known from general relativity, is equivalent to an equation for a geodesic line in a 6-dimensional Riemannian manifold of signature (+----+), at least when a special choice of the 6-metric has been made.

Tensional Motion

December 2018

Thomas Nail

Beginning around the fifth century CE, alongside the decline of the Roman Empire and the increasing decentralization of political power in the West, a new regime of motion began to take hold: tensional force. The task of Part III is to create a kinetic concept of force and explain the theological (descriptive) and kinographic (inscriptive) conditions of its dominant historical emergence in the ... [Show full abstract] West. Chapter 23 offers a purely kinomenological theory of the tensional motions that define the being as force. The thesis of the chapter is that dynamic being is defined by a material and kinetic tensional motion. The kinetic concept of force has three major kinetic features: tensional motion, triangulation, and relation.

A special case in the self-synchronization theory of mechanical vibration exciters

February 1990 · Известия Российской академии наук Механика твердого тела

O. Z. Malakhova

The paper is concerned with the self-synchronization of mechanical vibration exciters with nearly equal partial angular velocities located on a body with a single degree of freedom. It is shown that the necessary conditions for the existence and stability of synchronous motions are based on the integral stability attribute. When the number of exciters, k, is less than 4, these conditions are also ... [Show full abstract] sufficient; for k equal to or greater than 4, these conditions are only necessary. For a special case, sufficient conditions for the existence and stability of synchronous motions are obtained. The problem of the self-synchronization of four exciters, three of which are identical, is considered as an example.

Maneuver warfare theory and the operational level of war: misguiding the Marine Corps?

May 1991

G. Stephen Lauer

The maneuver warfare theory became the basis for Marine Corps doctrine in 1989. The maneuver theory represents a fundamental change in the way the Marine Corps plans to fight future wars. From the balanced combined arms force prior to 1989, this theory postulates the primacy of maneuver and the operational level of war. Inherent in the concept of maneuver is the idea that movement within the ... [Show full abstract] decision cycle of an enemy is the key to victory at any level of war. Maneuver warfare is a style of warfare which alleges to be superior to the concept of firepower/attrition. It is the soundness of this theory which forms the basis of this monograph. History forms the primary source of theory. From theory flows the operational, and then tactical doctrine which forces employ to attain victory on the battlefield. Doctrine forms the basis for training and force structure. The Marine Corps developed an historical appreciation and understanding for the operational level of war as a result of the experience of World War II. In agreement with the historical evolution of the operational level of war, that history demonstrated the need for joint operations, the integrated development and execution of distributed campaigns, and the need for a distributed system of logistics. The theoretical basis of the operational level of war was based on the primacy of destruction to break the will of an enemy. The maneuver warfare theory proposes to change that basis. This monograph refutes the theory of maneuver by demonstrating that the theory is unsound as a basis for the development of operational doctrine. The maneuver assertions that avoidance of battle, deception, momentum, and the primacy of maneuver over firepower are the keys to victory, cannot be demonstrated as truthful. This remains true whether the proof offered is the German army of World War II, or the U. S. Marine Corps. The implication, then, is that an unsound theory leads to an unsound doctrine at the operational level. Thus, the tactical doctrine derived from that operational doctrine must also be flawed. Perhaps of greatest consequence, however, is that the tactical forces which the Marine Corps must build to fight will also be incorrect. In its insistence on an unsound premise for the operational level of war, the maneuver warfare theory misguides the doctrine and forces with which the Marine Corps will fight the next war.

The Deceptive Simplicity of Nāgārjuna's Arguments Against Motion: Another Look at Mūlamadhyamakakāri...

October 2012 · Journal of Indian Philosophy

Dan Arnold

This article—which includes a complete translation of Mūlamadhyamakakārikā chapter 2 together with Candrakīrti's commentary thereon—argues that notwithstanding the many different and often arcane interpretations that have been offered of Nāgārjuna's arguments against motion, there is really just one straightforward kind of argument on offer in this vexed chapter. It is further argued that this ...

The Bust of the Tyrant: an optical illusion

January 1984 · Applied Optics

Wolfgang Dultz

The spectacular optical illusion of the hollow mask is considerably improved by filling the mask with a transparent medium. The mask seems to stare more directly at the onlooker and its deceptive motions follow his movements over a wider field. The history of the illusion of the hollow mask is outlined and the legend of the Bust of the Tyrant is invented. Other ways of making a bust which follows ...

On the Irregularities of Motion of the Foucault Pendulum

January 1970 · Physical Review

A. C. Longden

Synopsis. In a brief historical statement, emphasis is put upon the current opinion that a Foucault pendulum must be very long and very heavy in order to be successful. It is then shown that the elliptical motion so common in Foucault pendulum experiments is not due to insufficient length or weight, or even to atmospheric disturbances, but simply and solely to unequal freedom of motion in ... [Show full abstract] different directions. The disturbing influences are within the pendulum itself. Different forms of support and suspension are discussed, and methods of eliminating the disturbing influences are suggested. What the author describes as a double roller support is shown to be superior to any other form of support thus far proposed. With this support and a perfectly annealed double bifilar suspension, a 2½-meter pendulum weighing a single kilogram succeeds perfectly.
