In contrast with what happens for two-dimensional polarization states, defined as those whose electric field fluctuates in a fixed plane, which can readily be represented by means of the Poincaré sphere, the complete description of general three-dimensional polarization states involves nine measurable parameters, called the generalized Stokes parameters, so that the generalized Poincaré object takes the complicated form of an eight-dimensional quadric hypersurface. In this work, the geometric representation of general polarization states, described by means of a simple polarization object constituted by the combination of an ellipsoid and a vector, is interpreted in terms of the intrinsic Stokes parameters, which allows for a complete and systematic classification of polarization states in terms of meaningful rotationally invariant descriptors.

A framework for the detailed classification of general crystal structures, based on an arithmetic criterion, has been proposed in recent years. In this paper it is shown how this method can also be applied to enumerate colored crystals. To illustrate this approach, the systematic classification in the simplest case,i.e.of `2-color 2-lattices', in two and three dimensions (two- and three-dimensional crystals with two differently colored atoms per unit translational cell) is presented. 51 distinct types of 2-color 2-lattices are found in three dimensions (ten types in two dimensions); this gives a complete catalog of the simplest crystal structures that are theoretically possible for two-element compounds. Among the 51 2-lattices, all those which already have aStrukturberichtedenomination are retrieved, as well as the 22 `black-and-white lattices' considered in the theory of magnetic crystals. The symmetry hierarchies and symmetry-breaking possibilities for 2-color 2-lattices are also determined in two and three dimensions.

Universals Archive (Universal #1926) indicates a universal tendency for sound symbolism in reference to the expression of diminutives and augmentatives. The research ( Štekauer et al. 2009 ) carried out on European languages has not proved the tendency at all. Therefore, our research was extended to cover three language families – Indo-European, Niger-Congo and Austronesian. A three-step analysis examining different aspects of phonetic symbolism was carried out on a core vocabulary of 35 lexical items. A research sample was selected out of 60 languages. The evaluative markers were analyzed according to both phonetic classification of vowels and consonants and Ultan's and Niewenhuis' conclusions on the dominance of palatal and post-alveolar consonants in diminutive markers. Finally, the data obtained in our sample languages was evaluated by means of a three-dimensional model illustrating the place of articulation of the individual segments.

AbstractThe selection and manipulation of objects in Virtual Reality face application developers with a substantial challenge as they need to ensure a seamless interaction in three-dimensional space. Assessing the advantages and disadvantages of selection and manipulation techniques in specific scenarios and regarding usability and user experience is a mandatory task to find suitable forms of interaction. In this article, we take a look at the most common issues arising in the interaction with objects in VR. We present a taxonomy allowing the classification of techniques regarding multiple dimensions. The issues are then associated with these dimensions. Furthermore, we analyze the results of a study comparing multiple selection techniques and present a tool allowing developers of VR applications to search for appropriate selection and manipulation techniques and to get scenario dependent suggestions based on the data of the executed study.

With the increase of the number of loaded goods, the number of optional loading schemes will increase exponentially. It is a long time and low efficiency to determine the loading scheme with experience. Genetic algorithm is a search heuristic algorithm used to solve optimization in the field of computer science artificial intelligence. Genetic algorithm can effectively select the optimal loading scheme but unable to utilize weight and volume capacity of cargo and truck. In this paper, we propose hybrid Genetic and fuzzy logic based cargo-loading decision making model that focus on achieving maximum profit with maximum utilization of weight and volume capacity of cargo and truck. In this paper, first of all, the components of the problem of goods stowage in the distribution center are analyzed systematically, which lays the foundation for the reasonable classification of the problem of goods stowage and the establishment of the mathematical model of the problem of goods stowage. Secondly, the paper abstracts and defines the problem of goods loading in distribution center, establishes the mathematical model for the optimization of single car three-dimensional goods loading, and designs the genetic algorithm for solving the model. Finally, Matlab is used to solve the optimization model of cargo loading, and the good performance of the algorithm is verified by an example. From the performance evaluation analysis, proposed the hybrid system achieve better outcomes than the standard SA model, GA method, and TS strategy.
