Interview with Jonathan Bloom on The Minaret, by Jonathan Bloom
No full textTracing the origins and development of the Minaret, Professor Bloom reveals that this iconic element of Islamic architecture, long understood to have been invented in the early years of Islam as the place from which the muezzin gives the call to prayer, was actually invented some two centuries later to be a visible symbol of Islam. Drawing on buildings, archaeological reports, medieval histories, geographies and early Arabic poetry, Bloom reinterprets the origin, development and meanings of the Minaret. From early Islam to the modern world, and from Iran, Egypt, Turkey and India to West and East Africa, the Yemen and Southeast Asia, this richly illustrated book is a sweeping tour of the Minaret's position as the symbol of Islam.Title supplied by cataloger
Pattern avoidance for set partitions \`a la Klazar
No full textIn 2000 Klazar introduced a new notion of pattern avoidance in the context of
set partitions of . The purpose of the present paper is to
undertake a study of the concept of Wilf-equivalence based on Klazar's notion.
We determine all Wilf-equivalences for partitions with exactly two blocks, one
of which is a singleton block, and we conjecture that, for , these are
all the Wilf-equivalences except for those arising from complementation. If
is a partition of and denotes the set of all
partitions of that avoid , we establish inequalities between
and for several choices of and
, and we prove that if is the partition of with only one
block, then and all partitions
of with exactly two blocks. We conjecture that this result holds
for all partitions of . Finally, we enumerate for
all partitions of

Adding Bloom to High-Dynamic-Range Tone Mapping
No full textWe present a technique for enhancing high-dynamic-range tone mapping algorithms by adding the bloom effect to bright areas. Bloom is based on the fact that real-life lenses convolve light and make bright areas emit a glow. The algorithm takes a set of images with different exposures as input, and performs a tone mapping algorithm on these. It then takes the image with the lowest exposure value to create the bloom effect. It then perform a convolution on this image with with a kernel that represents the response to one point of light. The resulting image is then added on top of the tone mapped image. We also present parameters to change the spread of the glowing effect, how bright an area needs to be to get a significant glow, and the intensity of the glow when applied. Furthermore, the kernel can be changed to create different types of glow and highlights. These things make the technique versatile and allows the photographer to customize the effect.https://github.com/ricardovogel/tonemap-and-bloom Code repositoryCSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin

American Pie: The Politics of Food in the 21st Century
No full textAmerican Pie: The Politics of Food in the 21st Century
In light of the increasing interest in food studies at Penn and in Philadelphia, Penn Libraries is sponsoring the Muriel Pfaelzer Bodek Public Affairs Lecture Series focusing on food policy in the 21st century. The speakers, experts in their fields, address issues relating to global food security, sustainable agriculture, and food waste in America.
Wednesday, April 11, 2012: Jonathan Bloom, The Food Not Eaten :
Jonathan Bloom, journalist and author of American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (and What We Can Do About It) (2010), speaks on how much food we waste, where and why we squander so much, the ethical, environmental, and economic impact of our actions, and, most importantly, how we can minimize waste.
Thursday, April 19, 2012: Alan M. Kelly, Global Food Security: A 21st Century Challenge
Dr. Alan M. Kelly, Dean Emeritus and Professor of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, speaks on the challenges faced by agriculture as it expands production to meet society\u27s growing needs while conserving the environment, controlling the spread of infectious diseases, and accommodating to the vagaries of climate change.
Tuesday, April 24, 2012: John E. Ikerd, The Future of Food: Sustainable Agriculture is not Optional
Dr. John E. Ikerd, Professor Emeritus of Agricultural Economics, University of Missouri, and author of Sustainable Capitalism: A Matter of Common Sense and Small Farms are Real Farms: Sustaining People Through Agriculture, will speak on the need for sustainable agriculture, the challenges facing the movement, and the development of a new and better paradigm.
