Download or read book Scales of Captivity written by Mary Pat Brady and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Scales of Captivity, Mary Pat Brady traces the figure of the captive or cast-off child in Latinx and Chicanx literature and art between chattel slavery’s final years and the mass deportations of the twenty-first century. She shows how Latinx expressive practices expose how every rescaling of economic and military power requires new modalities of capture, new ways to bracket and hedge life. Through readings of novels by Helena María Viramontes, Oscar Casares, Lorraine López, Maceo Montoya, Reyna Grande, Daniel Peña, and others, Brady illustrates how submerged captivities reveal the way mechanisms of constraint such as deportability ground institutional forms of carceral modernity and how such practices scale relations by naturalizing the logic of scalar hierarchies underpinning racial capitalism. By showing how representations of the captive child critique the entrenched logic undergirding colonial power, Brady challenges racialized modes of citizenship while offering visions for living beyond borders.

Download or read book Scale Space written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Scale Space Scale-space theory is a framework for multi-scale signal representation developed by the computer vision, image processing and signal processing communities with complementary motivations from physics and biological vision. It is a formal theory for handling image structures at different scales, by representing an image as a one-parameter family of smoothed images, the scale-space representation, parametrized by the size of the smoothing kernel used for suppressing fine-scale structures. The parameter in this family is referred to as the scale parameter, with the interpretation that image structures of spatial size smaller than about have largely been smoothed away in the scale-space level at scale . How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Scale Space Chapter 2: Edge detection Chapter 3: Gaussian blur Chapter 4: Difference of Gaussians Chapter 5: Scale-invariant feature transform Chapter 6: Multi-scale approaches Chapter 7: Structure tensor Chapter 8: Pyramid (image processing) Chapter 9: Anisotropic diffusion Chapter 10: Gabor filter (II) Answering the public top questions about scale space. (III) Real world examples for the usage of scale space in many fields.

Download or read book The Dragon s Son written by Margaret Weis and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mistress of Dragons we were introduced to a world where political deception, greed, and avarice have lead to a violation of the "hands off" policy of the Parliament of Dragons concerning the affairs of men. Indeed that violation threatens more than policy and order it threatens the peaceful existence of the human race. Man's only hope and his greatest threat is The Dragon's Son Twins born out of violence and raised apart. Ven (short for Vengeance) is raised in seclusion under the watchful eye of his deceased mother's Amazonian lover. He is a child whose appearance belies his heritage - half-man/ half-dragon. Marcus is raised in a court, and given all of the protections and breeding that would entail. He appears to be completely human, yet his psychic link with the brother he has never known betrays the dragon magic that lies within him. It is up to the dragon emissary who passes himself off as a man, Draconas, to protect them both before the internecine struggle destroys the Parliament of Dragons and brings an oppressive reign of fire down upon all mortal men.
