Implementation of object attachments by cellular modeling

Proceedings. Computer Graphics International 2001, 2002
We research the defects of geometric modeling in representing object attachments. It is difficult to represent different types of object attachments such as glueing or fusing in current computer graphics. We consider two types of different attachments such that an object is "put" on the top of another object, and an object is "fused" to the top of ...

On Local Objects Attached to and Functions

Integral Transforms and Special Functions, 2000
Weil indices are attached individually to local Well representations of local symplectic groups and, collectively (and in a product formula), to the adelic Weil Θ funtional. Therefore Weil indices can be attached to classical ζ functions. Root numbers, or local constants, are attached to the decomposition of L and functions into local factors.
