The goal of this project is to explore the idea of point-based
radiosity, which is a shooting radiosity technique suggested by Mark
Harris at UNC. The primary idea is that features available in
graphics hardware can be utilized to perform radiosity calculations.
Facilities such as flat shading, diffuse lighting, projective
textures, and mipmapping can be used to replace traditional numerical
solutions for radiosity.
The concept of sustainable development has received growing recognition, but it is a new
idea for many business executives. For most, the concept remains abstract and
theoretical.
Protecting an organization’s capital base is a well-accepted business principle. Yet
organizations do not generally recognize

Returns weighted percentiles of a sample given the weight vector w
％ The idea is to give more emphasis in some examples of data as compared to
％ others by giving more weight. For example, we could give lower weights to
％ the outliers.
％ The motivation to write this function is to compute percentiles for Monte
％ Carlos simulations where some simulations are very bad (in terms of goodness
％ of fit between simulated and actual value) than the others and to give
％ the lower weights based on some goodness of fit criteria.
This the fourth edition of the Writing Device Drivers articles. This article will introduce the idea of device stacks and how devices interact with each other. We will use the previously created example device driver to demonstrate this topic. To do this we will introduce the idea of a “filter” driver in which we will create to attach to our own driver’s device stack.
