The document is a brief exchange between two individuals. It opens with a greeting of "Yo Bro" followed by a question asking "What do you want me to say?". The conversation closes with another use of "LOL".
Visual tracking using particle swarm optimization
The problem of robust extraction of visual odometry from a sequence of images obtained by an
eye in hand camera configuration is addressed. A novel approach toward solving planar
template based tracking is proposed which performs a non-linear image alignment for
successful retrieval of camera transformations. In order to obtain global optimum a biometaheuristic
is used for optimization of similarity among the planar regions. The proposed
method is validated on image sequences with real as well as synthetic transformations and
found to be resilient to intensity variations. A comparative analysis of the various similarity
measures as well as various state-of-art methods reveal that the algorithm succeeds in tracking
the planar regions robustly and has good potential to be used in real applications.
Postimpressionism
Post-Impressionism was a movement in French art that developed after Impressionism in the late 19th century. It was coined by art critic Roger Fry to describe artists who extended Impressionism by rejecting some of its limitations, using vivid colors and thick paint application but also emphasizing geometric forms, distorting forms for expression, and using unnatural or arbitrary color.
ASOCIACION THAUMATHOS EDITORIAL
La Asociación Editorial Thaumathos (del griego, thaumatos, origen de la sabiduría, el asombro y la conmoción ante la contemplación del mundo) nace en marzo de 2010 en Madrid con el objetivo de promover y difundir la creación literaria en lengua española, la animación a la lectura, los estudios de Humanidades, y la cultura en general.
Sin menoscabo de esta amplitud de miras, se encuentra dentro de los propósitos de la Asociación el prestar una atención especial a aquellos autores que por ser jóvenes, noveles, o por contar con escasa obra publicada, hallan dificultades en el actual mercado editorial para difundir su creación literaria.
Actividad 5
Este documento presenta información sobre el tema de la no violencia y la educación para el desarrollo y la formación ciudadana. Explora las dimensiones de la violencia, la no violencia como método de lucha, y las articulaciones y tensiones entre la no violencia y la educación para el desarrollo. Finalmente, discute elementos comunes para responder a los conflictos desde un enfoque de educación para el desarrollo y formación ciudadana.
Choosing Good Keywords
This document provides guidance on choosing effective keywords for search engine optimization. It recommends using 2-4 word phrases that accurately describe what is being offered using everyday language. Keywords should not be too specific or too competitive to rank. Common mistakes to avoid include using single words, terms that are too broad or specific, unpopular terms, and highly competitive keywords. The document also provides examples of word parts and their meanings to help create new keywords.

06. overall review questions
Overall review questions ask about aspects of a passage as a whole rather than small details. The most common types are about where specific information is found, the tone of the passage, the author's purpose in writing the passage, and which course the passage might be part of. To answer tone, purpose, or course questions, examine the main idea, organization of details, and topic of the passage. The author's purpose is often more general than the main idea alone.
05. vocabulary questions
The document provides information about strategies for determining the meaning of unknown words in TOEFL reading comprehension passages. It discusses using structural clues like punctuation, restatement, and examples to identify definitions within a passage. It also explains how to determine meanings from word parts and from the context provided. Specific word endings that indicate a word's grammatical function, like noun, verb, and adjective endings, are outlined as another strategy.
04. indirectly answered questions
This document discusses two types of indirectly answered questions: implied detail questions and transition questions. Implied detail questions contain implied or probable details that must be inferred from information in the passage. Transition questions determine what probably came before or after the passage based on clues in the first or last lines. Both types of questions require drawing conclusions from details rather than speculating without evidence.
03. directly answered questions
This document discusses different types of directly answered questions: stated detail questions, unstated detail questions, and pronoun referent questions.
[1] Stated detail questions ask about specific information stated in the passage and can be answered by restating details given. [2] Unstated detail questions require identifying an answer that is not mentioned in the passage. [3] Pronoun referent questions involve identifying the noun that a pronoun refers to earlier in the passage.
02. ideas of the passage
The document discusses strategies for answering main idea questions on the TOEFL reading comprehension section. It notes that these questions ask about the overall or primary point the author aims to convey. To determine the main idea, read the topic sentence, which is generally in the first paragraph if the passage is one paragraph, or the first line of each paragraph if it is multiple paragraphs. Look for a common theme among these initial sentences. The passage is usually organized traditionally, so skim the rest to find the topic sentence. Eliminate obviously wrong answer choices.
01. introduction to reading comprehension
This document provides an introduction to reading comprehension tests. It discusses that reading comprehension tests typically contain 50 questions to be completed in 55 minutes, including main idea questions, directly and indirectly answered detail questions, and vocabulary questions about words used in passages. The document offers strategies for taking reading comprehension tests, such as skimming passages quickly and never leaving answers blank, as well as discussing common topics and methods for attacking passages.
