In the realm of English writing, the ability to convey thoughts, emotions, and ideas effectively is paramount. Whether it's academic essays, creative pieces, or professional documents, expressiveness plays a pivotal role in capturing the reader's attention and conveying the intended message with clarity and impact. Here are some strategies to enhance expressiveness in English writing:1. Vivid Vocabulary Selection:Utilizing a diverse range of vocabulary enriches the texture of writing and allows for more precise expression. Instead of relying on mundane words, explore synonyms, idiomatic expressions, and figurative language to paint a vivid picture for the reader. For instance, rather than saying "good," one could use "excellent," "superb," or "stellar" to convey a stronger sense of quality.2. Imagery and Descriptive Language:Engage the reader's senses by incorporating descriptive language and vivid imagery into your writing. Describe scenes, characters, and emotions in detail, using sensory details such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. This not only makes the writing more immersive but also enhances the reader's understanding and emotional connection to the content.3. Varied Sentence Structure:Experiment with different sentence structures to add rhythm and flow to your writing. Avoid monotony by combining short, punchy sentences with longer, more complex ones. Incorporate rhetorical devices such as parallelism, antithesis, and repetition to add emphasis and intrigue to your prose.4. Emotional Appeal:Infuse your writing with emotion to evoke empathy and resonance in the reader. Whether it's through personal anecdotes, poignant anecdotes, or heartfelt appeals, tapping into the reader's emotions can make your writing more compelling and memorable. However, it's essential to strike a balance and avoid excessive sentimentality or melodrama.5. Effective Use of Literary Devices:Familiarize yourself with a variety of literary devices such as similes, metaphors, symbolism, and irony, and integrate them judiciously into your writing. These devices can add depth, complexity, and layers of meaning to your work, making it more engaging and thought-provokingfor the reader.6. Revision and Editing:Writing is a process, and revising and editing are essential steps in refining and enhancing expressiveness. Take the time to review your writing critically, payingattention to clarity, coherence, and conciseness. Trim unnecessary words, clarify ambiguous phrasing, and polish your prose until it shines.7. Read Widely and Analytically:Immerse yourself in a wide range of literature, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and essays, to expose yourself to different writing styles, voices, and techniques. Analyze how skilled writers craft their sentences, develop their characters, and evoke emotions,and apply those insights to your own writing practice.In conclusion, enhancing expressiveness in English writing requires a combination of creativity, craftsmanship, and careful attention to detail. By incorporating vivid vocabulary, imagery, varied sentence structures, emotional appeal, literary devices, and thorough revision, you can elevate your writing to new heights and captivate readers with your wordsmithing prowess. Keep honing your skills, exploring new techniques, and striving for excellence, andyour writing will continue to evolve and resonate with audiences.。

ABSTRACT Progressive Simplicial Complexes

Progressive Simplicial Complexes Jovan Popovi´c Hugues HoppeCarnegie Mellon University Microsoft ResearchABSTRACTIn this paper,we introduce the progressive simplicial complex(PSC) representation,a new format for storing and transmitting triangu-lated geometric models.Like the earlier progressive mesh(PM) representation,it captures a given model as a coarse base model together with a sequence of reﬁnement transformations that pro-gressively recover detail.The PSC representation makes use of a more general reﬁnement transformation,allowing the given model to be an arbitrary triangulation(e.g.any dimension,non-orientable, non-manifold,non-regular),and the base model to always consist of a single vertex.Indeed,the sequence of reﬁnement transforma-tions encodes both the geometry and the topology of the model in a uniﬁed multiresolution framework.The PSC representation retains the advantages of PM’s.It deﬁnes a continuous sequence of approx-imating models for runtime level-of-detail control,allows smooth transitions between any pair of models in the sequence,supports progressive transmission,and offers a space-efﬁcient representa-tion.Moreover,by allowing changes to topology,the PSC sequence of approximations achieves betterﬁdelity than the corresponding PM sequence.We develop an optimization algorithm for constructing PSC representations for graphics surface models,and demonstrate the framework on models that are both geometrically and topologically complex.CR Categories:I.3.5[Computer Graphics]:Computational Geometry and Object Modeling-surfaces and

systems commonly give rise to triangle meshes of high complexity.Such meshes are notoriously difﬁcult to render,store,and transmit.One approach to speed up rendering is to replace a complex mesh by a set of level-of-detail(LOD) approximations;a detailed mesh is used when the object is close to the viewer,and coarser approximations are substituted as the object recedes[6,8].These LOD approximations can be precomputed Work performed while at Microsoft Research.Email:jovan@,hhoppe@Web:/jovan/Web:/hoppe/automatically using mesh simpliﬁcation methods(e.g.[2,10,14,20,21,22,24,27]).For efﬁcient storage and transmission,meshcompression schemes[7,26]have also been developed.The recently introduced progressive mesh(PM)representa-tion[13]provides a uniﬁed solution to these problems.In PM form,an arbitrary mesh M is stored as a coarse base mesh M0together witha sequence of n detail records that indicate how to incrementally re-ﬁne M0into M n=M(see Figure7).Each detail record encodes theinformation associated with a vertex split,an elementary transfor-mation that adds one vertex to the mesh.In addition to deﬁninga continuous sequence of approximations M0M n,the PM rep-resentation supports smooth visual transitions(geomorphs),allowsprogressive transmission,and makes an effective mesh compressionscheme.The PM representation has two restrictions,however.First,it canonly represent meshes:triangulations that correspond to orientable12-dimensional manifolds.Triangulated2models that cannot be rep-resented include1-d manifolds(open and closed curves),higherdimensional polyhedra(e.g.triangulated volumes),non-orientablesurfaces(e.g.M¨o bius strips),non-manifolds(e.g.two cubes joinedalong an edge),and non-regular models(i.e.models of mixed di-mensionality).Second,the expressiveness of the PM vertex splittransformations constrains all meshes M0M n to have the same topological type.Therefore,when M is topologically complex,the simpliﬁed base mesh M0may still have numerous triangles(Fig-ure7).In contrast,a number of existing simpliﬁcation methods allowtopological changes as the model is simpliﬁed(Section6).Ourwork is inspired by vertex uniﬁcation schemes[21,22],whichmerge vertices of the model based on geometric proximity,therebyallowing genus modiﬁcation and component merging.In this paper,we introduce the progressive simplicial complex(PSC)representation,a generalization of the PM representation thatpermits topological changes.The key element of our approach isthe introduction of a more general reﬁnement transformation,thegeneralized vertex split,that encodes changes to both the geometryand topology of the model.The PSC representation expresses anarbitrary triangulated model M(e.g.any dimension,non-orientable,non-manifold,non-regular)as the result of successive reﬁnementsapplied to a base model M1that always consists of a single vertex (Figure8).Thus both geometric and topological complexity are recovered progressively.Moreover,the PSC representation retains the advantages of PM’s,including continuous LOD,geomorphs, progressive transmission,and model compression.In addition,we develop an optimization algorithm for construct-ing a PSC representation from a given model,as described in Sec-tion4.1The particular parametrization of vertex splits in[13]assumes that mesh triangles are consistently oriented.2Throughout this paper,we use the words“triangulated”and“triangula-tion”in the general dimension-independent sense.Figure 1:Illustration of a simplicial complex K and some of its subsets.2BACKGROUND2.1Concepts from algebraic topologyTo precisely deﬁne both triangulated models and their PSC repre-sentations,we ﬁnd it useful to introduce some elegant abstractions from algebraic topology (e.g.[15,25]).The geometry of a triangulated model is denoted as a tuple (K V )where the abstract simplicial complex K is a combinatorial structure specifying the adjacency of vertices,edges,triangles,etc.,and V is a set of vertex positions specifying the shape of the model in 3.More precisely,an abstract simplicial complex K consists of a set of vertices 1m together with a set of non-empty subsets of the vertices,called the simplices of K ,such that any set consisting of exactly one vertex is a simplex in K ,and every non-empty subset of a simplex in K is also a simplex in K .A simplex containing exactly d +1vertices has dimension d and is called a d -simplex.As illustrated pictorially in Figure 1,the faces of a simplex s ,denoted s ,is the set of non-empty subsets of s .The star of s ,denoted star(s ),is the set of simplices of which s is a face.The children of a d -simplex s are the (d 1)-simplices of s ,and its parents are the (d +1)-simplices of star(s ).A simplex with exactly one parent is said to be a boundary simplex ,and one with no parents a principal simplex .The dimension of K is the maximum dimension of its simplices;K is said to be regular if all its principal simplices have the same dimension.To form a triangulation from K ,identify its vertices 1m with the standard basis vectors 1m ofm.For each simplex s ,let the open simplex smdenote the interior of the convex hull of its vertices:s =m:jmj =1j=1jjsThe topological realization K is deﬁned as K =K =s K s .The geometric realization of K is the image V (K )where V :m 3is the linear map that sends the j -th standard basis vector jm to j 3.Only a restricted set of vertex positions V =1m lead to an embedding of V (K )3,that is,prevent self-intersections.The geometric realization V (K )is often called a simplicial complex or polyhedron ;it is formed by an arbitrary union of points,segments,triangles,tetrahedra,etc.Note that there generally exist many triangulations (K V )for a given polyhedron.(Some of the vertices V may lie in the polyhedron’s interior.)Two sets are said to be homeomorphic (denoted =)if there ex-ists a continuous one-to-one mapping between them.Equivalently,they are said to have the same topological type .The topological realization K is a d-dimensional manifold without boundary if for each vertex j ,star(j )=d .It is a d-dimensional manifold if each star(v )is homeomorphic to either d or d +,where d +=d:10.Two simplices s 1and s 2are d-adjacent if they have a common d -dimensional face.Two d -adjacent (d +1)-simplices s 1and s 2are manifold-adjacent if star(s 1s 2)=d +1.Figure 2:Illustration of the edge collapse transformation and its inverse,the vertex split.Transitive closure of 0-adjacency partitions K into connected com-ponents .Similarly,transitive closure of manifold-adjacency parti-tions K into manifold components .2.2Review of progressive meshesIn the PM representation [13],a mesh with appearance attributes is represented as a tuple M =(K V D S ),where the abstract simpli-cial complex K is restricted to deﬁne an orientable 2-dimensional manifold,the vertex positions V =1m determine its ge-ometric realization V (K )in3,D is the set of discrete material attributes d f associated with 2-simplices f K ,and S is the set of scalar attributes s (v f )(e.g.normals,texture coordinates)associated with corners (vertex-face tuples)of K .An initial mesh M =M n is simpliﬁed into a coarser base mesh M 0by applying a sequence of n successive edge collapse transforma-tions:(M =M n )ecol n 1ecol 1M 1ecol 0M 0As shown in Figure 2,each ecol uniﬁes the two vertices of an edgea b ,thereby removing one or two triangles.The position of the resulting uniﬁed vertex can be arbitrary.Because the edge collapse transformation has an inverse,called the vertex split transformation (Figure 2),the process can be reversed,so that an arbitrary mesh M may be represented as a simple mesh M 0together with a sequence of n vsplit records:M 0vsplit 0M 1vsplit 1vsplit n 1(M n =M )The tuple (M 0vsplit 0vsplit n 1)forms a progressive mesh (PM)representation of M .The PM representation thus captures a continuous sequence of approximations M 0M n that can be quickly traversed for interac-tive level-of-detail control.Moreover,there exists a correspondence between the vertices of any two meshes M c and M f (0c f n )within this sequence,allowing for the construction of smooth vi-sual transitions (geomorphs)between them.A sequence of such geomorphs can be precomputed for smooth runtime LOD.In addi-tion,PM’s support progressive transmission,since the base mesh M 0can be quickly transmitted ﬁrst,followed the vsplit sequence.Finally,the vsplit records can be encoded concisely,making the PM representation an effective scheme for mesh compression.Topological constraints Because the deﬁnitions of ecol and vsplit are such that they preserve the topological type of the mesh (i.e.all K i are homeomorphic),there is a constraint on the min-imum complexity that K 0may achieve.For instance,it is known that the minimal number of vertices for a closed genus g mesh (ori-entable 2-manifold)is (7+(48g +1)12)2if g =2(10if g =2)[16].Also,the presence of boundary components may further constrain the complexity of K 0.Most importantly,K may consist of a number of components,and each is required to appear in the base mesh.For example,the meshes in Figure 7each have 117components.As evident from the ﬁgure,the geometry of PM meshes may deteriorate severely as they approach topological lower bound.M 1;100;(1)M 10;511;(7)M 50;4656;(12)M 200;1552277;(28)M 500;3968690;(58)M 2000;14253219;(108)M 5000;029010;(176)M n =34794;0068776;(207)Figure 3:Example of a PSC representation.The image captions indicate the number of principal 012-simplices respectively and the number of connected components (in parenthesis).3PSC REPRESENTATION 3.1Triangulated modelsThe ﬁrst step towards generalizing PM’s is to let the PSC repre-sentation encode more general triangulated models,instead of just meshes.We denote a triangulated model as a tuple M =(K V D A ).The abstract simplicial complex K is not restricted to 2-manifolds,but may in fact be arbitrary.To represent K in memory,we encode the incidence graph of the simplices using the following linked structures (in C++notation):struct Simplex int dim;//0=vertex,1=edge,2=triangle,...int id;Simplex*children[MAXDIM+1];//[0..dim]List<Simplex*>parents;;To render the model,we draw only the principal simplices ofK ,denoted (K )(i.e.vertices not adjacent to edges,edges not adjacent to triangles,etc.).The discrete attributes D associate amaterial identiﬁer d s with each simplex s(K ).For the sake of simplicity,we avoid explicitly storing surface normals at “corners”(using a set S )as done in [13].Instead we let the material identiﬁer d s contain a smoothing group ﬁeld [28],and let a normal discontinuity (crease )form between any pair of adjacent triangles with different smoothing groups.Previous vertex uniﬁcation schemes [21,22]render principal simplices of dimension 0and 1(denoted 01(K ))as points and lines respectively with ﬁxed,device-dependent screen widths.To better approximate the model,we instead deﬁne a set A that associates an area a s A with each simplex s 01(K ).We think of a 0-simplex s 00(K )as approximating a sphere with area a s 0,and a 1-simplex s 1=j k 1(K )as approximating a cylinder (with axis (j k ))of area a s 1.To render a simplex s 01(K ),we determine the radius r model of the corresponding sphere or cylinder in modeling space,and project the length r model to obtain the radius r screen in screen pixels.Depending on r screen ,we render the simplex as a polygonal sphere or cylinder with radius r model ,a 2D point or line with thickness 2r screen ,or do not render it at all.This choice based on r screen can be adjusted to mitigate the overhead of introducing polygonal representations of spheres and cylinders.As an example,Figure 3shows an initial model M of 68,776triangles.One of its approximations M 500is a triangulated model with 3968690principal 012-simplices respectively.3.2Level-of-detail sequenceAs in progressive meshes,from a given triangulated model M =M n ,we deﬁne a sequence of approximations M i :M 1op 1M 2op 2M n1op n 1M nHere each model M i has exactly i vertices.The simpliﬁcation op-erator M ivunify iM i +1is the vertex uniﬁcation transformation,whichmerges two vertices (Section 3.3),and its inverse M igvspl iM i +1is the generalized vertex split transformation (Section 3.4).Thetuple (M 1gvspl 1gvspl n 1)forms a progressive simplicial complex (PSC)representation of M .To construct a PSC representation,we ﬁrst determine a sequence of vunify transformations simplifying M down to a single vertex,as described in Section 4.After reversing these transformations,we renumber the simplices in the order that they are created,so thateach gvspl i (a i)splits the vertex a i K i into two vertices a i i +1K i +1.As vertices may have different positions in the different models,we denote the position of j in M i as i j .To better approximate a surface model M at lower complexity levels,we initially associate with each (principal)2-simplex s an area a s equal to its triangle area in M .Then,as the model is simpliﬁed,wekeep constant the sum of areas a s associated with principal simplices within each manifold component.When2-simplices are eventually reduced to principal1-simplices and0-simplices,their associated areas will provide good estimates of the original component areas.3.3Vertex uniﬁcation transformationThe transformation vunify(a i b i midp i):M i M i+1takes an arbitrary pair of vertices a i b i K i+1(simplex a i b i need not be present in K i+1)and merges them into a single vertex a i K i. Model M i is created from M i+1by updating each member of the tuple(K V D A)as follows:K:References to b i in all simplices of K are replaced by refer-ences to a i.More precisely,each simplex s in star(b i)K i+1is replaced by simplex(s b i)a i,which we call the ancestor simplex of s.If this ancestor simplex already exists,s is deleted.V:Vertex b is deleted.For simplicity,the position of the re-maining(uniﬁed)vertex is set to either the midpoint or is left unchanged.That is,i a=(i+1a+i+1b)2if the boolean parameter midp i is true,or i a=i+1a otherwise.D:Materials are carried through as expected.So,if after the vertex uniﬁcation an ancestor simplex(s b i)a i K i is a new principal simplex,it receives its material from s K i+1if s is a principal simplex,or else from the single parent s a i K i+1 of s.A:To maintain the initial areas of manifold components,the areasa s of deleted principal simplices are redistributed to manifold-adjacent neighbors.More concretely,the area of each princi-pal d-simplex s deleted during the K update is distributed toa manifold-adjacent d-simplex not in star(a ib i).If no suchneighbor exists and the ancestor of s is a principal simplex,the area a s is distributed to that ancestor simplex.Otherwise,the manifold component(star(a i b i))of s is being squashed be-tween two other manifold components,and a s is discarded. 3.4Generalized vertex split transformation Constructing the PSC representation involves recording the infor-mation necessary to perform the inverse of each vunify i.This inverse is the generalized vertex split gvspl i,which splits a0-simplex a i to introduce an additional0-simplex b i.(As mentioned previously, renumbering of simplices implies b i i+1,so index b i need not be stored explicitly.)Each gvspl i record has the formgvspl i(a i C K i midp i()i C D i C A i)and constructs model M i+1from M i by updating the tuple (K V D A)as follows:K:As illustrated in Figure4,any simplex adjacent to a i in K i can be the vunify result of one of four conﬁgurations in K i+1.To construct K i+1,we therefore replace each ancestor simplex s star(a i)in K i by either(1)s,(2)(s a i)i+1,(3)s and(s a i)i+1,or(4)s,(s a i)i+1and s i+1.The choice is determined by a split code associated with s.Thesesplit codes are stored as a code string C Ki ,in which the simplicesstar(a i)are sortedﬁrst in order of increasing dimension,and then in order of increasing simplex id,as shown in Figure5. V:The new vertex is assigned position i+1i+1=i ai+()i.Theother vertex is given position i+1ai =i ai()i if the boolean pa-rameter midp i is true;otherwise its position remains unchanged.D:The string C Di is used to assign materials d s for each newprincipal simplex.Simplices in C Di ,as well as in C Aibelow,are sorted by simplex dimension and simplex id as in C Ki. A:During reconstruction,we are only interested in the areas a s fors01(K).The string C Ai tracks changes in these areas.Figure4:Effects of split codes on simplices of various dimensions.code string:41422312{}Figure5:Example of split code encoding.3.5PropertiesLevels of detail A graphics application can efﬁciently transitionbetween models M1M n at runtime by performing a sequence ofvunify or gvspl transformations.Our current research prototype wasnot designed for efﬁciency;it attains simpliﬁcation rates of about6000vunify/sec and reﬁnement rates of about5000gvspl/sec.Weexpect that a careful redesign using more efﬁcient data structureswould signiﬁcantly improve these rates.Geomorphs As in the PM representation,there exists a corre-spondence between the vertices of the models M1M n.Given acoarser model M c and aﬁner model M f,1c f n,each vertexj K f corresponds to a unique ancestor vertex f c(j)K cfound by recursively traversing the ancestor simplex relations:f c(j)=j j cf c(a j1)j cThis correspondence allows the creation of a smooth visual transi-tion(geomorph)M G()such that M G(1)equals M f and M G(0)looksidentical to M c.The geomorph is deﬁned as the modelM G()=(K f V G()D f A G())in which each vertex position is interpolated between its originalposition in V f and the position of its ancestor in V c:Gj()=()fj+(1)c f c(j)However,we must account for the special rendering of principalsimplices of dimension0and1(Section3.1).For each simplexs01(K f),we interpolate its area usinga G s()=()a f s+(1)a c swhere a c s=0if s01(K c).In addition,we render each simplexs01(K c)01(K f)using area a G s()=(1)a c s.The resultinggeomorph is visually smooth even as principal simplices are intro-duced,removed,or change dimension.The accompanying video demonstrates a sequence of such geomorphs.Progressive transmission As with PM’s,the PSC representa-tion can be progressively transmitted by ﬁrst sending M 1,followed by the gvspl records.Unlike the base mesh of the PM,M 1always consists of a single vertex,and can therefore be sent in a ﬁxed-size record.The rendering of lower-dimensional simplices as spheres and cylinders helps to quickly convey the overall shape of the model in the early stages of transmission.Model compression Although PSC gvspl are more general than PM vsplit transformations,they offer a surprisingly concise representation of M .Table 1lists the average number of bits re-quired to encode each ﬁeld of the gvspl records.Using arithmetic coding [30],the vertex id ﬁeld a i requires log 2i bits,and the boolean parameter midp i requires 0.6–0.9bits for our models.The ()i delta vector is quantized to 16bitsper coordinate (48bits per),and stored as a variable-length ﬁeld [7,13],requiring about 31bits on average.At ﬁrst glance,each split code in the code string C K i seems to have 4possible outcomes (except for the split code for 0-simplex a i which has only 2possible outcomes).However,there exist constraints between these split codes.For example,in Figure 5,the code 1for 1-simplex id 1implies that 2-simplex id 1also has code 1.This in turn implies that 1-simplex id 2cannot have code 2.Similarly,code 2for 1-simplex id 3implies a code 2for 2-simplex id 2,which in turn implies that 1-simplex id 4cannot have code 1.These constraints,illustrated in the “scoreboard”of Figure 6,can be summarized using the following two rules:(1)If a simplex has split code c12,all of its parents havesplit code c .(2)If a simplex has split code 3,none of its parents have splitcode 4.As we encode split codes in C K i left to right,we apply these two rules (and their contrapositives)transitively to constrain the possible outcomes for split codes yet to be ing arithmetic coding with uniform outcome probabilities,these constraints reduce the code string length in Figure 6from 15bits to 102bits.In our models,the constraints reduce the code string from 30bits to 14bits on average.The code string is further reduced using a non-uniform probability model.We create an array T [0dim ][015]of encoding tables,indexed by simplex dimension (0..dim)and by the set of possible (constrained)split codes (a 4-bit mask).For each simplex s ,we encode its split code c using the probability distribution found in T [s dim ][s codes mask ].For 2-dimensional models,only 10of the 48tables are non-trivial,and each table contains at most 4probabilities,so the total size of the probability model is small.These encoding tables reduce the code strings to approximately 8bits as shown in Table 1.By comparison,the PM representation requires approximately 5bits for the same information,but of course it disallows topological changes.To provide more intuition for the efﬁciency of the PSC repre-sentation,we note that capturing the connectivity of an average 2-manifold simplicial complex (n vertices,3n edges,and 2n trian-gles)requires ni =1(log 2i +8)n (log 2n +7)bits with PSC encoding,versus n (12log 2n +95)bits with a traditional one-way incidence graph representation.For improved compression,it would be best to use a hybrid PM +PSC representation,in which the more concise PM vertex split encoding is used when the local neighborhood is an orientableFigure 6:Constraints on the split codes for the simplices in the example of Figure 5.Table 1:Compression results and construction times.Object#verts Space required

principalsimplex sstar(a i )star(b i )K i +1by constructing an ordered set D s of materials found in star(a i )K i .To improve the coding model,the ﬁrst materials in D s are those of principal simplices in star(s )K i where s is the ancestor of s ;the remainingmaterials in star(a i )K i are appended to D s .The entry in C D i associated with s is the index of its material in D s ,encoded arithmetically.If the material of s is not present in D s ,it is speciﬁed explicitly as a global index in D .We encode C A i by specifying the area a s for each new principalsimplex s 01(star(a i )star(b i ))K i +1.To account for this redistribution of area,we identify the principal simplex from which s receives its area by specifying its index in 01(star(a i ))K i .The column labeled in Table 1sums the bits of each ﬁeld of the gvspl records.Multiplying by the number n of vertices in M gives the total number of bits for the PSC representation of the model (e.g.500KB for the destroyer).By way of compari-son,the next column shows the number of bits per vertex required in a traditional “IndexedFaceSet”representation,with quantization of 16bits per coordinate and arithmetic coding of face materials (3n 16+2n 3log 2n +materials).4PSC CONSTRUCTIONIn this section,we describe a scheme for iteratively choosing pairs of vertices to unify,in order to construct a PSC representation.Our algorithm,a generalization of [13],is time-intensive,seeking high quality approximations.It should be emphasized that many quality metrics are possible.For instance,the quadric error metric recently introduced by Garland and Heckbert [9]provides a different trade-off of execution speed and visual quality.As in [13,20],we ﬁrst compute a cost E for each candidate vunify transformation,and enter the candidates into a priority queueordered by ascending cost.Then,in each iteration i =n 11,we perform the vunify at the front of the queue and update the costs of affected candidates.4.1Forming set of candidate vertex pairs In principle,we could enter all possible pairs of vertices from M into the priority queue,but this would be prohibitively expensive since simpliﬁcation would then require at least O(n2log n)time.Instead, we would like to consider only a smaller set of candidate vertex pairs.Naturally,should include the1-simplices of K.Additional pairs should also be included in to allow distinct connected com-ponents of M to merge and to facilitate topological changes.We considered several schemes for forming these additional pairs,in-cluding binning,octrees,and k-closest neighbor graphs,but opted for the Delaunay triangulation because of its adaptability on models containing components at different scales.We compute the Delaunay triangulation of the vertices of M, represented as a3-dimensional simplicial complex K DT.We deﬁne the initial set to contain both the1-simplices of K and the subset of1-simplices of K DT that connect vertices in different connected components of K.During the simpliﬁcation process,we apply each vertex uniﬁcation performed on M to as well in order to keep consistent the set of candidate pairs.For models in3,star(a i)has constant size in the average case,and the overall simpliﬁcation algorithm requires O(n log n) time.(In the worst case,it could require O(n2log n)time.)4.2Selecting vertex uniﬁcations fromFor each candidate vertex pair(a b),the associated vunify(a b):M i M i+1is assigned the costE=E dist+E disc+E area+E foldAs in[13],theﬁrst term is E dist=E dist(M i)E dist(M i+1),where E dist(M)measures the geometric accuracy of the approximate model M.Conceptually,E dist(M)approximates the continuous integralMd2(M)where d(M)is the Euclidean distance of the point to the closest point on M.We discretize this integral by deﬁning E dist(M)as the sum of squared distances to M from a dense set of points X sampled from the original model M.We sample X from the set of principal simplices in K—a strategy that generalizes to arbitrary triangulated models.In[13],E disc(M)measures the geometric accuracy of disconti-nuity curves formed by a set of sharp edges in the mesh.For the PSC representation,we generalize the concept of sharp edges to that of sharp simplices in K—a simplex is sharp either if it is a boundary simplex or if two of its parents are principal simplices with different material identiﬁers.The energy E disc is deﬁned as the sum of squared distances from a set X disc of points sampled from sharp simplices to the discontinuity components from which they were sampled.Minimization of E disc therefore preserves the geom-etry of material boundaries,normal discontinuities(creases),and triangulation boundaries(including boundary curves of a surface and endpoints of a curve).We have found it useful to introduce a term E area that penalizes surface stretching(a more sophisticated version of the regularizing E spring term of[13]).Let A i+1N be the sum of triangle areas in the neighborhood star(a i)star(b i)K i+1,and A i N the sum of triangle areas in star(a i)K i.The mean squared displacement over the neighborhood N due to the change in area can be approx-imated as disp2=12(A i+1NA iN)2.We let E area=X N disp2,where X N is the number of points X projecting in the neighborhood. To prevent model self-intersections,the last term E fold penalizes surface folding.We compute the rotation of each oriented triangle in the neighborhood due to the vertex uniﬁcation(as in[10,20]).If any rotation exceeds a threshold angle value,we set E fold to a large constant.Unlike[13],we do not optimize over the vertex position i a, but simply evaluate E for i a i+1a i+1b(i+1a+i+1b)2and choose the best one.This speeds up the optimization,improves model compression,and allows us to introduce non-quadratic energy terms like E area.5RESULTSTable1gives quantitative results for the examples in theﬁgures and in the video.Simpliﬁcation times for our prototype are measured on an SGI Indigo2Extreme(150MHz R4400).Although these times may appear prohibitive,PSC construction is an off-line task that only needs to be performed once per model.Figure9highlights some of the beneﬁts of the PSC representa-tion.The pearls in the chandelier model are initially disconnected tetrahedra;these tetrahedra merge and collapse into1-d curves in lower-complexity approximations.Similarly,the numerous polyg-onal ropes in the schooner model are simpliﬁed into curves which can be rendered as line segments.The straps of the sandal model initially have some thickness;the top and bottom sides of these straps merge in the simpliﬁcation.Also note the disappearance of the holes on the sandal straps.The castle example demonstrates that the original model need not be a mesh;here M is a1-dimensional non-manifold obtained by extracting edges from an image.6RELATED WORKThere are numerous schemes for representing and simplifying tri-angulations in computer graphics.A common special case is that of subdivided2-manifolds(meshes).Garland and Heckbert[12] provide a recent survey of mesh simpliﬁcation techniques.Several methods simplify a given model through a sequence of edge col-lapse transformations[10,13,14,20].With the exception of[20], these methods constrain edge collapses to preserve the topological type of the model(e.g.disallow the collapse of a tetrahedron into a triangle).Our work is closely related to several schemes that generalize the notion of edge collapse to that of vertex uniﬁcation,whereby separate connected components of the model are allowed to merge and triangles may be collapsed into lower dimensional simplices. Rossignac and Borrel[21]overlay a uniform cubical lattice on the object,and merge together vertices that lie in the same cubes. Schauﬂer and St¨u rzlinger[22]develop a similar scheme in which vertices are merged using a hierarchical clustering algorithm.Lue-bke[18]introduces a scheme for locally adapting the complexity of a scene at runtime using a clustering octree.In these schemes, the approximating models correspond to simplicial complexes that would result from a set of vunify transformations(Section3.3).Our approach differs in that we order the vunify in a carefully optimized sequence.More importantly,we deﬁne not only a simpliﬁcation process,but also a new representation for the model using an en-coding of gvspl=vunify1transformations.Recent,independent work by Schmalstieg and Schauﬂer[23]de-velops a similar strategy of encoding a model using a sequence of vertex split transformations.Their scheme differs in that it tracks only triangles,and therefore requires regular,2-dimensional trian-gulations.Hence,it does not allow lower-dimensional simplices in the model approximations,and does not generalize to higher dimensions.Some simpliﬁcation schemes make use of an intermediate vol-umetric representation to allow topological changes to the model. He et al.[11]convert a mesh into a binary inside/outside function discretized on a three-dimensional grid,low-passﬁlter this function,。

词汇越少,中国人越有表现力英语作文

词汇越少,中国人越有表现力英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1The power of language lies not in the abundance of vocabulary, but in the ability to convey thoughts and emotions effectively. In China, there is a saying that "the fewer words, the more expressive", highlighting the importance of brevity and precision in communication. This concept resonates with the Chinese culture, where the use of minimal words is often seen as a sign of intelligence and sophistication.In a society where the art of calligraphy and poetry has been revered for centuries, the Chinese people have developed a deep appreciation for the beauty and power of language. This appreciation has influenced the way people communicate in daily life, with an emphasis on using simple and concise language to convey complex ideas.One example of this can be seen in the Chinese language itself, which is known for its use of characters that are packed with meaning and symbolism. Each character is like a piece of art, representing a concept or idea that can be interpreted inmultiple ways. This allows Chinese speakers to express themselves in a more nuanced and poetic manner, using fewer words to convey deeper meanings.In contrast, English is often considered to be a more verbose language, with a larger vocabulary and a tendency to use more words to express the same ideas. While this can be useful in some situations, it can also lead to communication that is overly complicated and lacking in clarity.The Chinese approach to language is not just about being concise, but also about being creative and resourceful in how ideas are expressed. This can be seen in various forms of traditional Chinese art, such as calligraphy, painting, and poetry, where the use of minimal words is combined with rich symbolism and imagery to create works that are both profound and elegant.Overall, the idea that "the fewer words, the more expressive" reflects the Chinese belief that true communication is not about the quantity of words used, but about the quality of the message conveyed. By focusing on clarity, precision, and creativity in language, the Chinese people are able to express themselves in a way that is both profound and impactful.In conclusion, while having a rich vocabulary can be helpful in certain contexts, the true essence of language lies in the abilityto convey thoughts and emotions effectively. The Chinese approach to communication, with its emphasis on brevity, precision, and creativity, serves as a reminder that sometimes less is more when it comes to expressing oneself.篇2The Power of Fewer Words: Chinese ExpressivenessWhen it comes to language and communication, Chinese people have a unique way of expressing themselves that may seem counterintuitive to the Western world. While English speakers often value verbosity and eloquence, the Chinese culture often places a higher value on brevity and simplicity. In fact, it is commonly believed that Chinese people can convey more meaning with fewer words, showcasing their mastery of language and communication.One of the most well-known examples of this phenomenon is the Chinese language itself. Unlike English, which relies heavily on grammar rules and complex sentence structures, Chinese is a highly concise and efficient language. With thousands of characters that can convey nuanced meanings and emotions, the Chinese language allows speakers to express complex ideas in just a few words. This linguistic flexibility gives Chinese people adistinct advantage in communication, allowing them to convey their thoughts and feelings with precision and depth.Another aspect of Chinese expressiveness is the use of symbolic language and cultural references. Chinese people often use idioms, proverbs, and literary allusions to convey meaning and communicate subtly. These symbols are deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and carry a rich history of meaning, allowing speakers to convey complex ideas in a concise and poetic way. By tapping into this cultural wealth of symbols and references, Chinese people can communicate with depth and nuance that may be lost in translation for non-native speakers.Furthermore, Chinese people place a high value on understatement and humility in their communication. Rather than using excessive praise or grandiose language, Chinese speakers often prefer to downplay their achievements and express modesty. This humble approach to communication allows Chinese people to build trust and rapport with others, as it shows respect and consideration for the feelings of the listener. By using fewer words and focusing on the essence of the message, Chinese people can communicate more effectively and connect on a deeper level with others.In contrast, English speakers may struggle with the concept of brevity and simplicity in communication. The English language tends to prioritize verbosity and elaborate expression, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations. While English may excel in its ability to articulate complex ideas and emotions, it can also be prone to ambiguity and confusion. By contrast, Chinese speakers are able to convey meaning with clarity and precision, thanks to their mastery of concise and efficient language.In conclusion, the Chinese people's ability to communicate effectively with fewer words is a testament to their linguistic skill and cultural heritage. By harnessing the power of simplicity, symbolism, and humility in their communication, Chinese speakers can convey meaning with depth and nuance that is unparalleled. In a world where communication is increasingly important, the Chinese approach to language and expression offers a valuable lesson in the art of effective communication.篇3The Chinese language is often praised for its complexity and richness, with thousands of characters and a myriad of tones that can change the meaning of a word entirely. However, some argue that having a large vocabulary does not necessarily equateto greater expressiveness. In fact, a case can be made that Chinese people can be more expressive with fewer words.One key reason for this is the use of context and implications in Chinese communication. Chinese speakers often rely on context and nonverbal cues to convey meaning, allowing them to express complex ideas and emotions with relatively few words. For example, a simple gesture or facial expression can communicate a wealth of information without the need for lengthy explanations.Additionally, the Chinese language is characterized by the use of idioms and proverbs, which are concise and often poetic expressions that encapsulate profound truths or sentiments. These linguistic devices allow Chinese speakers to convey deep emotions and complex ideas in a succinct and powerful manner.Furthermore, Chinese culture places a strong emphasis on subtlety and nuance in communication. This is reflected in the language itself, with many words and phrases carrying multiple layers of meaning depending on the context in which they are used. Chinese speakers are adept at navigating these nuances to convey their thoughts and feelings with precision and depth.In contrast, English, with its straightforward and direct communication style, may sometimes lack the subtlety andnuance of Chinese. While English speakers may have a larger vocabulary at their disposal, they may struggle to convey the same level of complexity and depth of emotion that Chinese speakers can achieve with fewer words.In conclusion, the idea that "the fewer words, the more expressive" holds true in the context of Chinese communication. Chinese people have developed a rich and sophisticated communication style that allows them to convey profound ideas and emotions with economy and precision. While having a large vocabulary can be beneficial in certain contexts, Chinese speakers demonstrate that true expressiveness can be achieved with skillful and strategic use of language.。

Geometric Modeling

Geometric ModelingGeometric modeling is an essential aspect of computer graphics and design, playing a crucial role in various industries such as architecture, engineering, animation, and manufacturing. It involves the creation and manipulation of digital representations of geometric shapes and objects, allowing for the visualizationand analysis of complex structures and designs. However, despite its widespreaduse and significance, geometric modeling presents several challenges andlimitations that need to be addressed to improve its effectiveness and efficiency. One of the primary problems in geometric modeling is the complexity ofrepresenting real-world objects and surfaces accurately. Real-world objects often have irregular shapes and intricate details that are challenging to capture and model with traditional geometric primitives such as points, lines, and polygons. This limitation can result in inaccuracies and distortions in the digital representation of physical objects, affecting the quality and realism of computer-generated images and designs. To overcome this challenge, researchers and practitioners in the field of geometric modeling are exploring advanced techniques such as non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS), subdivision surfaces, and point-based representations to achieve more realistic and detailed models. Another significant issue in geometric modeling is the computational cost and timerequired for creating and manipulating complex geometric shapes and structures. As the complexity and size of geometric models increase, the computational resources and processing power needed to perform operations such as rendering, simulation, and analysis also escalate. This can lead to performance bottlenecks and inefficiencies, particularly in applications that involve real-time interactionand visualization, such as virtual reality and video games. Addressing this challenge requires the development of efficient algorithms and data structures for geometric processing, as well as the utilization of parallel and distributed computing techniques to leverage the power of modern hardware architectures. Furthermore, geometric modeling faces the challenge of interoperability and compatibility between different software and hardware systems. In many cases, geometric models need to be exchanged and shared across different platforms and applications, requiring seamless data interoperability and conversion. However,the lack of standardized formats and protocols for representing and exchanging geometric data can hinder the smooth transfer and utilization of models between different software packages and environments. To tackle this issue, industry organizations and standardization bodies are working towards the development of open and vendor-neutral formats for geometric data exchange, such as the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Moreover, the representation and manipulation of geometric models often involve subjective and qualitative aspects that are challenging to formalize and quantify. For example, the aesthetic and ergonomic qualities of a design, which are crucial considerations in fields like industrial design and architecture, are difficult to express and manipulate using purely geometric parameters and operations. This limitation can restrict the creative freedom and expressiveness of designers and artists, leading to designs that may lack innovation and originality. To address this challenge, researchers are exploring the integration of qualitative and procedural modeling techniques into geometric modeling systems, enabling the incorporation of subjective criteria and design intent into the digital representation and manipulation of objects and spaces. In addition, the increasing demand for personalized and customized products and experiences poses a challenge for geometric modeling in terms of flexibility and adaptability. Traditional geometric modeling approaches often rely on predefined shapes and templates, which may not be suitable for addressing the diverse and unique requirements of individual users and customers. This limitation can restrict the ability to create personalized designs and products that cater to specific preferences and needs, particularly in the context of mass customization and consumer-driven markets. To overcome this challenge, researchers and practitioners are exploring parametric and generative design approaches within geometric modeling, enabling the automated generation and customization of designs based on user-defined parameters and constraints. In conclusion, geometric modeling is a critical and evolving field that plays a fundamental role in various domains of computer graphics and design. While it offers powerful tools and techniques for creating and manipulating digital representations of geometric shapes and objects, it also presents several challenges and limitations that need to be addressed toenhance its effectiveness and versatility. By addressing issues such as accuracy, computational efficiency, interoperability, qualitative aspects, and flexibility, the field of geometric modeling can continue to advance and contribute to the development of innovative and impactful solutions for diverse applications and industries.。

非谓语动词雅思作文

非谓语动词雅思作文Non-finite verbs, including infinitives, gerunds, and participles, play a crucial role in the English language. They are essential for constructing complex sentences, expressing nuances in meaning, and enhancing the overall fluency of communication. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of non-finite verbs and their impact on effective writing and speaking.Firstly, non-finite verbs allow for the creation of more complex sentence structures. Unlike finite verbs, which are limited by tense and subject agreement, non-finite verbs do not change form based on the subject or tense. This flexibility enables writers and speakers to combine ideas more effectively, leading to more sophisticated expressions. For example, instead of saying, "I want to go to the store," one could say, "Wanting to go to the store, I quickly grabbed my wallet." The use of the gerund "wanting" adds depth to the sentence, providing context and enhancing its overall meaning.Secondly, non-finite verbs help convey various meanings and nuances. Infinitives can express purpose or intention, such as in the sentence, "She studies hard to achieve her goals." Here, the infinitive "to achieve" clarifies the purpose of her studying. Additionally, gerunds can serve as subjects or objects in sentences, allowing for more dynamic and varied sentence construction. For instance, "Swimming is fun" uses a gerund as the subject, while "I enjoy swimming" uses it as an object. This versatility enriches language use, making communication more engaging and expressive.Moreover, the use of non-finite verbs can enhance fluency in both writing and speaking. When learners master non-finite verb forms, they can express themselves more smoothly and coherently, as these verbs often serve as connectors within sentences. For example, using participles can create participial phrases that add information succinctly, such as in "Excited by the news, she called her friends." This not only improves sentence flow but also allows for more information to be conveyed in fewer words.In conclusion, non-finite verbs are essential components of the English language that contribute significantly to the complexity, nuance, and fluency of communication. Their ability to create intricate sentence structures, convey varied meanings, and enhance overall expressiveness makes them invaluable for both written and spoken English. As such, mastering non-finite verbs is crucial for anyone looking to improve their language skills.中文翻译：非谓语动词，包括不定式、动名词和分词，在英语中扮演着至关重要的角色。

网络约会和现实约会的区别英语作文Title: Navigating the Dating World: The Contrast Between Online and Offline EncountersAs technology continues to redefine human interactions, the realm of dating has also evolved, offering two distinct avenues for pursuit of romantic connections: online dating and traditional, face-to-face dating. Each method carries its own set of intricacies, shaping the dynamics of how individuals connect, communicate, and develop relationships.Online dating provides a platform that transcends geographical boundaries, allowing individuals to connect with potential partners from different locales. This digital encounter removes initial barriers, offering anonymity and a sense of safety as individuals can choose to reveal only what they are comfortable sharing. However, this veil of anonymity may also cultivate an environment where authenticity is questioned, and deception can occur without immediate consequences.Communication in the online space often relies heavily on written text, which can lead to misinterpretations due to the absence of non-verbal cues such as tone of voice or body language. Emoticons and abbreviations become the tools toconvey emotion, yet they are limited substitutes for the genuine expressiveness of a face-to-face conversation.On the contrary, traditional dating immediately immerses participants in a world rich with sensory information. The nuances of facial expressions, the modulation of the voice, and the subtleties of body language all play integral roles in forming initial impressions and fostering deeper emotional connections. These organic interactions allow for a more comprehensive understanding of another's character and temperament.Nonetheless, while face-to-face dates may offer a more truthful portrayal of an individual, they also come with their own set of challenges. The pressure to make a favorable impression can be more palpable, and the fear of rejection more acute when confronted with a real person as opposed to their digital profile. Moreover, the limitations of location and the initial discomfort with strangers can constrain the opportunities for connecting with diverse prospects.In conclusion, both online and offline dating present unique landscapes for romance seekers. While online dating opens doors to a broader spectrum of possibilities and provides a shield of anonymity, it lacks the immediacy anddepth of personal interaction. In contrast, traditional dating embraces the complexity of human expression but comes with heightened vulnerability and limitations in scope. Both forms of dating are reflections of the diverse ways in which humans seek companionship, each with their advantages and pitfalls, leaving individuals to choose which path best suits their quest for love.。

写作文遇到不会的句式英语

IntroductionWriting an essay in English, particularly for non-native speakers or those still honing their language skills, can present a myriad of challenges. Among these, encountering unfamiliar sentence structures can be particularly daunting, impeding the flow of ideas and undermining the overall quality of the composition. This comprehensive analysis delves into the multifaceted nature of this issue, exploring its root causes, the impact it has on writing, strategies for addressing it, and the long-term benefits of mastering diverse sentence structures.I. The Root Causes of Encountering Unfamiliar Sentence StructuresA. Language Proficiency LevelThe level of English proficiency significantly influences the likelihood of encountering unfamiliar sentence structures. Beginners and intermediate learners may struggle with complex syntax due to limited exposure to various sentence patterns. They might find themselves more comfortable with simple subject-verb-object constructions and encounter difficulties when confronted with compound, complex, or compound-complex sentences.B. Lack of Exposure to Authentic TextsLimited exposure to authentic English texts –literature, academic articles, news reports, or even everyday conversations – can result in a dearth of familiarity with the rich diversity of sentence structures used in the language. Reading extensively helps learners internalize different sentence patterns, thereby enhancing their ability to recognize and reproduce them in their writing.C. Insufficient Grammar InstructionInadequate grammar instruction, whether in formal educational settings or self-study, can hinder the understanding and application of complex sentence structures. A solid grasp of grammatical concepts such as clauses, conjunctions, and subordination is crucial for constructing and deciphering intricate sentences.II. The Impact of Unfamiliar Sentence Structures on Essay WritingA. Hindered Expressiveness and ClarityInability to employ diverse sentence structures can lead to monotonous, repetitive writing that fails to convey ideas effectively. Complex sentences, when used appropriately, can express nuanced relationships between ideas, emphasize key points, and enhance the logical progression of arguments, thereby contributing to a clearer and more persuasive essay.B. Reduced Cohesion and CoherenceVariety in sentence structure plays a vital role in maintaining cohesion and coherence within a text. Without it, essays may appear disjointed, with ideas inadequately connected or difficult to follow. Familiarity with different sentence patterns enables writers to signal relationships between ideas (e.g., contrast, causality, conditionality), ensuring a seamless flow of information.C. Impaired Academic Style and ToneMany academic disciplines and genres have specific stylistic expectations, often involving the use of sophisticated sentence structures. Inability to meet these expectations can negatively impact the perceived credibility and professionalism of the writer. A well-structured essay demonstrates not only linguistic competence but also a deep understanding of the discourse conventions of the target discipline.III. Strategies for Addressing Unfamiliar Sentence StructuresA. Intensive Reading and AnnotationEngaging in extensive reading of diverse, high-quality English texts and actively annotating sentence structures can greatly enhance familiarity with them. By identifying and analyzing the constituent parts of complex sentences, learners can gradually internalize these patterns and apply them in their own writing.B. Targeted Grammar Study and PracticeFocusing on specific grammatical concepts related to sentence complexity – such as independent and dependent clauses, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions, and relative pronouns –can help learners build a robust grammatical foundation. Regular practice exercises, both in isolation and within the context of writing tasks, reinforce understanding and facilitate the transfer of knowledge to actual writing situations.C. Collaborative Learning and Peer FeedbackCollaborating with peers, tutors, or language partners can provide valuable opportunities for discussing and practicing complex sentence structures. Receiving feedback on one's use of sentence variety, as well as offering input to others, fosters deeper understanding and encourages risk-taking in applying new structures.D. Utilizing Online Resources and ToolsNumerous online resources, such as grammar guides, interactive exercises, and writing apps, offer targeted support for learning and practicing different sentence structures. These resources can be tailored to individual learning styles and needs, providing a flexible and accessible means of addressing unfamiliar sentence structures.IV. Long-Term Benefits of Mastering Diverse Sentence StructuresA. Enhanced Linguistic Competence and FlexibilityProficiency in employing a wide range of sentence structures reflects a deep understanding of English grammar and a heightened ability to express ideas precisely and creatively. This linguistic competence transcends essay writing, benefiting learners in various communicative contexts, including oral presentations, debates, and professional correspondence.B. Improved Academic PerformanceMastering diverse sentence structures equips students with the tools necessary to meet the rigorous demands of academic writing across disciplines. It enhances their ability to articulate complex ideas, construct compelling arguments, and adhere to disciplinary conventions, ultimately leading to bettergrades and a stronger academic profile.C. Increased Confidence and MotivationOvercoming the challenge of unfamiliar sentence structures can be a significant confidence booster for learners, validating their efforts and fueling their motivation to continue improving their language skills. This newfound confidence extends beyond writing, positively influencing their overall engagement with the English language and their willingness to communicate in diverse contexts.ConclusionEncountering unfamiliar sentence structures in English essay writing is a common challenge faced by learners at various proficiency levels. Its roots lie in factors such as limited language proficiency, lack of exposure to authentic texts, and insufficient grammar instruction. However, by adopting targeted strategies such as intensive reading, focused grammar study, collaborative learning, and leveraging online resources, learners can effectively address this issue. The long-term benefits of mastering diverse sentence structures extend far beyond improved essay writing, encompassing enhanced linguistic competence, academic performance, and personal confidence. Ultimately, embracing the richness and complexity of English sentence structures is a vital step towards achieving fluency and excellence in the language.。

三连动词在英语续写中的应用

三连动词在英语续写中的应用The English language is a rich and versatile means of communication, allowing speakers and writers to express a wide range of ideas, emotions, and experiences. One particular linguistic feature that has gained significant attention in recent years is the use of three-verb constructions, also known as "three-part verbs" or "phrasal-prepositional verbs." These constructions, which consist of a main verb followed by a particle and a preposition, offer writers a unique way to convey complex meanings and add depth to their writing.The application of three-verb constructions in English writing can be seen as a powerful tool for enhancing the expressiveness and nuance of the language. These constructions allow writers to go beyond the limitations of single-verb expressions, providing them with the ability to layer multiple actions, directions, or states of being into a single phrase. This can lead to more concise and impactful writing, as well as a more natural and conversational tone that resonates with readers.One of the primary benefits of using three-verb constructions inEnglish writing is the ability to convey complex ideas and relationships with greater precision. By combining a main verb with a particle and a preposition, writers can create a sense of directionality, movement, or change that would be difficult to express using a single verb. For example, the phrase "to look up to" conveys a sense of admiration and respect that would be challenging to capture with a single-verb expression such as "to admire."Moreover, three-verb constructions can also be used to create vivid and evocative imagery in writing. The combination of the main verb, particle, and preposition can paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind, allowing them to visualize the action or state being described. Consider the phrase "to break down into tears," which not only conveys the action of crying but also suggests a sense of emotional fragility and vulnerability.In addition to their expressive power, three-verb constructions can also contribute to the overall rhythm and flow of a piece of writing. The interplay between the main verb, particle, and preposition can create a sense of cadence and musicality that can enhance the reading experience. This can be particularly effective in creative writing, where the rhythmic and stylistic qualities of language play a crucial role in engaging the reader.Furthermore, the use of three-verb constructions in English writingcan also serve to enhance the clarity and precision of the language. By providing a more nuanced and specific way to convey an idea or action, these constructions can help writers avoid ambiguity and ensure that their message is conveyed effectively. This can be especially important in academic or professional writing, where the accurate and unambiguous communication of information is of paramount importance.However, it is important to note that the use of three-verb constructions in English writing is not without its challenges. These constructions can be complex and may require a certain level of linguistic sophistication on the part of the writer and the reader. Additionally, the specific meaning and usage of three-verb constructions can vary depending on the context and the individual words used, which can make them difficult to master for non-native speakers or those unfamiliar with the intricacies of the English language.Despite these challenges, the application of three-verb constructions in English writing remains a valuable and compelling tool for writers seeking to enhance the expressiveness and nuance of their work. By leveraging the power of these linguistic constructions, writers can create more vivid, evocative, and precise writing that captivates and engages their readers.In conclusion, the use of three-verb constructions in English writing is a testament to the richness and complexity of the language. These constructions offer writers a unique way to convey complex ideas, create vivid imagery, and enhance the overall rhythm and flow of their writing. As writers continue to explore and experiment with the possibilities of three-verb constructions, the English language will continue to evolve and expand, offering new and exciting avenues for creative expression and communication.。

引用修辞手法英语

引用修辞手法英语The use of rhetorical devices in English writing is a powerful way to enhance the expressiveness and impact ofone's message. Rhetorical devices can make language morevivid, persuasive, and memorable. Here are some common rhetorical devices and their applications in English writing:1. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. For example, "Time is a thief" suggests that time steals away our moments without us noticing.2. Simile: A simile makes a comparison between twodifferent things using the words 'like' or 'as'. For instance, "Her smile was as warm as the summer sun" draws a parallel between the warmth of a smile and the warmth of the sun.3. Personification: This device attributes human characteristics to non-human entities. For example, "The wind whispered through the trees" gives the wind a human-likequality of whispering.4. Hyperbole: A hyperbole is an exaggerated statementused to make a point. It's not meant to be taken literally.For example, "I've told you a million times" is a hyperbole used to express that something has been said many times.5. Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of closely connected words. It can make writing more rhythmic and memorable, as in "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."6. Assonance: Assonance occurs when two or more words in close proximity have the same vowel sound. For example, "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain" uses assonance with the 'ain' sound.7. Anaphora: Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses. It can create a strong sense of rhythm and emphasis, as in Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous line, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed."8. Antithesis: Antithesis is the juxtaposition of contrasting ideas within a parallel grammatical structure. It can be used to highlight the contrast between two concepts, as in "To be or not to be, that is the question."9. Paradox: A paradox is a statement that despite sounding reasonable leads to a conclusion that seems senselessly or logically unacceptable. For example, "The more I want to forget, the more I remember" is a paradox becauseit suggests that trying to forget something can actually make it more memorable.10. Oxymoron: An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two opposite elements to create an effect. Forexample, "deafening silence" or "bittersweet" are oxymorons that highlight the complexity of the situation.Using these rhetorical devices can elevate the quality of your writing, making it more engaging and persuasive. Whether you're crafting a persuasive essay, a creative story, or a heartfelt letter, the thoughtful application of these techniques can help you convey your message with greater depth and resonance.。

Expressiveness plexity in nonmonotonic knowledge bases:propositional caseRiccardo RosatiAbstract.We study the trade-off between the expressive abili-ties and the complexity of reasoning in propositional nonmonotonicknowledge bases.Weﬁrst analyze,in an expressive epistemic modalframework,the most popular forms of nonmonotonic mechanismsused in knowledge representation:in particular,we prove that epis-temic queries and epistemic integrity constraints are naturally ex-pressed through the notion of negation as failure.Based on the aboveanalysis,we then characterize the complexity of reasoning with dif-ferent subsets of such nonmonotonic constructs.This characteriza-tion induces a complexity based classiﬁcation of the various formsof nonmonotonic reasoning considered:in particular,we prove thatnegation as failure is computationally harder than epistemic disjunc-tion,which apparently contradicts previous complexity results ob-tained in the logic programming setting.1MOTIV ATIONResearch in nonmonotonic logics has extensively studied the prob-lem of establishing the complexity of various forms of common-sense reasoning(see e.g.[2,7]).In particular,the complexity of rea-soning in several propositional nonmonotonic formalisms has beenestablished.The results obtained show that the problem of reason-ing in propositional nonmonotonic logics lies typically at the secondlevel of the polynomial hierarchy(e.g.in default logic,autoepistemiclogic,propositional circumscription,disjunctive logic programming,McDermott and Doyle’s modal logics,and the modal logic of onlyknowing).Hence,it is harder(unless the polynomial hierarchy col-lapses)than reasoning in standard propositional logic.However,despite the amount of results obtained,a systematicstudy of the relationship between the expressive abilities of a non-monotonic formalism and the complexity of reasoning in the pres-ence of such abilities has not been fully analyzed,which has beenpartly due to the lack of a common formal framework in which thedifferent forms of nonmonotonic reasoning could be compared andstudied.In particular,a careful analysis of the most used nonmono-tonic mechanisms for representing commonsense knowledge,withthe aim of identifying the contribution of each single feature to thecomplexity of reasoning,has not been pursued so far.Such an analy-sis would allow for precisely identifying the complexity of reasoningwith a given set of nonmonotonic abilities,thus enabling for design-ing optimized inference methods for nonmonotonic knowledge rep-resentation systems.The present work is aﬁrst step towards a principled analysis of therelationship between the expressive abilities and the complexity oflogically implies a formula in MKNF.Theorem1Let be an MKNF knowledge base,and be an epis-temic query.Then,iff the theoryis unsatisﬁable in MKNF.The most important consequence of the above theorem is that epis-temic queries are a form of nonmonotonic reasoning which can be reconducted to the notion of negation as failure(since they can be ex-pressed by modal sentences using only the operator).This allows for a better classiﬁcation of nonmonotonic abilities,since all reason-ing tasks involving epistemic queries actually correspond to using the negation as failure ability.Another consequence of the above theo-rem is that in MKNF it is possible to reduce all the main reasoning problems to satisﬁability/unsatisﬁability.Moreover,we prove that integrity constraints,under the epistemic interpretation of[9],can actually be expressed as MKNF sentences inside the knowledge base.Roughly speaking,under this interpreta-tion,an integrity constraint is not analogous to a usual piece of information in the knowledge base,which causes inconsistency of iff contradicts other information in:it is a property which must hold in in order to preserve consistency of.Theorem2Any integrity constraint in MKNF is equivalent to a sub-jective-formula.2As in the case of epistemic queries,this result shows that integrity constraints are naturally expressed through the notion of negation as failure.3COMPLEXITY RESULTSThe results above presented,together with previous studies on the expressive abilities of MKNF,allow for expressing all the best known nonmonotonic mechanisms used in knowledge representa-tion(like rules,defaults,negation as failure(NAF),epistemic dis-junction(ED),epistemic queries(EQs),integrity constraints(ICs)) inside MKNF.We are now thus able to characterize the complexity of reasoning with different subsets of such nonmonotonic features. In particular,by exploiting previous results on the computational as-pects of MKNF[10],we establish the complexity of the unsatisﬁa-bility problem for MKNF knowledge bases under various syntactic restrictions,corresponding to allowing different kinds of nonmono-tonic features inside the knowledge base.LPfacts(objective knowledge)PcoNPfacts and NAF(ICs,EQs)Prules with ED coNPWe call subjective-formula a formula such that each non-modal sub-formula from lies within the scope of an operator.A summary of the complexity results obtained is reported in the second column of the displayed table,3which must be read as fol-lows:for each row of the table,the complexity of checking unsatis-ﬁability in MKNF under the syntactic restriction reported in theﬁrst column(i.e.,considering only formulas whose structure corresponds to the nonmonotonic mechanisms reported)is complete with respect to the complexity class appearing in the second column.The new complexity results appear in the third and theﬁfth row of the table, while the others were already known.However,the classiﬁcation of epistemic queries(and integrity constraints)as a form of negation as failure allows for a new reading of the computational properties of several nonmonotonic formalisms.As an example,it is worthwhile to compare the results obtained in MKNF with the results obtained in the case of propositional logic programs,which are reported in the third column of the displayed table.It is known that logic programs (interpreted under the stable model semantics)correspond to MKNF theories of a special form,in which:(i)only atoms(or literals)are allowed within the scope of modalities;(ii)nested occurrences of the modalities are not allowed.Interestingly,under our classiﬁcation (i.e.separating standard queries from epistemic queries,which are expressed in terms of negation as failure)it turns out that reasoning in logic programs with disjunction in the head of the clauses is eas-ier than reasoning in logic programs with negation as failure in the body of the clauses.This result only apparently contradicts previous complexity analyses of logic programming[3],which establish that reasoning with positive disjunctive logic programs lies at the second level of the polynomial hierarchy,since in such analyses the contri-bution of negation as failure given by queries was not considered.
