Abstract

Introduced 160 years ago as an attempt to generalize complex numbers to higher dimensions, quaternions are now recognized as one of the most important concepts in modern computer graphics. They offer a powerful way to represent rotations and compared to rotation matrices they use less memory, compose faster, and are naturally suited for efficient interpolation of rotations. Despite this, many practitioners have avoided quaternions because of the mathematics used to understand them, hoping that some day a more intuitive description will be available.The wait is over. Andrew Hanson's new boo

Abstract

Visualizing More Quaternions, Volume Two updates on proteomics-related material that will be useful for biochemists and biophysicists, including material related to electron microscopy (and specifically cryo-EVisualizing. Dr. Andrew J. Hanson’s groundbreaking book updates and extends concepts that have evolved since the first book published in 2005, adding entirely new insights that Dr. Hanson’s research has recently developed. This includes the applications of quaternion methods to proteomics and molecular crystallography problems, which are domains with significant current research and application activity. In addition to readers interested in quaternions for their own sake, scientists involved in computer graphics, animation, shape modeling, and scientific visualization, and readers from several other disciplines will benefit from this new volume. Foremost among these, and the target of the first several chapters, are scientists involved in molecular chemistry where techniques based on quaternion eigensystems have become a standard tool for evaluating the quality of shape matching.

Abstract

Tax benefits to owner-occupied housing provide incentives for housing consumption, offsetting weaker disincentives of the property tax. These benefits also help counter the penalty federal taxes impose on households who work in productive high-wage areas, but reinforce incentives to consume local amenities. We simulate the effects of these benefits in a parameterized model, and determine the consequences of various tax reforms. Reductions in housing tax benefits generally reduce inefficiency in consumption, but increase inefficiency in location decisions, unless they are accompanied by tax-rate reductions. The most efficient policy would eliminate most tax benefits to housing and index taxes to local wage levels.
