    Nat Comput (2011) 10:103–117 DOI 10.1007/s11047-010-9193-1 Towards a neighborhood simplification of tile systems: From Moore to quasi-linear dependencies Eugen Czeizler • Lila Kari Published online: 28 April 2010 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract Self-assembly is the process by which objects aggregate independently and form complex structures. One of the theoretical frameworks in which the process of self- assembly can be embedded and formally studied is that of tile systems. A Wang tile is a square unit, with glues on its edges, attaching to other tiles which have matching glues, and forming larger and larger structures. In this paper we concentrate over two basic, but essential, self-assembling structures done by Wang tiles. The first one, called ribbon, is a non-self-crossing wire-like structure, in which successive tiles are adjacent along an edge, and where tiles are glued to their predecessor and successor by use of matching glues. The second one, called zipper, is a similar contiguous structure, only that here, all touching tiles must have matching glues on their abutting edges, independently of their position in the structure. In case of Wang tiles, it has been shown that these two structures are equivalent. Here we generalize this result for the case when the tiles have eight glues, four on their edges and four on their corners. Thus we show that an eight neighborhood dependency, namely the Moore neighborhood, can be simulated by a quasi-linear dependency. Keywords Wang tiles Á Self-assembly Á Neighborhoods 1 Introduction Nano-technology is a new emergent field of research and development of the last couple of decades.

  • Dance Imagery in South Indian Temples : Study of the 108-Karana Sculptures
    DANCE IMAGERY IN SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLES : STUDY OF THE 108-KARANA SCULPTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bindu S. Shankar, M.A., M. Phil. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan L. Huntington, Adviser Professor John C. Huntington Professor Howard Crane ----------------------------------------- Adviser History of Art Graduate Program Copyright by Bindu S. Shankar 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the theme of dance imagery in south Indian temples by focusing on one aspect of dance expression, namely, the 108-karana sculptures. The immense popularity of dance to the south Indian temple is attested by the profusion of dance sculptures, erection of dance pavilions (nrtta mandapas), and employment of dancers (devaradiyar). However, dance sculptures are considered merely decorative addtitions to a temple. This work investigates and interprets the function and meaning of dance imagery to the Tamil temple. Five temples display prominently the collective 108-karana program from the eleventh to around the 17th century. The Rajaraja Temple at Thanjavur (985- 1015 C.E.) displays the 108-karana reliefs in the central shrine. From their central location in the Rajaraja Temple, the 108 karana move to the external precincts, namely the outermost gopura. In the Sarangapani Temple (12-13th century) at Kumbakonam, the 108 karana are located in the external façade of the outer east gopura. The subsequent instances of the 108 karana, the Nataraja Temple at Cidambaram (12th-16th C.E.), the Arunachalesvara Temple at Tiruvannamalai (16th C.E.), and the Vriddhagirisvara Temple at Vriddhachalam (16th-17th C.E.), ii also use this relocation.

  • The Goddess Durga in the East-Javanese Period
    H a r ia n i Sa n t i k o Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta The Goddess Durga in the East-Javanese Period Abstract This article assesses the changing perceptions of the goddess Durga in Java in the tenth to the fifteenth centuries C.E. From an early perception of her as a beneficent goddess, slayer of the demon Mahisa and protector of welfare and fertility, we see later portrayals of her with a frightful countenance and a predilection for graveyards. This change is traced through the mythology to poorly understood Tantric practices that deteriorated into black magic and the coercion of the goddess’s power for evil purposes, causing her image in Java to become tarnished and turning her into an evil demon. Keywords: Durga— Mahisas"ura— Tantrism— Javanese mythology— antiquities Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 56，1997: 209—226 RCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS in the form of statues of the goddess {bhatarl) Durga, Durga the destroyer of Mahisas'ura, are quite numer­ ous in Java. The oldest of these statues is estimated to date from around the eighth century C.E.，while the most recent is from about the fifteenth century. On the basis of their characteristics and of the area where they were found, these Durga MahisasuramardinI statues can be divided into two large groups: those from the Central Javanese era, dating to between the eighth century and the beginning of the tenth century, and those of the East Javanese period, which date between the middle of the tenth century and the fifteenth century C.E. The Central Javanese period is very rich in archaeological remains (especially from early Hindu-Buddhist times), though relatively lacking in written data.
