Sommario/riassunto

From Dialect to Standard: English in England 1154-1776 is the second volume of a set of three offering a comprehensive survey of what by the author is seen as the most interesting aspects of the long history of English from its embryonic stages to the language spoken today in England and America.The present book spans the period up to 1776, the year of the American Declaration of Independence and the year in which Adam Smith published his Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. The title of the first volume from 1998 was The Continental Backgrounds of Engl

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Digital Geometry for Computer Imagery, DGCI 2002, held in Bordeaux, France, in April 2002.The 22 revised full papers and 13 posters presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on topology, combinatorial image analysis, morphological analysis, shape representation, models for discrete geometry, segmentation and shape recognition, and applications.
