Dumping drilling mud from offshore drilling rigs into the
ocean could have a negative impact on the marine environment. Due
to this possible impact, the Offshore Operators Committee (OOC) has
deemed it necessary to predict the fate of drilling mud discharged
into the ocean. Through the funding of OOC and...
This thesis presents a method for determining the
kinematic geometry of arthropod legs. A kinematic
description makes possible the analysis of arthropod leg
motion, as a prelude to investigating how various arthropod
species are able to negotiate diverse terrains. Such
knowledge will aid in design of legged vehicles.
The focus...
