Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

Creator:: Rose, Robert W.
Abstract:: Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...

Morality and materialism : American conservatives and science, 1945-1964

Creator:: Schefke, Brian R.
Abstract:: Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D....

Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

Creator:: Harper, Kristine C.
Abstract:: American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

Classification of motion capture sequences

Creator:: Maniar, Dharin Haresh
Abstract:: Motion capture data is a digital representation of the complex temporal structure of human motion. Motion capture is widely used for data-driven animation in sports,medicine and entertainment, because of its ability to capture complex and realistic motions. Due to its efficiency and cost, methods for reusing collections of motion capture...

Influence of cultivar and maturity on blackberry polyphenolics and investigation of sediment formation in blackberry juice

Creator:: Siriwoharn, Thanyaporn
Abstract:: The influence of cultivar and maturity on polyphenolic composition and antioxidant activity was investigated by UV-Visible spectrophotometry and analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in commercially important blackberry cultivars and selections. The anthocyanin pigments changed tremendously with ripening. Total anthocyanins increased from 74.7-317 mg/100g fw from underripe to over ripe...

Boring to the Core: The Archaeology, History, and Dendrochronology of a Railroad Logging Camp, Ladee Flat, Clackamas County, Oregon

Creator:: Paullin, Pamela K.
Abstract:: Although the timber industry was the major economic force in the lives of several generations of Oregon families, very little archaeological investigation has been done on the dozens of abandoned logging camps that are scattered throughout the forests of the Pacific Northwest. This project focuses on Camp 1, a 1920s...

National states and international science; A comparative history of international science congresses in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia, and Cold War United States

Creator:: Doel, Ronald E.
Abstract:: Prior studies of modem scientific internationalism have been written primarily from the point of view of scientists, with little regard to the influence of the state. This study examines the state's role in international scientific relations. States sometimes encouraged scientific internationalism; in the mid-twentieth century,t hey often sought to restrict...

Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

Creator:: Jolly, J. Christopher
Abstract:: The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...

Information foraging in debugging

Creator:: Lawrance, Joseph A.
Abstract:: Programmers spend a substantial fraction of their debugging time by navigating through source code, yet little is known about how programmers navigate. With the continuing growth in size and complexity of software, this fraction of time is likely to increase, which presents challenges to those seeking both to understand and...
