The designing of electrical machinery is fully
as essential to the thorough understanding of power
equipment and apparatus, as is the taking of a laboratory
testing course. One learns the relationship
of the different parts, the methods of computing
their dimensions, and the predetermination of outputs,
efficiencies, etc. and thus...
The purpose of the study was to compare the visual-motor performance
of college students who reported ingestion of certain drugs with
those college students who reported no drug ingestion. The study
drugs included the following drugs or groups of drugs: tobacco,
alcohol, marijuana, LSD, mescaline, barbiturates, and amphetamines.
A total...
Tensor field topology is of importance to research areas of medicine, science, and engineering. Degenerate curves are one of the crucial topological features that provide valuable insights for tensor field visualization. In this thesis, we study the atomic bifurcations of degenerate curves in 3D linear second-order symmetric tensor fields, and...
The asymptotic convergence acceleration method used in steady
state process simulation is examined in detail, and a criterion is
developed to decide when it should be applied. The criterion is related
to the rate of convergence of each variable and does not require any
prejudgment of its tolerance level by...
3D symmetric tensor fields have a wide range of applications, such as in solid and fluid mechanics, medical imaging, meteorology, molecular dynamics, geophysics and computer graphics. There has been much research carried out in this field, yet our knowledge of the tensor field is still at its initial stage to...
N-ary relationships, which relate N entities where N is not necessarily two, are omnipresent in real life. In this thesis, we develop a visualization technique for N-ary relationships.
First, we propose a visual metaphor that utilizes vertices and polygons to represent entities and N-ary relationships. Based on this visual metaphor,...
