Buried pipeline systems are commonly used to transport water, sewage, oil, natural gas and other materials. In the conterminous United States, there are about 77,109 km (47,924 miles) of crude oil pipelines, 85,461 km (53,114 miles) of refined oil pipelines and 67,898 km (42,199 miles) of natural gas pipelines (FEMA, 1991). The total length of water and sewage pipelines is not readily available...

Research Proposal : Michael O ’ Boyle

This project aims to develop a new framework which enables compilers to adapt with and exploit the exponential growth in hardware performance. This is achieved by systematically describing the program optimisation space and by developing new approaches to explore this space in a manner independent of application or underlying architecture. Furthermore, by transcending the distinction between co...

Comment on Michael Woodford , “ Inflation Targeting and Financial Stability ”

Michael Woodford’s paper “Inflation Targeting and Financial Stability” presents a case for tighter monetary policy, “leaning against the wind,” in order to reduce the probability of a financial crisis. However, the introduction of financial-stability instruments (macroprudential instruments) that have a more direct effect on leverage than the policy rate allows monetary-policy and financial-sta...

Over the past 10 years as a researcher, I examined non-photorealistic rendering [4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 15], as well as human perception in immersive environments [1, 2, 5, 12, 16, 17] and computer-generated and modified imagery [3, 6, 8, 14]. My research involves the interdisciplinary synthesis of computer graphics, perceptual psychology, art theory, and computational vision. My primary research goal...
