Defining Patterns and Behaviours of Forward Spatter Gunshot Misting

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...

Defining Integrated Knowledge Translation and Moving Forward: A Response to Recent Commentaries

Quantitative bloodstain analysis: differentiation of contact transfer patterns versus spatter patterns on fabric via microscopic inspection.

In crime scene reconstruction, it is often necessary to differentiate "contact transfer" and "spatter" bloodstain patterns found on clothing. Current methodologies, however, are qualitative and prone to context bias. In this work, we demonstrate that microscopic inspection of the stain orientations provides a quantitative differentiation of bloodstains resulting from spatter versus contact tran...

Spatter Tracking in Laser Machining

In laser drilling, an assist gas is often used to remove material from the drilling point. In order to design assist gas nozzles to minimize spatter formation, measurements of spatter trajectories are required. We apply computer vision methods to measure the 3D trajectories of spatter particles in a laser cutting event using a stereo camera configuration. We also propose a novel method for cali...

Defining Behaviours for Solids in a Visual Design Environment

The design of structured objects is frequently accomplished with the use of Computer-Aided Design ( CAD ) systems, some of which allow for parametrised designs, which represent families of objects. Some existing CAD systems permit parametrisation by providing interfaces to programming languages, leading to a sharp division between the visual and programming aspects of building complex designs. ...
