نویسنده
چکیده
Powerful motions deep inside the planet do not merely shove fragments of the rocky shell horizontally around the globe—they also lift and lower entire continents

شبیه‌سازی برهم‌کنش لیزر با بافت چربی با استفاده از روش مونت‌کارلو
Background and Aim: Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures for removing unwanted body fat deposits now. The conventional methods for liposuction however have many drawbacks among them is long recovery time, scars, bruising, skin flaccidity and excessive blood loss. Considering the increasing demand for body sculpting, the need to improve these techniques is of vital importance. ...
متن کاملSculpting: An Improved Inside-Out Scheme for All-Hexahedral Meshing
Inside-out algorithms provide the ability to generate all hexahedral meshes by first introducing a structured mesh that bounds the complete body modeled, then secondly by manipulating the exterior of this structured mesh to fit the specific boundary of the body. Such algorithms generally provide high quality meshes on the interior of the body but suffer with lower quality elements on the bounda...
متن کاملManipulation of Volumetric Solids with Applications to Sculpting
The topic of this thesis is volume graphics, and in particular techniques which are applicable to volume sculpting. A volume sculpting system is an interactive computer program for shape modelling where the shape is represented volumetrically in a 3D lattice of so–called voxels. It is argued that it is reasonable to classify the tools in a sculpting system according to whether the tools tend to...
متن کاملInnovative analysis and use of high-resolution DTMs for quantitative interrogation of Earth-surface processes
This is the era of digital landscapes; the widespread availability of powerful sensing technologies has revolutionized the way it is possible to interrogate landscapes in order to understand the processes sculpting them. Vastly greater areas have now been acquired at ‘high resolution’: currently 10s of m globally to millimetric precision and accuracy locally. This permits geomorphic features to...
متن کاملClassification of Scouring Form of Homogeneous and Sticky Earth Dams in Overtopping
The objective of this study was to investigate how the earth dam is destroyed due to the effect of upstream and downstream slope of the body in overflow conditions. Therefore, eight models were provided that each model is constructed from the embankment dam with different upstream and downstream slopes (1:1, 2:1) and the soil properties (Sc) on breach formation. The time and method of dam break...
