Traffic simulation heavily relies on lane model. This paper presents a novel method to model lanes based on the road axis under the Frenet frame. The road axis is generated from the geographic information system data after curve approximation, discretization, and compression. This lane model couples mileage information with three-dimensional geometric information, so it offers an easy and fast ...

Many recently developed information visualization techniques are radial variants of originally Cartesian visualizations. Almost none of these radial variants have been evaluated with respect to their benefits over their original visualizations. In this work we compare a radial and a Cartesian variant of a visualization tool for sequences of transactions in information hierarchies. The Timeline ...

We first draw a Cartesian coordinate mesh on the two dimensional Euclidean plane so that each intersection point has integer coordinates. We call these intersection points lattice points. We want to label lattice points in an orderly fashion so that each label is determined by two of its neighboring labels. We proceed with the following rule. If the label given to a lattice point with coordinat...

The two-basis method to solve the HFB for deformed nuclei in coordinate space is examined concerning the precision of the density tail. Small cutoff energies are shown to give rise to ripples in the tail, whose wave length corresponds to the cutoff momentum. More precise solutions require higher cutoff energies, which result in HFB matrices of larger dimensions. To circumvent the difficulty of ...

color halftoning, dithering, barycentric coordinates. Monochrome dither halftoning is a gray-scale image rendering procedure where gray-levels in an image are compared against a periodic threshold array, placing a Black dot in every location whose gray-level is smaller than the corresponding threshold value. Current generalizations to color printing result in Cartesian thresholding procedures, ...

Diffusion mechanism models the movement of many individuals in an environment or media. The individuals can be very small such as basic particles in physics, bacteria, molecules, or cells, or very large objects such as animals, plants, or certain kind of events like epidemics, or rumors. The particles reside in a region, which we call Ω, and we assume that Ω is open subset of Rn (the n-th dimen...

A visualization of three-dimensional incompressible flows by divergence-free quasi-twodimensional projections of the velocity field onto three coordinate planes is revisited. An alternative and more general way to compute the projections is proposed. The approach is based on the Chorin projection combined with a SIMPLE-like iteration. Compared to the previous methodology based on divergence-fre...

Selection of feasible cutting patterns in order to minimize the raw material wastage which is known as cutting stock problem has become a key factor of the success in today’s competitive manufacturing industries. In this paper, solving a rectangular shape medium size two-dimensional cutting stock problem is discussed. Our study is restricted to raw materials (main sheets) in a rectangular shape...

A recently derived axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model is evaluated numerically. The model incorporates a spatially and temporally varying source term into the evolution equation for the momentum distribution function on a two-dimensional Cartesian lattice. The precise form of the source term is derived through a Chapman-Enskog analysis so that the additional axisymmetric contributions in the ...

This work presents a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in house model to simulate the dispersion of organic substances along a river. The finite volume method is used to aproximate the conservation of momentum and mass equations. A Cartesian coordinate system has been chosen to represent the river. Turbulence is taken into account by a zero-order equation model. The Streeter-...
