Over the past five years the GPS Laboratory at Stanford University has developed a 3-D “Out the Window” Tunnel-in-the-Sky Display. This display intuitively and accurately renders the attitude and location of the aircraft relative to the local terrain. This paper summarizes the design, development, and implementation of the Stanford Tunnel-in-the-Sky Display from 1995 through Spring 2000. In par...

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm that provides bounded approximate solutions for decentralised coordination problems. Our approach removes cycles in any general constraint network by eliminating dependencies between functions and variables which have the least impact on the solution quality. It uses the max-sum algorithm to optimally solve the resulting tree structured constraint netw...

An analytical discrete-ordinates method is used to solve the temperature-jump problem as defined by a synthetic-kernel model of the linearized Boltzmann equation. In particular, the temperature and density perturbations and the temperature-jump coefficient defined by the CES model equation are obtained (essentially) analytically in terms of a modern version of the discrete-ordinates method. The...

This article introduces a mathematical approach to extracting some statistical parameters from noise-like sounds. This approach could define a new spectral model or extend existing ones to analyze and synthesize such complex sounds. In the future, this method could also permit electro-acoustic composers to make musical transformations. We have performed several synthesis tests with synthetic an...

In this paper we describe the factorization method with linear motions. We design an uni ed representation of scene structure and moving objects by assuming that the objects are moving linearly and with constant speeds. The representation enables the subspace constraints be used to the measurement matrix so that the scene structure, moving trajectories and camera motion are reconstructed simult...

Inverse models are developed that use data and dynamics to estimate optimally the breaking-wave-driven setup and alongshore current, as well as the cross-shore forcing, alongshore forcing, and drag coefficient. The inverse models accurately reproduce these quantities in a synthetic barred-beach example. The method is applied to one case example each from the Duck94 and SandyDuck field experimen...

This review presents one dimensional (1D) TiO2 nanostructured photoanodes for next generation solar cells such as dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Due to the unique morphological properties, 1D TiO2 nanostructures can act as express electron channels as well as light scattering layer, leading to improved charge transport properties, such as charge separation,...

Synthetic biology promises to create high-impact solutions to challenges in the areas of biotechnology, human/animal health, the environment, energy, materials and food security. Equally, synthetic biologists create tools and strategies that have the potential to help us answer important fundamental questions in biology. Warwick Integrative Synthetic Biology (WISB) pursues both of these mutuall...

The structure of margarosanite is probably very similar to that of synthetic CazBaSisOg. This in turn is closely related to other substances containing X3Oe rings: compare the cell dimensions given. These data show the existence of a series of metasilicates of large divalent cations containing X3Oe rings. These structures can also exhibit cation ordering; thus the Ca/Ba ratio is known to be fix...

The crystallochemical characterization of magnetic spinels prepared from aqueous solution has been studied primarily by electron microscopy and 5 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy. . Two synthetic routes investigated : 7Fe have been t : method 1; partial oxidation of Fell solutions " in the presence of NO;; at 100°C, O C , and method 2; reaction of hydrated Fe oxide (ferrihydrite) with Fell ions at roo...
