Skeletal animation is commonly used for real-time animation of humans, animals, etc. There are several methods available for propagating a skeleton pose to a skin mesh, but unfortunately, one of the most commonly used methods, linear blend skinning, has inconvenient artifacts. It is, however, a simple and very fast method, and it can easily be implemented on a GPU. An improved skinning method, ...

Silk sericin (SS)/silk fibroin (SF) blend nanofibers have been produced by electrospinning in a binary SS/SF trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) solution system, which was prepared by mixing 20 wt.% SS TFA solution and 10 wt.% SF TFA solution to give different compositions. The diameters of the SS/SF nanofibers ranged from 33 to 837 nm, and they showed a round cross section. The surface of the SS/SF nan...

This paper reports an algorithm for deletion of blends (or fillets) from Boundary Representation (B-rep) solid models. Blend deletion is usually performed as the first step in feature recognition since it simplifies the model for recognition of volumetric features. The algorithm handles several blend types that include face-face, face-edge and vertex blends. It also handles interactions of blen...

The ethanol blend wall and high RIN prices has become a controversial policy issue. We develop a model showing how RIN prices reflect the costs of overcoming the blend wall, namely biodiesel consumed in excess of its mandate and expansion of E85 sales. These costs are very high and are shown to be borne by producers and consumers of ethanol and gasoline. Although RIN prices reduce consumer pric...

Polypropylene fumarate/phloroglucinol triglycidyl methacrylate oligomeric blend-based bone cement was studied. Higher the percentage of phloroglucinol triglycidyl methacrylate, lesser the setting time. An optimum setting time could be arrived with 50:50 blend composition of the two oligomers. Composite cement of 50:50 blend prepared with hydroxyapatite granules of particle size 125 microm binds...

A blend is typically conceived as a systematic integration of conceptual spaces by a single cognitive agent for a particular pragmatic purpose. We consider here an interesting class of ‘macro’ blends that involve multiple cognitive agents, each of which contribute different spaces to the integration. Mythology is one such ‘macro’ type of blend, since rich mythic pantheons such as that of Hellen...

A blend of volatiles derived from the emissions of almonds at hull split and mechanically damaged almonds was compared to almond meal, the current monitoring standard for the insect pest navel orangeworm (NOW). Field trapping studies were performed to determine the blend's ability to attract adult NOW. The blend comprised racemic 1-octen-3-ol, ethyl benzoate, methyl salicylate, acetophenone, an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early hematoma growth is not uncommon in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and is an independent predictor of poor functional outcome. The purpose of our study was to report and validate the use of our newly identified computed tomographic (CT) blend sign in predicting early hematoma growth. METHODS Patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent baseline CT s...
