Virtual humans still lack naturalness in their nonverbal behaviour. We present a data-driven solution that moves towards a more natural synthesis of hand and arm gestures by recreating gestural behaviour in the style of a human performer. Our algorithm exploits the concept of gesture units to make the produced gestures a continuous flow of movement. We empirically validated the use of gesture u...

Early pipeline milking systems were commonly flooded during cleaning. Flood cleaning is practical for systems with small diameter milklines, short pipelines and few milking units. Flood cleaning becomes impractical as milkline diameter and length and the number of milking units is increased. Excessive water volume is required and the flow velocities and corresponding mechanical cleaning action ...

Synchronization is the process of achieving identical dynamics among coupled identical units. If the units are different from each other, their dynamics cannot become identical; yet, after transients, there may emerge a functional relationship between them-a phenomenon termed "generalized synchronization." Here, we show that the concept of transient uncoupling, recently introduced for synchroni...

A mechanism of memories, especially biological memories, is studied in terms of quantum fluids. Two-dimensional flows in central potentials Va(ρ) = −a gaρ 2(a−1) (a 6= 0 and ρ = √ x2 + y2) have zero-energy eigenstates that degenerate infinitely for all a. It is shown that stable standing waves constructed from the zero-energy flows are confined in various types of polygons which can be the mini...

We describe a mechanism, which links the long-range potential fluctuations induced by charged defects to the low frequency resistance noise widely known as 1/f noise. This mechanism is amenable to the first principles microscopic calculation of the noise spectrum, which includes the absolute noise intensity. We have performed such a calculation for the thin films of hydrogenated amorphous silic...

We give an extensive treatment of the Constant Mean Curvature (CMC) Einstein flow from the point of view of the Bel-Robinson energies. The article, in particular, stresses on estimates showing how the Bel-Robinson energies and the volume of the evolving states control intrinsically the flow along evolution. The treatment is for flows over compact three-manifolds of arbitrary topological type, a...

We experimentally investigate the role of sample size on the viscosity of a bulk metallic glass by examining pressure driven flows in nm-scale confinement. A Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5 metallic glass in the super-cooled liquid state is extruded into isolated cylindrical pores of varying nano-scale dimensions, down to 40 nm. The apparent viscosity of the liquid as a function of sample size is determ...

Manually preparing the data for analysis of calculation a pipe network air-cooled turbine blades is inefficient. In this paper, method to adaptively divide blade model and extract flow units proposed. method, topological lines channels calculations were extracted based on simulatedfluid flow. The abstracted fluid area used replace manual interpretation expertsto realize adaptive division unders...

In [1], Gupta and Kumar determined the capacity of wireless networks under certain assumptions, among them point-to-point coding, which excludes for example multi-access and broadcast codes. In this paper, we consider essentially the same physical model of a wireless network under a different traffic pattern, namely the relay traffic pattern, but we allow for arbitrarily complex network coding....

Abstract: Emergence of process-intensive and bandwidth-hungry e-Science contexts ranging from materials simulation to physics measurements is expected to result application which need to use several multi-Giga bits per second flows and increasingly higher data rates. This paper covers the challenges in measurement and analysis systems for such networks and describes the architecture of a simula...
