The development of a spatiotemporal access method suitable for objects moving on fixed networks is a very attractive challenge due to the great number of real-world spatiotemporal database applications and fleet management systems dealing with this type of objects. In this work, a new indexing technique, named Fixed Network R-Tree (FNR-Tree), is proposed for objects constrained to move on fixed...

In this paper we present TraceMove, a system to help novice animators create 2D, hand-drawn, character animation. The system and interface assists not only in sketching the character properly but also in animating it. A database of image frames from recorded videos of humans performing various motions, is used to provide pose silhouette suggestions as a static pose hint to the users as they dra...

In 1993 the FAA wiI1 begin depIoying the TerminaI Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) at selected airports in the United States. Forty-five TDWR’s will be collocated with LLWAS 3 systems, and the FAA has decided that all TDWR’s collocated with LLWAS 3 systems must be integrated with LLWAS 3 prior to commissioning. The algorithm chosen to perform this integration must be supplied with a set of site-spe...

This paper develops an algorithm that identifies and decomposes a median graph of a triangulation of a 2-dimensional (2D) oriented bordered surface and in addition restores all corresponding triangulation whenever they exist. The algorithm is based on the consecutive simplification of the given graph by reducing degrees of its nodes. From the paper \cite{FST1}, it is known that such graphs can ...

We present a system that visualizes displacement, acceleration, and strain that were measured during an earthquake simulation experiment in a geotechnical centrifuge. Our visualization tool starts by reading the data describing experiment set-up and displaying this data along with icons for the sensors used during data acquisition. Different sensor types (measuring acceleration, displacement an...

We introduce quaternionic Gabor filters for the classification of local image structure. These filters are constructed as windowed basis functions of the quaternionic Fourier transform. We show that – in contrast to the 2D complex Gabor filters – the quaternionic Gabor filters are intrinsically 2D filters. A generalized phase concept is introduced and compared to the classical one. It is shown ...

In this note we develop tools and techniques for the treatment of anisotropic thermo-elasticity in two space dimensions. We use a diagonalisation technique to obtain properties of the characteristic roots of the full symbol of the system in order to prove L–L decay rates for its solutions.

numerical investigation of 3d electrokinetic mixing through micromixer has performed both qualitatively and quantitatively. in order to reduce numerical expenses of 3d flows, we implement the helmholtz-smoluchowski method for the numerical modeling of electroosmotic flows. according to the previous study of electrokinetic mixing inside the heterogeneous microchannels, existence of the vortexes ...

a numerical study of 3d electrokinetic flows through micromixers was performed. the micromixers considered here consisted of heterogeneous rectangular microchannels with prescribed patterns of zeta-potential at their walls. numerical simulation of electroosmotic flows within heterogeneous channels requires solution of the navier-stokes, ernest-plank and species concentration equations. it is kn...
