In this work, a tracer study on pore initiation in anodic alumina in oxalic acid was performed. Effects of some experimental parameters such as applied electrical potential, electrolyte composition and heat pretreatment were evaluated. Electrochemical and morphological experiments were performed using potentiostatic anodizing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, respectively. Effe...

A novel approach to drag-and-drop composition of point-sampled surfaces is described which allows a complex surface feature to be interactively selected and dragged to a new target region. We automatically fill the hole left behind and deform the feature such that it conforms to the target surface. Both of these operations are implemented using a new geometric deformation technique which preser...

This is a review of thermal imaging methods used for the measurement of body surface temperatures, including the most important medical applications, papers on thermal maps of people with various body compositions, and the applicability of thermal imaging in sport training.

Functional composition can be computed efficiently, robustly, and precisely over polynomials and piecewise polynomials represented in the Bézier and B-spline forms [6, 8, 20]. Nevertheless, the applications of functional composition in geometric modeling have been quite limited. In this work, as a testimony to the value of functional composition, we first recall simple applications to curve-cur...
