allometric growth pattern and body shape changes of the green terror (andinoacara rivulatus)(cichlidae) were studied using landmark-based geometric morphometric (gm) and traditional methods, from hatching up to 1266 hours post hatching (hph) under culture conditions. the left side of specimens were photographed using digital camera and morphometric characters, including total length, head lengt...

WARP is a novel member of the von Willebrand factor A domain superfamily of extracellular matrix proteins that is expressed by chondrocytes. WARP is restricted to the presumptive articular cartilage zone prior to joint cavitation and to the articular cartilage and fibrocartilaginous elements in the joint, spine, and sternum during mouse embryonic development. In mature articular cartilage, WARP...

Results of image stitching can be perceptually divided into single-perspective and multiple-perspective. Compared to the multiple-perspective result, the single-perspective result excels in perspective consistency but suffers from projective distortion. In this paper, we propose two single-perspective warps for natural image stitching. The first one is a parametric warp, which is a combination ...

In this paper, we present an experimental work using a MOCAP system and an iterative minimization technique to compute damping parameters and to measure their contribution for the simulation of cloth in free fall movement. Energy damping is an important phenomenon to consider for the 3D simulation of warp and weft materials, since it has a great influence on the animation realism. This phenomen...

The prototype Warp* machine at Carnegie Mellon is being used to develop new applications in magnetic resonance image processing, as a research tool in image texture analysis, and for scientific computing. In these areas, orders of magnitude speedup over conventional computers are being observed. These new applications build on our use of Warp for low level vision, which is the area for which th...

Watershed Regressions for Pesticides for multiple pesticides (WARP-MP) are statistical models developed to predict concentration statistics for a wide range of pesticides in unmonitored streams. The WARP-MP models use the national atrazine WARP models in conjunction with an adjustment factor for each additional pesticide. The WARP-MP models perform best for pesticides with application timing an...

The parallel vision algorithm design and implementation project was established to facilitate vision programming on parallel architectures, particularly low-level vision and robot vehicle control algorithms on the Camegie Mellon Warp machine. To this end, we have (1) demonstrated the use of the Warp machine in several different algorithms; (2) developed a specialized programming language, calle...

“Warp drive” spacetimes are useful as “gedanken-experiments” and as a theoretician’s probe of the foundations of general relativity. Applying linearized gravity to the weak-field warp drive, i.e., for non-relativistic warp-bubble velocities, we find that the occurrence of energy condition violations in this class of spacetimes is generic to the form of the geometry under consideration and is no...
