As part of the final project for this course, I used CRAIVE (Collaborative-Research Augmented Immersive Virtual Environment Laboratory) space to create an interactive immersive visualizations based on human motion inside the space. As shown in Figure 1, CRAIVE lab has a 360 degree screen equipped with 8 projectors along with 6 overhead cameras used for tracking. The floor space enclosed within ...

Landscapes have been shown to exhibit numerous scaling laws from Horton's laws to more sophisticated scaling in topography heights, river network topology and power laws in several geomorphic attributes. In this paper, we propose a different way of examining landscape organization by introducing the “river corridor width” (lateral distance from the centerline of the river to the left and right ...

Valley splitting in finite barrier quantum wells" (2008). Birck and NCN Publications. Paper 148. The valley splitting ͑VS͒ in a silicon quantum well is calculated as a function of barrier height with both the multiband sp 3 d 5 s ‫ء‬ model and a simple two-band model. Both models show a strong dependence of the VS on barrier height. For example, in both models some quantum wells exhibit a sharp m...

S a part of the record of performance studies with Milking Shorthorn steers at the U.S.D.A. Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, various body measurements of the steers were taken on foot before slaughter. These body measurements were taken to determine whether there exists any association between the measures themselves and between them and certain performance characters. These relationships...

Abstract We present an analysis of the 20 year snowfall dataset in Taylor Valley and results a new snow cover monitoring study. Snowfall has been measured at four sites from 1995 to 2017. focus on valley-floor when wind does not exceed 5 m s -1 , we exclude winter our due poor data quality. averaged 11 mm water equivalent (w.e.) 2017 across all stations ranged 1 58 w.e. Standard deviations 3 17...

This is an empirical study on the pricing of two vertical property attributes: floor level and building height. Floor level is the vertical location of a unit in a multi-storey building; the extra price paid for a higher floor level is labelled a floor-level premium. Previous hedonic price studies unequivocally showed that the floor-level premium is positive, but they were silent on whether its...

In most cases, structural engineers assume a concrete floor to be a rigid diaphragm. Although this simplification is in most cases acceptable, it should be noted that such an assumption may be distrusted due to certain problems. Concrete structures with staggered shear walls are among those whose analysis should be conducted with special concern for the behavior of their floor diaphragms. Howev...
