Everything we have ever loved has already left us (((December 31, 2004 11:14 AM) (the Antarctic Circle) (Femte Akten: 00:08:33)(2006) Mueller, Stephen George Alexander; Huynh, KimItem Open Access 1,5 Diphosphadithiatetrazocines: synthesis, isomers, metal complexes and anions(1992) Edwards, Mark; Chivers, TristramItem Open Access 14-electron phosphonium alkylidenes in olefin metathesis: a synthetic and mechanistic study(2006) Romero Guadjardo, Patricio Eduardo; Piers, Warren E.Item Open Access 1d compression creep behaviour of kaolinite and bentonite clay(2011) Varatharajan, Sivarajan; Wong, Ronald C. K.Creep mechanisms and factors influencing the creep in clay soils are not yet well understood due to the complex structure of clay matrix. An experimental program was conducted to investigate the parameters affecting the creep behaviour. One-dimensional single stage, stepwise and overloaded-unloaded compression creep tests were conducted using standard oedometer apparatus on kaolinite and bentonite clay samples. Single and radial drainage conditions with different pore fluids were considered. Required creep stress levels were achieved using instantaneous loading increments. Effects of stress level, stress history, pore fluid chemistry, fabric structure, drainage condition and mineral compositions of clay on creep behaviour were studied based on the experimental results. Drainage condition exhibited insignificant influence on creep. Creep mechanisms were explained as a combined effect of sliding of clay particles at their contacts and deformation of particle itself. Compression of micro pores during the creep is negligible. Developed model successfully describes the creep behaviour interims of viscosity.Item Open Access 1D image compression using attractor coding technique and Hilbert scan(1996) Chung, Chia-Luh; Bruton, Leonard T.Item Open Access 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 induced osteogenesis in murine embryonic stem cells: the role of Wnt5a(2006) Davis, Lesley Anne Margaret; Rancourt, DerrickItem Open Access 2-D up-scaling of naturally fractured reservoirs(2002) Xie, Jin; Pooladi-Darvish, MehranItem Open Access 2-deoxyglucose analysis of the neonatal and adult guinea pig visual systems(1994) Hamaluk, Eleanor Gail; Cooper, Roderick M.Item Open Access 2-Deoxyglucose uptake in the rat visual system under different levels of arousal(1989) McIntosh, Anthony Randal; Cooper, Roderick M.Item Open Access 3-D physical seismic modeling study of a lower cretaceous channel in Southern Alberta(1994) Hrabi, Kelly Dale; Lawton, Donald CalebItem Open Access 3D IIR filtering using decimated DFT-polyphase filter bank structures(2005) Kuenzle, Bernhard; Bruton, Leonard T.Item Open Access 3D mesh watermarking(2008) Eshraghi Boroojeni, Mahsa; Samavati, Faramarz F.3D watermarking methods embed a hidden watermark into 3D models for the main purpose of copyright protection and content authentication. The growing use of 3D models in various fields of industry, such as games, animation, virtual reality, and cultural heritage, along with the possibility of easy reproduction and distribution, has drawn the attention to copyright protection of 3D models. This thesis develops a watermarking framework for polygonal meshes that attains robustness against a list of accessible attacks. A watermark is embedded into the geometry of a mesh by perturbing the mesh vertices along t heir tangent space to achieve invisibility. The mesh capacity for the embedded watermark can be as high as the number of its vertices, which is usually a fairly large number. To sort out the issue of robustness, a list of the most accessible attacks through common graphics tools is proposed that includes affine transformations, geometrical deformations, topological attacks, subdivision attacks, vertex reordering, and combination of these attacks. To achieve robustness against the proposed list of attacks, a set of attack recovery techniques are developed. Geometric segmentation is proposed to recover the inserted watermark against geometrical deformations and topological attacks. Geometric indexing is performed to resist vertex reordering attacks. Robustness against affine transformations is achieved through a coordinate normalization scheme. Finally, a resolution normalization scheme is proposed to resist the subdivision attacks.Item Open Access 3D micro-CT imaging of human cortical bone porosity: a novel method for estimating age at death(2005) Cooper, David M.
