Dimensions of Bivariate Spline Spaces and Algebraic Geometry
(2010-07-14)
Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a given order of smoothness r.
Given complex delta the set of splines of degree less than or equal to d forms a vector
space and is denoted by Sr
d(delta). For a simplicial ...

The Effects of Handwriting, Spelling, and T-Units on Holistic Scoring with Implications for Dysgraphia
(2010-07-14)
This study examined the relationship of holistic scoring with handwriting legibility, spelling accuracy and number of T-units within compositions written by children in grades 3 through 6 using path analysis. A sample of ...
Effects of Microbial Ecology and Intestinal Morphology on Energy Utilization in Adult Cockerels
(2010-01-14)
A series of four experiments were conducted to evaluate whether a
preconditioning period, in which adult leghorn cockerels are allowed 3 weeks to adapt to
diets containing relatively high levels of guar meal (GM) resulted ...
Approaches to the Use of Geometry in Architecture: A study of the works of Andrea Palladio, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Frank Gehry
(2010-01-16)
Geometry deals with form, shape, and measurement and is a part of mathematics
where visual thought is dominant. Both design and construction in architecture deal with
visualization, and architects constantly employ geometry. ...
Development of Self-destructing Filter Cake
(2010-08-24)
The main goal of drilling a horizontal well is to enhance productivity or injectory by placing a long distance drain-hole within the pay-zone. Poor drilling fluid design results in difficulties such as poor hole cleaning, ...
Forces on laboratory model dredge cutterhead
(2010-07-14)
Dredge cutting forces produced by the movement of the cutterhead through the sediment have been measured with the laboratory dredge carriage located at the Haynes Coastal Engineering Laboratory. The sediment bed that was ...
Use of a Thermodynamic Engine Cycle Simulation to Study a Turbocharged Spark-ignition Engine
(2010-07-14)
The second law analysis is a powerful tool for assessing the performance of engines
and has been employed for few decades now. Turbocharged diesel engines have been
explored in much detail with the help of second law ...
