A Methodology for Using Assistive Sketch Recognition For Improving a Person’s Ability to Draw
(2010-07-14)
When asked to draw, most people are hesitant because they believe themselves
unable to draw well. A human instructor can teach students how to draw by encouraging
them to practice established drawing techniques and by ...
Modeling Air Quality Near Freeways Using a Three Dimensional Eulerian Model
(2010-10-12)
Near-road air quality studies have indicated the presence of high levels of pollutants. In this study, a three dimensional Eulerian model is developed which can be used to study the air quality near freeways. A vehicle-induced ...
The Effects of Individual and Routine Forces in Gatekeeping on Student Journalists and Editors of University Newspaper Publications
(2010-10-12)
Most gatekeeping studies involve evaluating journalists and editors with years of
media writing experience to determine how they are influenced by gatekeeping forces.
While many universities publish a campus newspaper that ...
Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Measurement for Square Channels with V-shape Ribs at High Reynolds Numbers
(2010-10-12)
In previous studies, the thermal performance of ribbed channels was studied for
Reynolds numbers up to 100,000 with different rib shapes. In more recent studies, the
thermal performance of ribbed channels was studied up ...
