Noise smoothing for VR equipment in quaternions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
Smooth motion generation is an important issue in the computer animation and virtual reality (VR) area. In general, the motion of a rigid body consists of translation and orientation. The former is described by a space ...
The Pollyanna Hypothesis in Business Writing: Initial Results, Suggestions for Research
(Sage Publications, 1981)
This paper looks at three hypotheses: that regardless of the financially good or bad years of a corporation, the communication in the annual let ters to the stockholders will be predominantly positive; that negative words ...
The toughening of polyamide-6 by brominated poly(isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene): fracture and toughening mechanisms
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
A study on the toughening of polyamide-6 (PA-6) with a new elastomeric modifier, brominated poly(isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene) (BrXP-50), was conducted. Morphological analyses and mechanical tests were combined to evaluate ...
Modeling the effect of the curing conversion on the dynamic viscosity of epoxy resins cured by an anhydride curing agent
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-02-05)
Published curing profiles of epoxy resins mixed with an anhydride curing agent and subsequently crosslinked were reanalyzed with a modified sigmoidal model to describe the dynamic viscosity accompanying resin curing. The ...
The disturbance decoupling problem with measurement feedback and stability for systems with direct feedthrough matrices
(Elsevier, 1991-09)
In this paper the known geometric results on the disturbance decoupling problem with measurement feedback and internal stability (DDPMS) are extended to include non-zero direct feedthrough matrices. Necessary and sufficient ...
Participative Management and Worker Control in China
(Sage Publications, 1981)
While Chinese experiments with participative management practices in industry comprise perhaps the most radical and massive such effort in the modern world, they are still among the least understood in the West. The present ...
The determinants of divalent/monovalent selectivity in anion exchangers
(Elsevier, 1983-04)
This research demonstrates that it is the distance of fixed-charge separation in the resin which is the primary determinant of divalent/monovalent selectivity. Anion resins, particularly acrylics and epoxies, with closely ...
