101 Hansen, Charles D.Fast data parallel polygon renderingThis paper describes a data parallel method for polygon rendering on a massively parallel machine. This method, based on a simple shading model, is targeted for applications which require very fast rendering for extremely large sets of polygons. Such sets are found in many scienti c visualization ap...1993
102 Garrett, Timothy J.No way out? the double-bind in seeking global prosperity alongside mitigated climate changeIn a prior study (Garrett, 2011), I introduced a simple economic growth model designed to be consistent with general thermodynamic laws. Unlike traditional economic models, civilization is viewed only as a well-mixed global whole with no distinction made between individual nations, economic sectors,...2012-01-01
103 Horch, Kenneth W.Ontogeny of diving and feeding behavior in juvenile seaturtles: Leatherback Seaturtles (Dermochelys coriacea L) and Green Seaturtles (Chelonia mydas L) in the Florida CurrentWe compared activity, diving behavior and response to prey by Dermochelys coriacea and Chelonia mydas during their first 8-10 weeks of development.We reared juveniles in the laboratory and, at two-week intervals, released them in the ocean for a brief trial.

104 Blumenthal, Donald K.; Trewhella, JillConformationally dynamic C helix of the RIalpha subunit of protein kinase A mediates isoform-specific domain reorganization upon C subunit binding.Different isoforms of the full-length protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit homodimer (R2) and the catalytic (C) subunit-bound holoenzyme (R2C2) have very different global structures despite similar molecular weights and domain organization within their primary sequences. To date, it has been th...Protein Isoforms; Global Structures; cAMP2005-10-21
105 Cohen, ElaineHidden curve removal for free form surfacesThis paper describes a hidden curve algorithm specifically designed for sculptured surfaces. A technique is described to extract the visible curves for a given scene without the need to approximate the surface by polygons. This algorithm produces higher quality results than polygon based algorithms,...Hidden curves; Free form surfaces; Sculptured surfaces1989
106 Symons, John DavidHyperhomocysteinemia evoked by folate depletion: effects on coronary and carotid arterial functionHigh circulating concentrations of homocysteine (ie, hyperhomocysteinemia [Hhcy]) impair the vascular function of peripheral conduit arteries and arterioles perfusing splanchnic and skeletal muscle regions. The effects of HHcy on coronary resistance vessel function and other indexes of vascular func...Hyperhomocysteinemia; Coronary resistance artery; Arterial stiffness; Arterial permeability; Vascular reactivity; Folate depletion; Rat2002
107 Mecklenburg, RobertSTORY: A hierarchical animation and storyboarding system for alpha-1We introduce an integrated animation and storyboarding system that simplifies the creation and refinement of computer generated animations. The framework models both the process and product of an animated sequence, making animation more accessible for communication and as an art form. The system a...STORY; storyboarding system; animation system; computer generated animations1993
108 Hansen, Charles D.Illustrative interactive stipple renderingAbstract-Simulating hand-drawn illustration can succinctly express information in a manner that is communicative and informative. We present a framework for an interactive direct stipple rendering of volume and surface-based objects. By combining the principles of artistic and scientific illustratio...2003-04
109 Hansen, Charles D.Interactive volume rendering using multi-dimensional transfer functions and direct manipulation widgetsMost direct volume renderings produced today employ onedimensional transfer functions, which assign color and opacity to the volume based solely on the single scalar quantity which comprises the dataset. Though they have not received widespread attention, multi-dimensional transfer functions are a v...Volume rendering; Volume visualization; Direct volume rendering; Multidimensional transfer functions; Direct manipulation widgets; Graphics hardware2001

111 Chapman, David S.Inversion of bottom-hole temperature data: the Pineview field, Utah-Wyoming thrust beltThe present day temperature field in a sedimentary basin is a constraint on the maturation of hydrocarbons; this temperature field may be estimated by inverting corrected bottom-hole temperature (BHT) data. Thirty-two BHTs from the Pineview oil field are corrected for drilling disturbances by a Ho...Thermal analysis; Bottom hole temperature; Inversion; Pineview Oil Field1988-05
112 Freire, Juliana; Silva, Claudio T.Querying and creating visualizations by analogyWhile there have been advances in visualization systems, particularly in multi-view visualizations and visual exploration, the process of building visualizations remains a major bottleneck in data exploration. We show that provenance metadata collected during the creation of pipelines can be reused ...Provenance; VisTrails; Pipelines; Query-by-example2007-11
113 Mcpherson, Brian James; Chapman, David S.Thermal analysis of the southern Powder River Basin, WyomingTemperature and geologic data from over 3000 oil and gas wells within a 180 km x 30 km area that transect across the southern Powder River Basin in Wyoming, U.S.A., were used to determine the present thermal regime of the basin. Three-dimensional temperature fields within the transect, based on...1996
