We use C 1 quintic superspline functions to interpolate any given scattered data. The space of C 1 quintic superspline functions is introduced in Lai and LeMehaute'99] and is an improvement of the Alfeld scheme of 3D scattered data interpolation. We have implemented the spline space in MATLAB and tested for the accuracy of reproduction of all quintic polynomials. We present some numerical evide...

Switch on the weather forecast any evening and one is left in no doubt as to the importance of water in the Earth’s atmosphere: will the water be gaseous (humidity), liquid (clouds, rain), solid (snow, ice or hail) or taken up by aerosol (haze) particles? The long-term role of water in our climate, and of course any change in our climate, is no less profound. The water vapour is both the domina...

The aminoacylation of tRNA has been fommlated as a two step reaction [ 11. The first reaction is the activation of the amino acid, and the second is the transfer of the activated amino acid onto the tRNA. Takeda and co-workers have proposed that only the first reaction requires magnesium ions; whereas, the magnesium ions are not necessary for the overall reaction [2,3]. This concept has caused ...

Ph.D. thesis (European doctorate mention) in Computer Science written by Davide Buscaldi under the supervision of Dr. Paolo Rosso (Univ. Politécnica de Valencia). The author was examined in Valencia in October 2010 by a panel composed by the following doctors: Paul David Clough (University of Sheffield), Ross Purves (Universität Zürich), Emilio Sanchis Arnal (Univ. Politécnica de Valencia), Mar...

In this paper, I discuss a method for increasing the continuity between two polynomial patches by adjusting their control points. The method described in this paper leaves the control points unchanged if the patches already meet with the desired level of continuity. Next I give two C degree n polynomial interpolation schemes that reproduce degree n polynomials, and show how to apply my continui...
