In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for the compositing of interactively rendered 3D layers tailored to the needs of scientific illustration. Currently, traditional scientific illustrations are produced in a series of composition stages, combining different pictorial elements using 2D digital layering. Our approach extends the layer metaphor into 3D without giving up the advantages of...

2014 The variations of IV characteristics under substrate bias are compared for normallyon and normally-off type planar GaAs-MESFETs with long-channel. The experimental results are interpreted by superimposing to the Schottky gate space-charge region both a depleted layer at the channel-substrate interface and a depleted surface region between source and gate. This last one is only of minor inf...

We study a dense colloidal suspension confined between two quasiparallel glass plates as a model system for a supercooled liquid in confined geometries. We directly observe the three-dimensional Brownian motion of the colloidal particles using laser scanning confocal microscopy. The particles form dense layers along the walls, but crystallization is avoided as we use a mixture of two particle s...

The increasing catalogue of high-quality ice-penetrating radar data provides a unique insight in the internal layering architecture of the Greenland ice sheet. The stratigraphy, an indicator of past deformation, highlights irregularities in ice flow and reveals large perturbations without obvious links to bedrock shape. In this work, to establish a new conceptual model for the formation process...

The interaction in turbulent boundary layers between very large scale motions centered nominally in the log region (termed superstructures) and the small scale motions is investigated across the boundary layer. This analysis is performed using tools based on Hilbert transforms. The results, across a large Reynolds number range, show that in addition to the large-scale log region structures supe...

it is proposed to use a single base platform in the persian gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to north sea and mexico gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. the pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. using sacs 5.3 sof...
