We present the results of the stellar and ionized gas kinematics of 13 bright peculiar Virgo cluster galaxies. The stellar velocity field are mostly consistent with a rotation pattern, but some of them shows interesting features such as; Sshaped stellar isovelocity contours in NGC 4064, and signatures of kinematical distinct components in NGC 4429, and NGC 4698. This latter galaxy and NGC 4424 ...

Methodologies to improve disdrometer processing, loosely based on mathematical techniques common to the field of particle flow and fluid mechanics, are examined and tested. The inclusion of advection and vertical wind field estimates appears to produce significantly improved results in a Lagrangian hydrometeor trajectory model, in spite of very strict assumptions of noninteracting hydrometeors,...

Neurophysiological studies and computational models of illusory contour formation have focused on contour orientation as the underlying determinant of illusory contour shape in both static and moving displays. Here, we report a class of motion-induced illusory contours that demonstrate the existence of novel mechanisms of illusory contour synthesis. In a series of experiments, we show that the ...

We present a machine learning approach to modeling bowing control parameter contours in violin performance. Using accurate sensing techniques we obtain relevant timbre-related bowing control parameters such as bow transversal velocity, bow pressing force, and bow-bridge distance of each performed note. Each performed note is represented by a curve parameter vector and a number of note classes a...

In a triple-hole system comprising primary hole and two sister holes, when the holes are positioned slightly downstream of main under steady flow conditions, their jets generate an anti-counter-rotating vortex pair. Vortex interactions between increase effectiveness adiabatic film cooling. this study, series large-eddy simulations were conducted to understand how pulsations in affect cooling tr...

Contour crossings are a form of numerical error common to contour dynamical and contour-advective simulations of geophysical fluid flows. This thesis is devoted to the study of contour crossings that occur in simulations of fluid motion performed by the Contour-Advective Semi-Lagrangian (CASL) algorithm. Components of the CASL algorithm relevant to the study of contour crossings are discussed. ...

This paper describes a novel method to measure the differential invariants of the image velocity field from the integral of normal image velocities around image contours. This is equivalent to measuring the temporal changes in the area of a closed contour. This avoids having to recover a dense image velocity field and taking partial derivatives. It also does not require point or line correspond...

| In this paper, we propose a new approach for tracking the deformation of the Left Ventricular (LV) my-ocardium from two-dimensional Magnetic Resonance (MR) phase contrast velocity elds. The use of phase contrast MR velocity data in cardiac motion problems has been introduced by others 1] and shown to be potentially useful for tracking discrete tissue elements, and therefore characterizing LV ...

This paper presents a novel method of velocity eld estimation for the points on moving contours in a 2-D image sequence. The method determines the corresponding point in a next image frame by considering the curvature change of a given point on the contour. In traditional methods, there are errors in optical ow estimation for the points which have low curvature variations since those methods co...

This research focuses on creating a standardized nasal cavity model of adult Malaysian females. The methodology implemented in this research is a new approach compared to other methods used by previous researchers. This study involves 26 females who represent the test subjects for this preliminary study. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis was carried out to better understand the charact...
