Visual simulation in time
(1968)Architectural design has always been limited to static procedures of study. The means of study has a profound effect on the shape and form of the result. The discovery of perspective drawing during the 15th century had a ... -
VISUALIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF MURAL THROMBOGENESIS (PLATELET ADHESION, COLLAGEN, POLYURETHANE, DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING)
(1986)Epi-fluorescence video microscopy, digital image processing, and photodiode photometry were used to visualize and analyze mural thrombogenesis on collagen coated glass, polyurethane, and nylon surfaces in contact with ... -
Visualization of Crude Oil Displacement by Foam Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in Microfluidic Devices
(2016-04-22)Foam flooding, as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process, has become of great interest to the oil industry. However, the mechanism of oil displacement by foam has not been fully understood. This thesis describes the ... -
Vittoria says:
(2003)vittoria says: "there are days when a table, or chair, or book, or a man are all the same."* is architecture a projection of our desires or are our desires a projection of architecture? looking at godard and loos. both ... -
VITURBO: A reconfigurable architecture for ubiquitous wireless networks
(2003)A run-time reconfigurable architecture for ubiquitous wireless networks has been designed and implemented. Reconfigurable architectures have the ability to change themselves dynamically thus presenting a viable proposition ... -
Vivian Fine's works for violoncello and piano
(2010)Vivian Fine (1913-2000), once considered a compositional prodigy by such illustrious composers as Henry Cowell, Aaron Copland, and Ruth Crawford, is nearly forgotten now, only ten years after her death. She has well over ... -
Vizer: A framework to analyze and vectorize Intel x86 binaries
(2003)Binary optimization has become increasingly important due to the widespread use of legacy programs and the presence of environments that require dynamic optimizers. Although processor technology changes constantly, software ... -
Vocational Interest and Its Impact on College-to-Career Trajectory in an 11-Year Longitudinal Study
(2018-11-29)This 11-year longitudinal study investigates the effects of vocational interest congruence, personality, and alternative options on college-to-career trajectories over time. Theories of vocational interest suggests that ... -
Vocational technical high school, Houston, Texas
(1992)This investigation attempts to create an environment that will foster the notion that the creation of an object is not merely a physical act but a mental journey. As architects, we are aware of the lack of separation between ... -
Voice and origin in Margaret Atwood's fiction
(1992)In contradiction to Lyotard, who posits an equal relationship between listener and speaker in Just Gaming and The Postmodern Condition, Atwood examines the ways in which women's voices are stifled by men's terroristic ... -
Void Off Center
(2011)This thesis exploits the potentials of the off centered void . While geometric rigidity confines the conventional void , eccentric alignments in Void Off Center escape those defining boundaries. These eccentricities extend ... -
Volatile cycling and the thermal evolution of planetary mantle
(2011)The thermal histories of terrestrial planets are investigated using two parameterized mantle convection models for either Earth like planets and planets with no active plate tectonics. Using parameterized models of mantle ... -
Volcanic rocks of the Rio Cauca Valley, Colombia, S. A
(1976)Miocene volcanic and related intrusive rocks have been investigated in the Rio Cauca valley of western Colombia. This valley is formed along the Romeral and related fault zones during tectonic adjustments between the ... -

(1966)Le but de cette thèse est de montrer l'influence que 1e séjour de Voltaire en Angleterre a eu sur sa pensée. Nous examinerons la réaction de Voltaire au contact avec les institutions, la philosophie, et la littérature ... -
VOLUME CONDUCTED CURRENTS AND POTENTIALS FROM EXCITABLE CELLS OF CYLINDRICAL GEOMETRY (NERVE FIBERS, SKELETAL MUSCLE)
(1986)The dissertation deals with the evaluation of currents and potentials from a variety of excitable cells of cylindrical geometry. Specifically, the cells considered are the unmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibers and the ... -
Volume visualization and volume painting of large data sets
(2009)Volume visualization of large volume data sets is traditionally based on surface fitting algorithms. With recent advances in graphics computation and memory capabilities, direct volume rendering techniques to produce ...
