Practical Considerations On Color Image Enhancement Using Homomorphic Filtering, Liviu I. Voicu, Harley R. Myler, Arthur R. Weeks Jan 1997

Practical Considerations On Color Image Enhancement Using Homomorphic Filtering, Liviu I. Voicu, Harley R. Myler, Arthur R. Weeks

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

We present a study concerning the practical possibilities of using the homomorphic filtering for color image enhancement, Two of the most popular color models, RGB and C-Y (color difference), are employed and the results are comparatively discussed. The homomorphic filtering has proven to be a viable tool for both color models considered.

Mathematical Modeling Of Melting During Laser Materials Processing, J. Xie, A. Kar Jan 1997

Mathematical Modeling Of Melting During Laser Materials Processing, J. Xie, A. Kar

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Melting is encountered in almost all laser materials processing. This article deals with a one-dimensional heat conduction problem to investigate the melting rate during laser materials processing. The problem is solved approximately to obtain a correlation among melt depth, power density, and laser irradiation time. Based on this correlation, the dynamics of melting, a relationship between the melt depth and power density and an average melting velocity are expressed by simple analytic formulas. These expressions are further simplified for high power densities (I greater than or equal to 10(9) W/m(2)). The times to reach the melting and boiling temperatures at …

Melting And Vaporization For Large-Area Film Removal With A Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser, J. Xie, A. Kar Jan 1997

Melting And Vaporization For Large-Area Film Removal With A Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser, J. Xie, A. Kar

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Large-area film removal with lasers is a physical process of melting and vaporization of films. A mathematical model is developed to simulate the melting and vaporization of films under the irradiation of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser. The cross section of the film after laser scanning and the substrate surface temperature during laser irradiation are presented. There is an optimum laser power at which relatively wide films can be removed by maintaining low temperature at the substrate surface. The optimum laser power is associated with other process parameters. The results of film removal with TEM31 and TEM00 beams are compared, and …

Educational Assessment As Invitation For Dialogue, Ronald C. Arnett, Pat Arneson Jan 1997

Educational Assessment As Invitation For Dialogue, Ronald C. Arnett, Pat Arneson

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article offers a communicative foundation for viewing the act of educational assessment as an opportunity for dialogue with a larger public in the U.S. There are three main areas which comprise an invitation for dialogue with the public: the politics of assessment, foundation for dialogue about the communication discipline and the proposal for a dialogic communication with the public as a way to create shared meaning about the process of communication. Invitation to dialogue envisions communication as socially constructed. Both self and other are central to the emergence of truth. The wise communicator is careful, but in the midst …

The Oral Communication Competence Dilemma: Are We Communicating Competently About Speech Communication?, Cathy A. Fleuriet Jan 1997

The Oral Communication Competence Dilemma: Are We Communicating Competently About Speech Communication?, Cathy A. Fleuriet

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the oral communication competence problem among students in public schools, colleges and universities in the U.S. In response to concerned administrators who question the value of the study of speech communication, communication specialists are providing definitions and assessment of oral communication competence in order to solidify the speech communication discipline's role in ensuring competence among students in higher education. Many of the schools fulfilling the mandate through English/Language Arts courses included initial statements in their documents explaining that the requirement is being met through communication courses. A major problem in monitoring the oral communication competency mandate, such …

A "Glimpse" Of The Status Of The Discipline: Internal Identity Of Speech Communication At A Small College, Barbara J. Adler Jan 1997

A "Glimpse" Of The Status Of The Discipline: Internal Identity Of Speech Communication At A Small College, Barbara J. Adler

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the results of a survey administered to faculty and administration at a small U.S. liberal arts college associated with the Lutheran Church, to assess the attitudes toward the speech communication discipline at the college. Speech communication discipline was assessed according to its level of respect, its overall status and its identity as a reputable academic field. Speech communication received its highest ranking for the descriptor applications based, matching the perception that the field is dominated by utility courses that teach students how to give a speech.

National Preferences In Business And Communication Education: A Survey Update, Jerry L. Winsor, Dan B. Curtis, Ronald D. Stephens Jan 1997

National Preferences In Business And Communication Education: A Survey Update, Jerry L. Winsor, Dan B. Curtis, Ronald D. Stephens

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article discusses the results of a survey in the U.S. regarding national preferences in business and communication education. From the results of this and the previous study, it appears that the skills most valued in the contemporary job-entry market are communication skills. The skills of listening, oral communication (both interpersonal and public), written communication and the trait of enthusiasm are indicated to be the most important. Again, it would appear to follow that university officials wishing to be of the greatest help to their graduates in finding employment would make sure that basic competencies in oral and written communication …

3d Realtime Fluid Animation By Navier-Stokes Equations, Niels Da Vitoria Lobo, Chen Jinxiong Jul 1996

3d Realtime Fluid Animation By Navier-Stokes Equations, Niels Da Vitoria Lobo, Chen Jinxiong

UCF Patents

This is a method for physically-based modeling of three dimensional (3D) general fluid animation in computer graphics. By solving the two dimensional (2D) Navier-Stokes equations using a Computational Fluid Dynamics method, we map it into 3D using the corresponding pressures in the fluid flow field. The method achieves realistic real-time fluid animation by solving the physical governing laws of fluids but avoiding the extensive 3D fluid dynamics computation. Unlike previous computer graphics fluid models, our approach can model many different fluid behaviors by changing the internal or external boundary conditions. It can also model different kinds of fluids by varying …
