Comparison And Evaluation Of Black Carbon And Elemental Carbon Instrumentation In A Near Roadway Environment, Brandon James Feenstra
Comparison And Evaluation Of Black Carbon And Elemental Carbon Instrumentation In A Near Roadway Environment, Brandon James Feenstra
Theses Digitization Project
This study was conducted at a site adjacent to the I-710 freeway in Long Beach California from March 7 to April 8 of 2012 to evaluate various black carbon and elemental carbon aerosol measurement methods. The measurement of carbonaceous aerosol is a growing field of study because of increasing interest into the climate and health effects of black carbon (BC), and important constituent of atmospheric particular matter (PM). Elemental carbon (EC) and BC are measurements of similar portions of carbon particulate matter, but two measures are operationally defined according to the method used for their detection.

3d Face Animation With Opengl Es: An Android Application, Ihab Mohamad Zbib
3d Face Animation With Opengl Es: An Android Application, Ihab Mohamad Zbib
Theses Digitization Project
Mobile applications have become ubiquitious with the increase in the popularity and computational power of mobile devices. They can now support rich multimedia user interactions. This project consists of the design and implementaiton of an Android application that renders and animates a three-dimensional model of a human head. The test is synthesized using an Android Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. The application successfully implements a novel solution for the animated speech synchronization and opens the door for further work in the field of interactive animation. The project can be extended to become an interface for virtual remote communication or animated text messaging.

Hyperbolicity Equations For Knot Complements, Christopher Martin Jacinto
Theses Digitization Project
This study analyzes Carlo Petronio's paper, An Algorithm Producing Hyperbolicity Equations for a Link Complement in S³. Using the figure eight knot as an example, we will explain how Petronio's algorithm was able to decompose the knot complement of an alternating knot into tetrahedra. Then, using the vertex invariants of these tetrahedra, we will explain how Petronio was able to create hyperbolicity equations.
