Processing of Underlying and Surface Phonological Representations In Visual Word Recognition
… selected for the study was the underlying and surface representations of word-final two-consonant codas. The underlying representation consisted of both consonants whereas the surface representation had the final consonant dropped. A set of three phonological lexical decision tasks were …

Intersection of B-spline surfaces by elimination method
Parametric surface representations such as the B-spline and Bezier geometries are widely used among the aerospace, automobile, and shipbuilding industries. These surfaces have proven to be very advantageous for defining and combining primitive geometries to form complex models. However, the task of …

Data reduction and knot removal for non-uniform B-spline surfaces
B-Spline curves and surfaces are being used throughout the aircraft industry for geometric modeling. Geometric models having accurate surface representations in the non-uniform B-Spline surface format can contain very large quantities of data. The computing power required by a CAD system for …

A GAN-BASED HUMAN UV COORDINATES ESTIMATION
… involve people, it is crucial to obtain accurate representations of the 3D human shape and appearance for efficient generation of modified content. Human UV coordinates estimation establishes correspondences between 3D human body surface representations and 2D texture pixels. It is widely used in …

Magnetic resonance imaging and surface-based analysis techniques to quantify growth of the developing brain
… folded) to accommodate a large cortical surface within the limited volume of the skull. Abnormal folding of the cerebral cortex in humans is associated with a number of neurological dysfunctions and diseases such as schizophrenia and Williams syndrome. To understand the mechanism of …

Stabilized finite elements for compressible turbulent Navier-Stokes
… solutions. Proper treatment of curved surface geometries is of vital importance in high-order methods, especially when high aspect ratio elements are used in viscous flow regions. In two dimensions, analytic surface representations are used to ensure proper surface point placement, and …

Discipline-Independent Text Information Extraction from Heterogeneous Styled References Using Knowledge from the Web
… and partially solve the problem of parsing surface representations of references. We describe empirical evidence for the effectiveness of our approach and plans for improvement of our method.

Neutral Tone in Mandarin: Representation and Interaction with Utterance-level Prosody
… However, research has focused more on how the surface pitch variations of NT are realized rather than the underlying representation of NT. In contrast, morphological, sociolinguistic and diachronic work on NT has suggested that NT may not be a homogeneous entity. In this thesis, I provide …

Phonetic Faithfulness in Phonological Opacity
… enriched with phonetic auditory features, and surface opacity emerges as a result of processing these enriched inputs. This proposal can be detailed as follows. First, processes that become opaque are initially biased by certain phonetic markedness conditions. Second, these phonetic biases, …

Extracting dimensional geometric parameters from B-spline surface models
… the geometry definition to be in the form of surface models. This dissertation presents the necessity and scope of creating and implementing methodologies to obtain dimensional geometric parameters from the surface description of an object. Since the study of geometric modeling and parametric …
