Advanced building skins : translucent thermal storage elements
… combination is analyzed for its potential as a translucent thermal storage wall in the context of American residential construction. Aspects of performance, integration and design are explored through calculations, experimental testing and the creation of scaled models and a prototype element. …

Three dimensional imaging of translucent objects using volume holographic techniques
… Three dimensional in-situ images of these semi-translucent organisms are therefore of great interest. To better understand how volume holographic imaging works on a translucent object like plankton, this project explores the three dimensional imaging of a gummy bear. Tomographic experiments were …

QUANTUM AND TRANSLUCENT PARADIGMS IN AUTOMATA THEORY: A STUDY ON COMPUTATIONAL CAPABILITIES
… (QFAs) and Deterministic Pushdown Automata with Translucent Letters (DPDAwtl’s). QFAs can be regarded as classical finite state automata using quantum phenomena as computational primitives. We study their computational and descriptional power, with particular emphasis on unary language …

Walking on daylight : the application of translucent floor systems as a means of achieving natural daylighting in mid and low rise architecture
… invention in structural systems and the translucent component or window itself. This thesis pursues the application of translucent floor systems as an alternative or additional means of achieving daylighting in this same vein. This thesis begins by tracing and elaborating on the early …

Next generation CAT system
… technique is single-shot 3D reconstruction of a translucent object. Multiple light sources form images of a translucent object at different projection angles onto a screen. Those images are captured by a single-photo in a coded format via lenslet array. The projection image casted from each light …

Phases, microstructures, and microchemistry of silicon carbide-based ceramics
Pure SiC. Transparent, translucent and opaque regions of high purity bulk SiC grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were characterized for physical properties as well as for microstructure and chemical purity to correlate the degree of optical transparency with other material characteristics. A …

An experimental analysis of the parameters of facial screening
… setting; and b) the role of opaque vs. translucent bibs. In the first study, using a multiple baseline design, it was found that non-contingent facial screening was effective only after a history of pairing with contingent facial screening. While non-contingent facial screening reduced …

User Perceptions of Privacy and Comfort in Domestic Service Robots
… We utilize a privacy-enhancing feature: a translucent camera cover that blurs the robot’s vision while preserving a limited degree of functionality for computer vision algorithms. Our findings indicate that participants perceived greater privacy protection when the robot is equipped with a …

Control of Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters
… against V. vulnificus, both opaque and translucent, and V. parahaemolyticus have seasonal distribution, occurring mainly in the summer months when both V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus are at elevated number in oysters. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the predominant …

Shiver
… enveloping strands of tenuous connections, translucent flesh-like layers, and subtle movement through touch, my thesis installation entitled "Shiver" makes reference to the Sublime as it asks the infinite question; What is my primordial self?

Discourse on Lightness
… on the unveiling the layers of transparent and translucent materials which alternately obscure and reveal a sequence of views. The project aspires to create spaces with interplay of vision and blockage by exploring the correlations of light, transparency, translucency, opacity, diffusion, …

A Numerical Evaluation of Thermotropic Materials for Polymer Solar Thermal Collectors
… must be low. To achieve ≥50% reflectance in the translucent state necessitates a significant increase in optical thickness with temperature. Additionally, the material must have small particles (x ≤ 2.5) and be weakly absorbing (ω ≥ 0.990). For example, for a size parameter of 2, the optical …
