Geometric trimming of B-spline surfaces
… research studies the topic of geometric surface trimming. Most of the work that has been done on surface trimming refers to visual trimming, in which, unwanted portions of a surface patch are not removed but simply hidden. Geometric trimming actually removes the unwanted portion of a surface …

Effects of Whisker-Trimming on GABAA Receptors in S1 Cortex
A number of studies have shown that sensory deprivation is associated with selective decreases in GABA, GAD, and GABA receptors, in deprived areas of visual and somatosensory cortex. Those studies focused on layer 4, a recipient of direct thalamocortical sensory input. However, supragranular layers …

Investigating audio classification to automate the trimming of recorded lectures
… process. One of the steps involves manual trimming of unwanted segments from the beginning and end of video before it is published. These segments generally contain student chatter. The trimming step of the lecture-capture process has been identified as a bottleneck due to its dependence on …

Optimization of edging and trimming operations for red oak lumber
… project investigated the upgrading of edging and trimming operations for red oak lumber through computer-aided optimization. The main objective was to evaluate how lumber value recovered by actual hardwood operations compare with the maximum value obtainable through the optimization of edging and …

An optimal approach to geometric trimming of B-spline surfaces
Geometric trimming of a surface involves removal of unwanted portions of the surface and providing a new mathematical description for the trimmed patch. This entails creating a new geometry for the trimmed patch, which closely approximates the corresponding portion on the original patch. The …

Optimal Geometric Trimming of B-spline Surfaces for Aircraft Design
… in a uniform format. Unlike the visual trimming of B-spline surfaces, which hides unwanted portions in rendering, the geometric trimming approach provides a mathematically clean representation. This dissertation focuses on the geometric trimming of fuselage and wing components …

Trimming Fat Upon Infection: Proteolytic Demyristoylation as a Novel Bacterial Pathogenic Strategy
Host-pathogen interaction is a complex process that involves an array of molecular tools on both sides of the conflict. In the light of growing antibiotics resistance, understanding of virulence factors utilized by pathogenic bacteria is crucial for developing better treatment for infectious …

A control system for laser trimming thick film resistors and the reliability effects
… tolerances for electrical components through a trimming process. Components/elements, as produced, show a tolerance of the order of ±10% due to the variability of the screen printing process associated with film curing conditions. The methods that have arisen from this need encompass a variety …

Geometric Trimming and Curvature Continuous Surface Blending for Aircraft Fuselage and Wing Shapes
… on surface blending is based on visual trimming. In the process of visual trimming, the unwanted portion of a surface is only hidden but not removed. Geometric trimming provides a complete mathematical description of the wanted portion of the trimming surface, and generates a new …

The Effects of Beak Trimming and Claw Reduction on Growing and Early Laying Parameters, Fearfulness, and Heterophil to Lymphocyte Ratios
Commercial equipment used by the turkey industry at hatch sterilizes the germinal tissue of the claw with microwave energy and the beak tissue with infrared energy. This effectively claw and beak trims the birds. To test this technique on chickens, one-half of two strains of 1,200 Leghorn chicks …

Effect of juvenile dietary regime and time of beak trimming on pullet growth, subsequent egg production and incidence of prolapse in Leghorns
Beak trimming at two different ages, Week-1 and Week-8, under four dietary regimens, varying in percent crude protein (CP) and metabolizable energy (ME) were compared. The dietary regimens were conventional high energy (CHE), conventional medium energy (CME), conventional low energy (CLE) and …
