Volumes of line bundles on schemes
… schemes over arbitrary fields. We show that volumes are limits in two classes of schemes that are not necessarily generically reduced: codimension one subschemes of projective varieties such that their components of maximal dimension contain normal points, and projective schemes whose …

Point-Based Color Bleeding with Volumes
<p>The interaction of light in our world is immensely complex, but with mod-</p> <p>ern computers and advanced rendering algorithms, we are beginning to reach</p> <p>the point where photo-realistic renders are truly difficult to separate from real</p> <p>photographs. Achieving realistic or …

Shape memory ceramics in small volumes
Shape memory ceramics rely on martensitic transformations which are similar to those found in metallic shape memory materials, but ceramics offer several advantages over metals such as higher operating temperatures and larger transformation stresses. However, polycrystalline shape memory ceramics …

AI-Supported Interactive Segmentation of 3D Volumes
… the partitioning of the data into disjoint sub-volumes with the goal to extract information about these regions,is a difficult problem and has been discussed in medical imaging for decades. Due to the ever-increasing imaging capabilities, in particular in X-ray computed tomography (CT) or …

Genetic influence on brain volumes in psychosis.
… influence of susceptibility genes on brain volumes in psychosis. More specifically, I explored whether certain allelic variations are associated with global brain volumes in subjects with psychosis, their relatives and in healthy controls. To increase the statistical power, I combined three …

Ionic volumes, compressibilities and electrostriction of electrolyte solutions.
… with experimental values. The partial molal volumes V¯ of a series of homologous tetraalkylammonium chlorides, bromides and iodides have been precisely measured by means of a differential buoyancy technique. The extrapolated values of V¯ to infinite dilution give V¯° data …

Real–Time Imaging of Decimetre–Resolution 3D Seismic Volumes
… (Vardy et al., 2008). Both stacked and migrated volumes are used to identify 89 individual buried targets that are correlated with coincident objects. Through subsequent dredging, a 100 % detection success is demonstrated, along with the strong similarity between the migrated reflector morphology …

Enforcement of UK merchant shipping legislation: in 2 volumes
The basis of this thesis is an investigation of Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) administrative and criminal enforcement files, relating to UK detentions and prosecutions. It would appear that this is the first time that such an analysis has been made.<br/><br/>The thesis is divided into four …

Factors Affecting Redox Magnetohydrodynamics for Flow in Small Volumes
… automated methods to manipulate ultra-small volumes (picoliters) of samples and solution, including pumping, stirring, and positioning. Current methods for ultra-small volume microfluidics have limitations that restrict their use including high voltage requirements, disadvantageous flow …

Determining the partial volumes of brain tissue from spectroscopy voxels
MS tai magneettispektroskopia on kuvantamistekniikka, jolla saadaan tietoa kudosten metaboli ittikonsentraatioista tietystä tilavuudesta. Näistä konsentraatioarvoista voidaan tehdä potilaan diagnostiikkaan vaikuttavia johtopäätöksiä. Tekniikkaa voidaan käyttää myös aivokuvantamisessa. Aivot …

An Evaluation of the Thermodilution Method for Measuring Ventricular Volumes.
Accurate size information on a living heart is essential for an in-depth study of its cardiac function. A review of the literature since the turn of the century reveals the great amount of effort that has been expended in the search for better ways to measure heart size. Starling’s law relates …

Insurance law and the Financial Ombudsman Service [in 3 volumes]
This thesis is the only study there is of the workings of the Financial Ombudsman Service ('FOS') and a comparison between court and FOS attitudes and approaches to insurance cases. A court and the FOS may decide matters differently because the FOS does not have to apply the law strictly, whilst a …

Computer vision-based structural assessment exploiting large volumes of images
<p>Visual assessment is a process to understand the state of a structure based on evaluations originating from visual information. Recent advances in computer vision to explore new sensors, sensing platforms and high-performance computing have shed light on the potential for vision-based visual …

Activation volumes of carbon diffusion in F.C.C. iron-nickel alloys
"The disaccommodation technique was used to determine the activation volume of carbon diffusion, ΔV, in six fcc iron-nickel alloys. Measurements were made at temperatures ranging from 68ºC to 90ºC and pressures up to six kilobars on samples having a nickel content between 31 and 63 at. %. A maximum …

The choral music of Lou Harrison. (Volumes I and II)
Lou Harrison's music is clearly an important contribution to the twentieth century repertoire. His early writing for percussion ensemble, experiments in just intonation, melding of Eastern and Western influences, instrument building, and music for gamelan are especially significant. While much of …
