Compressor leading edges
… on a production line to reject those leading edges that would otherwise be detrimental. The spikes are also shown to have a significant effect on the flow close to the endwalls. If they cause leading edge transition in this region then they will cause a growth in the size of the …

Edges and linearization
This thesis is concerned with how grammar determines the phonological consequence of syntactic dislocation. It centers on a hypothesis regarding the linearization of movement chains - the Edge Condition on Copy Deletion, eventually named the Edge Condition in the last chapter, when it receives its …

Edges from image
… ability of human eyes and detect scene edges from an image, context information and world constraints must be employed in the edge detection process. To accomplish this, two Bayesian decision theoretic frameworks for context dependent edge detection are developed around the local facet …

Syntactic edges and linearization
… predict unique ordering restrictions at the edges of syntactic domains. As a consequence of cyclic Spell-out and conditions on syntactic agreement, elements externally merged as a constituent at the edge of a Spell-out domain cannot be separated by a domain-internal element. This proposal …

The semantics of edges
… examines the semantics of cortext-independent edges in a real-world environment. Topics discussed include a classification scheme for edges, edge semantics, and a method for minimizing noise effects in edge computations.

Changing edges in graphical model algorithms
… can change over time, resulting in removal of edges, extra nodes, or changes in weights of the links in the graphs. For example, wires in message-passing decoding circuits can be misconnected due to process variation in nanoscale manufacturing or circuit aging, the style of passes among soccer …

Thresholds : landscape, city, and building edges
This thesis is a study of edges: the three-dimensional transitions between one kind of place or activity and another. We consider several scales of architecture where these transitions occur in an urban context, using the cities of Bath (England), Beijing (China), and Santa Monica (California) as …

Aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of flap side-edges
An experimental and computational investigation was carried out to determine the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of a flap side-edge. A porous side-edge treatment was applied to the flap side-edge in an attempt to reduce airframe noise. Measurements taken as part of the experimental study were …

Model for precise detection of bone edges
A mathematical model which is used to detect bone edges accurately is described in this thesis. This model is derived by assuming the X-ray source to be a square region. It is shown that for an ideal X-ray source (point source), the bone edge lies exactly at the location of maximum first derivative …

Modeling Objects Using Interest Points, Edges, and Regions
… object categories using interest points, edges, and regions. For interest points, a part based generate object template is proposed, which models object categories as a joint occurrence of appearance and location of texture patches around interest points. The model makes novel independence …

Retail/commercial edges in the contemporary urban context
… functional characteristics are germane to retail edges. The work is structured around and supportive of an attitude that views social interaction as a vital and necessary attribute of urban life and therefore of retail systems design and development in cities. The edges along three major Boston …

The Beauty of the World Has Two Edges
A library for rare books and a reading garden, the following project emerged from an attempt to better understand the idea of an autonomous architecture. Framing architectural questions as a choice between opposing alternatives of perceived relevance (e.g., geometric construction versus geometric …

Traits and Trees: Exploring the edges of phylogenetic methods
Phylogenetic methods are central to the study of biology and in recent years more formal techniques involving computational methods have been developed and widely applied. While these have focused on building the Tree of Life from molecular data, other approaches have extended to phenotypes, …

Hong Kong : city of edges : South East Kowloon development
Many extraordinary cities are developed along the edges of water into different directions. Yet, the city of Hong Kong has been formed along narrow strips of scarce flat-land around the harbor and from reclamations of land-fills. Urban fabrics are stretched along water edges of the Victoria Harbor …

Stability of Depletion Chamber Edges in Oil Sands Recovery Processes
Many modifications to Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) have been proposed to make the steam-based recovery process more efficient and profitable. A common approach is coinjection of additives with steam. There are two general classes of additives: first, solvents that dilute the bitumen …
