The Rigging of HMS Invincible.
… the time in order to reconstruct the type of rigging it carried. The rigging is the most important part of the ship, allowing it to travel long distances and manoeuvre in battle and coming into port; however, as it is a rare survival in the archaeological record most of the information about …

Using rigging and transfer to animate 3D characters
… effort. For skeletal animations, this involves rigging the character, by specifying how the skeleton is positioned relative to the character and how posing the skeleton drives the character's shape. Currently, artists typically manually position the skeleton joints and paint skinning weights …

Rigging the world : 3D modeling and the seduction of the real
Evidence from history, archaeology, and the social sciences suggests that making models of the world has anchored our understanding of it since the earliest days. From models of deities, dwellings and weapons to molecules and planetary systems, models have been tools for thinking and imagining, as …

Sensitivity Analysis of Turbulent Free-Surface Flows Applied to Optimal Casting Rigging Design
Additionally, the numerical model, upon which the sensitivity calculations are based, was verified against a turbulent filling experiment. The filling times and patterns for a simple mold were studied using water as an analog of liquid aluminum. Further, laminar filling experiments using solutions …

A design for a flexible, low-cost rigging block for black-box theaters by Michael J. Shields.
Theater rigging greatly expands both scenic movement and storage options when putting on a production. Small, black-box theaters are often built without rigging equipment in them. Temporary rigging equipment can greatly add to the flexibility of these spaces. A rigging block was designed which can …

Efficient ordinary differential equation-based modelling and skin deformations for character animation.
… of character animation, skin surface modelling, rigging and skin deforamtion are three essential aspects. Due to the different complexity of the characters, the time cost on creating corresponding skin surface model, animation skeleton in order to achieve diverse skin de- formations, fluctuates …

The architecture of masts
… from the nature of boats and their delicate rigging. The architecture was generated from the principles of material economy of the masts and ties to create a tensile structure. Although the project fulfills the basic needs of a sailing school, its form came from the desire to express the …

The law and economics of bargaining: an examination of the bargaining model employed by South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission
… economics, specifically plea-bargaining and bid-rigging during government auctions. Applying lessons learned from these problems, and employing game-theoretic analysis, this dissertation analyses the Truth-Amnesty game and puts it squarely within the law and economics framework. The analysis …

Failure of carbon fiber yacht mast in heavy weather
… data shortage. Some other evolutions in the rigging design also appeared to be of interest, like for example the free-standing mast or a video system helping the helmsman to use its sails at their maximum.

Nudging contracting firms rivals within municipal road projects in Saudi Arabia to bid competitively
… measures have been proposed to tackle bid-rigging practices in public procurement, which are based on reducing opportunities for such illicit arrangements. Maximising the number of market players is one of the most prevalent measures suggested in previous studies. However, there has been …
