Strengthening the Precalculus Bridge: Enhancing the Precalculus Student's Understanding of Tangents to Conics, Biquadratic Equations, and Maxima and Minima
<p>Many students face tremendous difficulty in high school and/or college level calculus courses. The author hopes that by introducing students to the following nontraditional three topics prior to calculus, students' understanding of calculus will be enhanced. This thesis focuses on the following …

Numerical variational methods in differential geometry and applications to computer graphics
… 1, we define discrete objects like $\delta$-tangents, $\delta$-normals and $\delta$-curvatures which are analogues of smooth objects in differential geometry. These are incorporated into numerical methods for computer simulation of geometric objects. Some methods to generate geodesic curves …

Quantifying the Impact of Pavement Surface Properties on Road Safety: A Data-Driven Approach
… RMSE −2.3%) showed the largest gains; freeway tangents improved modestly (ΔAIC −36.7; RMSE −0.34%). Curves and rural tangents saw negligible benefits, supporting parsimony. Coefficients are reported as IRRs; SFN40 is consistently protective (≈7%, 5%, and 1% lower expected crashes per +1 point …

Automated Radiotherapy Treatment Planning for Breast Cancer: A Robust to ol for Global Deployment
… arc therapy. These included conventional tangents for whole-breast treatment, variations for supraclavicular node (SCLV) irradiation with or without axillary nodes, and two approaches for comprehensive regional lymph node irradiation—either photon wide tangents with an SCLV field or photon …

Distribution of some arithmetic sequences
… study the distribution of angles between common tangents of Ford circles, which is a special case of Apollonian circle packing. We provide the limiting distribution functions of these angles in different situations.

Microwave sensing of bulk electrical properties of tank track pad rubber
… technique is well suited for material with loss tangents between 0.1 and 1.0. Only material within a radius on the order of the outer conductor radius of the coaxial waveguide is interrogated. Inferred permittivity measurements for rubber samples are presented. An APC-7 connector is used as the …

Methods of non-linear least squares estimation
… above two procedures, 4) the methods of parallel tangents - a geometrical approach, 5) methods of conjugate directions - another geometrical approach, 6) a simplex method - based upon successive sets of guesses. A large bibliography is also included as a guide for further study.

Bunkerology - a case study in the meanings, motives and methods of urban exploration
… I am addressing that separately. Other tangents left on the 'cutting room floor' in the dissertation writing process have either seen light separately (my paper 'the Bunker' looking at the interplay of the materiality and metaphor of these structures in organisational culture) or are …

Dielectric loss determination using perturbation
… sample dielectric materials. The dielectric loss tangents computed by this new technique improve the unperturbed estimates in the microwave frequency range.

Shape design using intrinsic geometry
… It is assumed that the end-point coordinates and tangents are specified for design of curves. A shape model is conceived as a set of continuous piecewise linear segments of the curvature, each segment defined as a function of the arc length. The shape design variables are the values of curvature …

Advanced four-dimensional trajectory generation for tactical guidance of unmanned aerial vehicles
… trajectory is speci fied using way-points, tangents, and a geometric acceleration vector that controls the curvature. A velocity pro le is constructed to add the time component, which can be speci fied as a time of arrival or velocity at each way-point. Additionally the tangent, consisting …

Electromagnetic radiation calorimetry of thermoplastics, elastomers and composites systems
… obtained from the intercepts of positive slope tangents of heating rate versus temperature plots at 2.45 GHz for polymers. Microwave processing was rapid above the critical temperature where the maximum dielectric loss fell in the 2.45 GHz frequency domain for efficient coupling of energy to the …
