Comparing two post occupancy evaluation methods with an urban plaza test case
… POE observation methods (direct observation and time-lapse photography) were comparatively tested in order to assess their reliability. Reliability concerns the extent to which different observers or the camera yield the same results in observing the same situation. The test case was conducted in …

D4ar- 4 Dimensional Augmented Reality - Models or Automation and Interactive Visualization of Construction Progress Monitoring
… rather than the real world where it is time-consuming and costly. To that extent, the underlying hypotheses and algorithms for generation of integrated 4D as-built and as-planned models as well as automated progress monitoring are presented. Promising experimental results are …

Influence of Predation on Least Tern and Piping Plover Productivity Along the Missouri River in South Dakota
… raptor pellet collections, track surveys, time-lapse photography, and site observations indicated that American kestrels (Falco sparyerius), American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos), raccoons (Procyon lotor), great horned owls (lma.Q yirginianus), and mink (Mustela yison) were having a …

Moving: knowledge, image, embodiment and Iranian-American identity in the post-911 USA
… I feel necessary for surviving this period of time intact, that being a reliance on hope, wonder, audacity and truth-telling. As global structural elements have shifted, new wars are being fought and new types of racisms appear, patterns of communication as affect and presence make tricky new …

Spatial Behavior and Population Estimation of the Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys Temminckii)
… recapture and a novel plot sampling model using time lapse photography. The results of this study give valuable insights into the habitat preferences of <em>M. temminckii </em>which may provide guidance to managers and policy makers in the region. This work will also give managers and researchers …

A sphere settling in a stratified fluid at small Reynolds number
… many particle diameters downstream. Using time-lapse photography, the drag on the sphere was measured and we have obtained the first experimental quantification of the added drag on a sphere due to stratification. We found that stratification increases the hydrodynamic drag, and that the …

Biotic and abiotic interactions of deep-sea hydrothermal vent-endemic fish on the East Pacific Rise
… for some early portion of its life-cycle. Time-lapse photography and in situ electrochemistry indicated that T. hollisi are preferentially utilizing fish holes where there are elevated temperatures and sulfide levels, and variable oxygen levels in comparison to ambient bottom water. A …

Non-perennial streamflow & geomorphic patterns in a semi-arid rangeland slated for development
… multiple locations along the stream network with time-lapse photography. Photo observations and precipitation data were reviewed to determine what storm events did, or did not, trigger a flow response. After over two years of stream channel monitoring, one precipitation event with a total depth of …

The role of coastal defence structures in channeling production in coastal ecosystems
… and temporally stratitified approach of time-lapse photography of macroalgae<br/>deposition, verified with field observations. Field surveys determined the associated ecological<br/>assemblages of the sediment infauna and rocky shore epifauna associated with the breakwater<br/>scheme, as …

The Effect of "Casitas" on Lobster Biology and Fishery Sustainability in the Bahamas
… density of casitas.</p> <p>Using tethering and time-lapse photography, I compared predation on lobsters at casitas and natural locations. I also compared the growth, frequency of injury, and prevalence of disease of lobsters collected from casitas and traps, as well as lobster size structure and …

Public realm usage patterns : lessons from Shenzhen's disappearing urban villages
… of rapid Chinese urbanization. For a period of time, both the city and villages mutually benefited from the arrangement where rural-designated urban villages used their unrestricted developmental rights to create an alternative affordable housing option for low cost workers. Recently, as land …

Cow performance, adrenal function, and milk quality under varying levels of competition
… Cow behavior and locations were quantified by time-lapse photography at I-minute intervals during the last 3-days of each treatment. Spatial recommendations for dairy cattle can be greatly reduced. Behavior was altered only when less than .67 free stalls or .2 m of linear trough was available …

Locomotor biomechanics and behaviour in the ocellate river stingray
… burying. Chapter 5 describes studies that used time-lapse photography and video analysis to reveal that in the presence of sediments that differ in grain size, stingrays mostly choose to inhabit and bury in finer grained sediments when threatened, and this appears to reflect these fishes being …

D4AR-4 dimensional augmented reality-models for automation and interactive visualization of construction progress monitoring
… due to extensive workload, observations are sometimes conducted infrequently and progress is measured with non-systematic metrics; and (3) current reporting techniques are visually complex which requires more time to be spent on communicating the status of a project. There is a need for a …
