Design of a zooming viewer for statecharts
… may be collapsed or expanded depending on the zooming level. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to design and implement a 'zooming' viewer for statecharts. This goal is to provide the architect or system analyst with an easy and intuitive way to navigate a large statechart diagram. In so doing, …

Zooming in on quasar accretion disks using chromatic microlensing
Observing the temperature profiles of accretion disks around black holes is a fundamental test of an important astrophysical process. However, angular resolution limitations have prevented such a measurement for distant quasars. We present a new method for determining the size of quasar accretion …

Zooming in on human-wildlife coexistence: primate community responses in a shared agroforest landscape in Guinea-Bissau
In this thesis I explore how humans and nonhuman primates, including chimpanzees, share the space in a coastal forest-agriculture-village landscape mosaic at Cantanhez National Park (NP), southern Guinea-Bissau (West Africa). I integrate data from arboreal and terrestrial camera traps with habitat …

Finite element analysis of subregions using a specified boundary stiffness/force method
… the SBSF method and the efficient and exact zooming methods demonstrate that the SBSF method is less accurate than these methods but is computationally more efficient. In one example, the error for the exact zooming method was -0.9% while for the SBSF method it was -3.7%. Computationally, the …

Robust motion estimation techniques
… motion. Global motion includes camera rotation, zooming, and changes in camera location and perspectives. In this thesis, we study different robust motion estimation techniques, such as block matching, motion intensity profile technique, and global motion estimation. Block matching has been …

Smooth Interactive Visualization
… has finished. The smooth and efficient zooming and panning technique also shares this problem---the animations produced are smooth while in-flight, but they have velocity discontinuities at the beginning and end and of the animation as well as velocity discontinuities when interrupted. …

Beyond the Bezel: Utilizing Multiple Monitor High-Resolution Displays for Viewing Geospatial Data
… With this viewing window limitation, panning and zooming are required to view the full details of a map or image and, because of the large sizes of typical database, usually only in small portions. Multiple monitor configurations provide an attainable, low cost way for individuals to create large, …

The clearest mirror : the science of laughing and crying
… connected in any biologically relevant way. But zooming out of narrow scientific definitions, digging into our evolutionary history, focusing on the disorders of laughing and crying, looking to the stage where actors and actresses come alive through their tears, there emerges a puzzle of …

Autonomous hierarchical adaptive mesh refinement for multiscale simulations
… encompassing the entire domain, or as a means of zooming in on a subdomain of interest. However, this AMR strategy is both subtle and cumbersome to code, and its data requirements are difficult to manage in a general way. To address this shortcoming, the Hierarchical Adaptive Mesh Refinement …

A graphical environment for gestural computer-aided composition
… its use of freely drawn line-gestures, zooming navigation, and simple symbolic icons, that helps make this program unique. The program was designed to enable musically untrained children, ages ten or older, to compose three-minute pieces for a string orchestra, given only a week or so of …

Collective spaces : a study in the conversion of storage to living spaces in City of Industry, California
… to spaces for housing activities of production. Zooming in on site, City of Industry, in Los Angeles, California, an island of warehouse typologies was found in the midst of diverse residential neighborhoods facing increasing housing pressures. Furthermore, mappings of "big box" warehouse spaces …

Applying Information Visualization Techniques to Visual Debugging
… information visualization techniques such as zooming, focus and context, or graphical representation of numeric data may enhance the visual debugging experience. To this end, drawing data structures as graphs is potentially a step in the right direction, but more must be done to maximize the …
