Abstract:

Over the years, gaming has developed rapidly from simple pixel-based experiences to fully blown three-dimensional worlds. As developing technologies improve, so does the complexity and flexibility of what can be created. Encounters, along with all aspects of any gaming experience, have evolved along with the technologies that create them. These intense combat instances, often times referred to as “bosses”, represent a chance for the developer to challenge player skill, cooperation, and coordination. In addition to being major challenges, encounters also allow players to feel a sense of progres

Abstract:

<p>The Explanation Hypothesis is a psychological hypothesis about how people attribute moral responsibility. The hypothesis makes general claims about everyday thinking of moral responsibility and is also said to have important consequences for related philosophical issues. Since arguments in favor of the hypothesis are largely based on a number of intuitive cases, there is need to investigate whether it is supported by empirical evidence. In this study, the hypothesis was tested by means of quantitative experimental methods. The data were collected by conducting online surveys in which partic

The purposes of this study are to investigate the possible effects of variables like testing depth, length to diameter ratio of the probe, presence of disturbed annulus around the borehole etc. on the derived parameters from the pressuremeter test, and to develop possible alternative methods for the determination of undrained shear strength of cohesive soils, and cohesion and internal friction angle of intermediate geomaterials. For this purpose numerical simulations of pressuremeter test were performed. In the study, it is also aimed to investigate the effect of rock quality designation (RQD)

The estimation of the compressibility of normally and overconsolidated granular soils was the main aim of the research. A model screw plate instrument was designed and developed and various plate geometries and plate advancement mechanisms were studied with a view to assessing soil disturbance during installation. Screw plate loading tests were conducted by means of a plate 50 mm in diameter 3 mm thick and 5 mm pitch. All the tests were conducted in a calibration chamber under stress controlled conditions on normally and overconsolidated saturated Leighton Buzzard sand along Ko and isotropic s

Langmuir Circulation is a common phenomenon driven by wind in oceans and lakes and was first studied by Langmuir in 1927. According to various ocean observations, this kind of phenomenon plays an important role in many phenomena such as the aggregation of bubbles, the distribution of plankton as well as the mixing of spilled oil and sediment in the ocean. To study this, an experimental facility has been developed in the lab which creates a small scale version of Langmuir Circulation.

Abstract:

Most sedimentary deposits are inherently anisotropic due to their natural deposition in horizontal layers. This inherent anisotropy highlights the fact that the response of soils to loading is depending on both stress magnitude and its direction. Most of the field problems in geotechnical engineering are three-dimensional, and a soil is more likely to subject an anisotropic stress state (σ1 ≠ σ2 ≠ σ3), together with rotation of the principal axes. It is therefore essential that the soil behaviour under such realistic and general loading conditions is to be well understood, so that engineers ca

The presence of delay-inducing defects is causing increasing concern in the semiconductor industry today. To test for such delay-inducing defects, scan-based transition fault testing techniques are being implemented. There exist organized techniques to generate test patterns for the transition fault model and the two popular methods being used are Broad-side delay test (Launch-from-capture) and Skewed load delay test (Launch-from-shift). Each method has its own drawbacks and many practical issues are associated with pattern generation and application. Our work focuses on the implementation and

Much research has been performed in the arena of testing of various FRP's bonded to both concrete and masonry substrates, the majority of which focusing on three areas; flexural strengthening, in-plane shear strengthening, and mechanical anchoring.

The largest part of an ice ridge consists of unconsolidated ice rubble, whose material properties decide the load from ridges on ships and structures. Material resistance is attributed to the initial freeze-bonds and the friction and interlocking between blocks. The objective of the thesis was to investigate rubble behaviour by two tests: shear box test at NTNU and pile test at HSVA. The shear box test was aimed at investigating freeze-bond mechanisms in rubble. The pile test was aimed at suggesting values for rubble properties for a model scale experiment.The shear box had dimensions 600 mm x

Abstract:

Ageing reduces fitness, but how ageing evolves is still unclear. Evolutionary theory of ageing hinges on the fundamental principal that the force of natural selection declines with age. This principle has yielded two important predictions: 1) the evolution of faster ageing in populations under high rate of extrinsic mortality; and 2) the evolution of faster ageing in a sex that experiences higher rates of extrinsic mortality. However, an emerging new theory argues that when the extrinsic mortality is not random but instead selects on traits showing positive genetic correlation with lifespan, i

Abstract:

The dynamic properties of Leighton Buzzard sand have been investigated using a resonant column test apparatus. These data are compared with very low frequency cyclic tests on identical specimens. The comparison indicates that the properties of dry sand are independent of frequency, while those of fluid saturated sand are sensitive to the viscosity of the fluid and therefore to the frequency of oscillations. A one-dimensional model of kinematic hardening plasticity is used to predict the dynamic behaviour of the sand. The input parameters for this model are based on the results of static tests.

The new wind tunnel test section, using the opposite effects of solid and open boundaries, is a new approach to reduce wall blockage effects. Consisting of vertical airfoil slats uniformly spaced on both side walls in the test section, it is designed to produce a nearly free-air test environment for the test model, which leads to negligible or small corrections

Therefore, it is essential to understand the non-coaxial soil behaviour better and take it into account in the numerical modelling.
