Detwinning through migration of twin boundaries in nanotwinned Cu films under in situ ion irradiation

The mechanism of radiation-induced detwinning is different from that of deformation detwinning as the former is dominated by supersaturated radiation-induced defects while the latter is usually triggered by global stress. In situ Kr ion irradiation was performed to study the detwinning mechanism of nanotwinned Cu films with various twin thicknesses. Two types of incoherent twin boundaries (ITBs), so-called fixed ITBs and free ITBs, are characterized based on their structural features, and the difference in their migration behavior is investigated. It is observed that detwinning during radiation is attributed to the frequent migration of free ITBs, while the migration of fixed ITBs is absent. Statistics shows that the migration distance of free ITBs is thickness and dose dependent. Potential migration mechanisms are discussed.     

Experimental study on fitness of one-piece casting osseointegrated implant frameworks with relation to fixture abutment positions

An experiment on fitness of one-piece casting osseointegrated implant frameworks was performed among three fixture abument positions where other conditions were controlled. The result revealed that there was statistically significant differences in dimensional change among the three fixture abument positions. In terms of the relation between abument position and fitness, the more backward the abument position was, the worse the osseointegrated framework fitness was. The frameworks showed deformations in "arch form" and "warp" in three dimensions.     

Theory and techniques of data mining in CGF behavior modeling

For the large quantity of data,rules and models generated in the course of computer generated forces (CGFs) behavior modeling,the common analytical methods are statistical methods based on the tactical rules,tactical doctrine and empirical knowledge.However,from the viewpoint of data mining,we can find many of these analytical methods are also each-and-every different data mining methods.In this paper,we survey the data mining theory and techniques that have appeared in the course of CGF behavior modeling f...

Real-time foveation filtering using nonlinear Mipmap interpolation

In recent years, several techniques have been proposed to simulate the gaze effect of the Human Visual System (HVS). It is believed that this effect is due to the foveation filtering. Current techniques to simulate the foveation filtering in computer graphics are either slow or suffer from artifacts and limitations. In this paper, we present a new approach of foveation filtering based on the Mipmap Pyramid of the current view by considering the relationship between the Gaussian kernel and Mipmap level. Due to the nonlinear Mipmap interpolation under the Bilateral Filtering scheme, we are able to simulate the foveation filtering more naturally and efficiently than in previous work. Moreover, a detail enhancement method based on the Cornsweet illusion is proposed to augment the gazing effect. We demonstrate our new approach with a variety of examples and provide comparisons with recent approaches.     

Direct raycasting of unstructured cell-centered data by discontinuity Roe-average computation

In the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the upwind finite volume method (FVM) is widely applied to solve 3D flows with discontinuity phenomena (e.g., shock waves). It produces unstructured data at the center of each cell (cell-centered data) with the flow discontinuity constraint on the inner-face between face-neighboring cells. For visualization, existing approaches with interpolation usually pre-extrapolate cell-centered data into cell-vertexed data (data values given at cell vertices) and only handle cell-vertexed data during actual rendering, which unconsciously depress the rendering accuracy and violate the discontinuity constraint. In this paper, we propose a novel method to visualize cell-centered data directly avoiding extrapolation and keep the discontinuity in the rendering data on the framework of multi-pass raycasting. During resampling, the field is reconstructed using the original cell-centered data value and the cell-gradient estimated by Green–Gauss theorem. To keep the discontinuity, we reconstruct the field at an inner-face resampled point using both the face-adjacencies and get two discontinuous field values. Then the field is obtained by computing Roe-average of the two. The analysis and experiments demonstrate that our approach gains a high-accuracy reconstruction and leads to a high-quality image.     

Will the experience of playing a violent role in a video game influence people’s judgments of violent crimes?

The present study investigates the impact of the experience of role playing a violent character in a video game on attitudes towards violent crimes and criminals. People who played the violent game were found to be more acceptable of crimes and criminals compared to people who did not play the violent game. More importantly, interaction effects were found such that people were more acceptable of crimes and criminals outside the game if the criminals were matched with the role they played in the game and the criminal actions were similar to the activities they perpetrated during the game. The results indicate that people’s virtual experience through role-playing games can influence their attitudes and judgments of similar real-life crimes, especially if the crimes are similar to what they conducted while playing games. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
