, 2021 A blend of two Taylor series for the same smooth real- or complex-valued function of a single variable can be useful for approximation. We use an explicit formula for a two-point Hermite interpolational polynomial to construct such blends. We show a robust Maple implementation that can stably and efficiently evaluate blends using linear-cost Horner ...

Emission characterization of diesel engine run on coconut oil biodiesel its blends and diesel
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016 The use of biodiesel in running diesel has been called for, with a view to mitigating the environmental pollution, depletion, cost and scarcity associated with the use diesel in running diesel engine. So the need to characterize the emissions from these

ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2014 We present a method for smoothly blending between existing liquid animations. We introduce a semi-automatic method for matching two existing liquid animations, which we use to create new fluid motion that plausibly interpolates the input. Our contributions include a new space-time non-rigid iterative closest point algorithm that incorporates user ...
