School Board Elections in England and Wales, 1870–1902: An Electoral Experiment?
History, EarlyView.Abstract The 1870 Elementary Education Act enabled the creation of school boards in England and Wales. Members were directly elected by the cumulative vote. This method gave each individual voter as many votes as there were seats on a school board, in some cases up to fifteen.

Tool path optimization of globoidal cam flank milling based on spatial linear-regression analysis
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2019 In order to tackle the incongruous error of the normal vector of globoidal cam in non-equal diameter machining, the tool axis vector with minimum machining error is preliminarily fitted through the principle of ruled surface generation by using spatial ...

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

Basis Networks: Learning basis functions for free‐form triangulations
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a framework for learning compactly supported basis functions that define tangent continuous surfaces based on coarse irregular triangle meshes. The basis functions are represented as MLPs. Smoothness of the basis functions is achieved by using the values of Loop basis functions as the parameterization of the surface.

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

A locking-free quadratic nurbs-based isogeometric formulation for plates analysis
Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science - Engineering and Technology, 2012 A new Reissner-Mindlin plate formulation based on a quadratic NURBS-based isogeometric is presented. In order to avoid the transverse shear locking and to improve the accuracy of the present formulation, the quadratic NURBS-based isogeometric is ...
