The Lindenmayer-system formalism is extended to model the hybridization of plant forms. Several algorithms are developed and tested. Pictures illustrating these algorithms are generated by using computer graphics. The preliminary results suggest that the proposed new approach may be useful for combining fractals that are generated iteratively.

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

In this paper, the main concepts and the preliminary results related to a new approach for creating innovative green laboratory experiences in applied science and technology will be discussed. The term ebatronics is here introduced for the first time in the literature to indicate a kind of experimental laboratory based on the conjunction of wooden recycled materials and microcontroller based devices. In particular, tensegrity based systems are presented. A gallery of prototypes developed by the authors is shown. An intense set of photos will illustrate the real effectiveness of the proposed laboratory project.

Various approaches for generating woodgrain patterns using computer graphics have been proposed so far. However, it is difficult to reproduce real woodgrain patterns using such conventional methods. In this paper, a new approach for generating woodgrain patterns is proposed. Virtual trees are generated by simulating tree growth in consideration of environmental conditions. Moreover, fine tree tissues and reflection properties at the wood surface are modeled. By applying these modeled factors, more diverse and accurate woodgrain patterns can be generated. With this approach, various types of virtual trees can be obtained by changing growth conditions such as period and location of growth or form of tissue in trees without the need to reset complicated parameters of each tree species. After this, the virtual trees can be cut at arbitrary areas, thus allowing a variety of woodgrain patterns to be generated by easy parameter setup.

Our group is developing a new project-centered “Freshman Engineering Graphics and Design” course. The project-centered approach emphasizes a desire for individual learning, teamwork, and communication abilities using modern computer graphics tools. The modular graphics and design curriculum emphasizes the development of a 3-D geometric computer model and application of this digital database to design analysis, simulation, prototyping, and documentation. The students work as a team to dissect a common mechanical assembly. They measure the parts, make hand sketches, build computer models, perform various analyses, and make rapid prototypes of their assembly. At the conclusion of this integrated graphics and design project, the team assembles a final report. This paper presents some preliminary results in implementing these new course objectives in the Spring 2002 semester.
