Using a simple linear blend of functions of the given polynomial system, a function is sought after to be no-root contributing, with all control points of its Bernstein Bézier representation of the same sign.
According to Jacobs, the other necessary conditions are a small size for each city block, the coexistence of buildings of different periods, quality and conditions, and a healthy blend of functions and amenities.
These equations are defined by a stiffness matrix that is formulated in terms of the blending functions of a parametric surface and a force vector that is associated with the user-defined constraints.
The blending functions can be obtained using recursion as follows [ 22]: (17) (18) When p=4, we obtained the blending function of cubic splines.
Around the same time Microsoft paid $425 million for WebTV in another failed attempt to blend the functions of personal computers and televisions.
He also remarked that Britain's tradition of blending craftsmanship and function made it a perfect place to install his cycle highway.
The fuzzy Lyapunov function is defined as a fuzzy blending of quadratic Lyapunov functions.
The buzz: "An exothermic blend of funky functions, dubstep futurism and studied house classicism that touches on everyone from Carl Craig to Todd Edwards". The truth: Exothermic means "releasing energy in the form of heat (and light)." Yup, this stuff's exothermic, alright.
These relations were combined to develop a simple mixture viscosity model to predict the viscosity of the vegetable oil diesel blends as functions of temperature and composition based on properties of the pure components.
A blending function controls the influence of each initial shape.
In all cases mentioned above, sex pheromones were characterised or presumed to be a blend of compounds functioning synergistically to attract males and elicit mating behaviour, and could contain both fertility-linked compounds as well as compounds which were produced mainly by virgin females.
