Oil in 4-D: time-lapse software boosts oil recovery

Article Abstract:

The development of the Lamont-Doherty 4-D Software has enabled geoscientists to assume drainage with various drill placements and find bypassed reserves through observance of oil and gas flows over time. The 4-D images are obtained from low-frequency sound waves.

Animating human motion

Article Abstract:

The use of simulation in computer animation is a far superior technique than keyframing and motion capture since the movement of the subject is more fluid and natural. One constraint in simulation is the huge algorithm demand of a single bodypart to be simulated.

Visualizing biological molecules

Article Abstract:

Computer graphics of simulated molecules help biochemists and molecular biologists study the complex molecules that cells build. For example, computer graphics allow scientists to 'see' how antibodies find foreign molecules.
