 GameDev.net - Defeating Lag With Cubic Splines
Cubic splines are a kind of dead reckoning that creates a smooth transition between two data points.
Using cubic splines to create a path is a matter of simple algebraic equations.
While creating cubic splines is easy, actually implementing them introduces several problems that must be left to the reader to explore on his own.

 Cubic Zirconia
Cubic Zirconia is well known as a substitute for diamond, due to its high hardness and great fire.
Cubic Zirconia is a cubic form of zirconium oxide that is created in a laboratory, thus it is not a mineral.
Cubic Zirconia is an oxide of the metallic element zirconium, ZrO 2.

 Cubic Zirconia Pendant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
Cubic zirconia is, as its name would imply, crystallographically isometric, and as diamond is also isometric, this is an important attribute of a would-be diamond simulant.
The stabilizer is required for cubic crystal formation; it may be typically either yttrium or calcium oxide, the amount and stabilizer used depending on the many recipes of individual manufacturers.
Its cubic crystalline form, called 'cubic zirconia', is rarely, if ever, found in nature, but is made in various colours for sale as a gemstone.

 Cubic surfaces
Other results on cubic surfaces were proved by Clebsch which included: there exists a covariant of order nine which intersects the cubic surface in exactly 27 lines; and every smooth cubic surface can be represented in the plane using four plane cubic surfaces through six points and vice-versa.
He divided cubic surfaces into 23 species according to the nature of their singularities in 1863 and he published the classification in his paper On the distribution of surfaces of the third order into species, in reference to the presence or absence of singular points and the reality of their lines.
Starting from the construction of a cubic surface given by a straight line, three groups of three points on a line, and six other points, Le Paige was led to the construction of a cubic surface given by a line, three points on a line and twelve other points.

 Crystallographic Topology - Cubic Groups
The 36 cubic crystallographic space groups are different from the remaining 194 space groups in that they each have body diagonal 3-fold axes arising from their tetrahedral and octahedral point groups.
The seven rhombohedral trigonal subgroups of the cubic groups are shown in the bottom row of the figure with their space group symbols and simplest lattice complex in the top row of each box.
The divider strip between the cubic and rhombohedral groups gives the point groups for all the groups involved in each column, with the cubic/orthorhombic (or tetragonal) to the left and the rhombohedral/monoclinic (or triclinic) to the right.

 CUBIC status
The CUBIC (Cosmic Unresolved Background Instrument using CCDs) experiment was fabricated in the Penn State High Energy Astrophysics Laboratory for flight on the US/Argentine SAC-B minisat.
CUBIC hardware fabrication was completed in autumn 1994, in parallel with the preliminary calibration of the X-ray detection elements (EEV-supplied charge-coupled devices (CCDs)).
In February 1995, CUBIC was hand-carried to INVAP (the Argentine spacecraft contractor), in Bariloche, Argentina where it was electrically and mechanically integrated into the SAC-B payload.

 Cubic Crystal Structures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
The simplest crystal conceptually is the so--called simple cubic structure, where the atoms lie on a grid: layers of rows and columns.
Simple cubic crystals are rather rare, but many crystals form body-centered-cubic or face-centered-cubic structures, which can be viewed as simple cubic grids with an extra atom at the center of each cube or each face of a cube, respectively.
Body--centered cubic (bcc) packings of atoms tend to be most stable near the melting point because the atoms have room to vibrate (important at high temperatures): face--centered cubic (fcc) crystals are common among metals at low temperatures because the atoms pack well.

 Gordon Royle's Cubic Graphs
The cubic graphs on up to 20 vertices, together with some smaller families of high girth cubic graphs on higher numbers of vertices are available.
The really important part of this definition is that the graph has chromatic index 4; the statement that all cubic graphs of chromatic index 4 are non-planar is equivalent to the four-colour theorem, and hence a planar snark (a boojum) would be a counterexample to the four-colour theorem.
Gunnar Brinkmann's cubic graph generation program was used to construct snarks of all orders up to 28.

CUBIC would have provided a wealth of information on the thermal state of the hot gas in the ISM, producing a similar revolution in our understanding of this important component of our galaxy to that produced by ASCA spectra of supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei, and other objects.
The consensus is that the spacecraft is occasionally obtaining enough power from its solar panels to turn on briefly, but that the average power received is less than the minimum spacecraft power consumption because of the incorrect attitude and shading of the solar panels by the Pegasus 3rd stage.
The entire CUBIC instrument was built in our lab by scientists, engineers, technicians, and graduate students of the Penn State X-ray astronomy group over a period of about 4 years for a budget of just over $2 million.

 Converting BF to cubic feet
That sounds right to me. There are 144 cubic inches of wood in a board foot (12x12x1), and 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot (12x12x12) so 144 divided by 1728 gives you a conversion factor of 0.083333, or 1 over 12.
When looking at the comparison of International to cubic foot volume, a 10" log will give 6.11 bd ft/cu ft. A 20" log will yield 7.53 bd ft/cu ft. In logs, there is no simple relationship where a certain factor can be used to convert from one scale to the other.
For softwoods, you get about 18 bd ft per cubic foot, because 8/4 is not 2 inches, but is much less (1.5 inches after drying and planing), and 6 inches wide is about 5.5 inches (after drying and planing).
