 11.4 Computing the Volume Element: the Jacobian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In any coordinate system, in computing an integral over a volume, you break the volume up into little pieces, and sum the value of the integrand at a point in each piece, times the volume of the piece.
The volume we want is the volume in the small parallelopiped determined by these vectors.
But we know the volume in a parallelopiped determined by three vectors: it is the magnitude of the determinant having them as rows.

 USC File # 2254 - Volume Holographic Element
In this patent, novel multiplexed volume holographic optical elements are disclosed that exhibit high optical throughput and low crosstalk even under conditions of high diffraction efficiency and dense holographic multiplexing.
This type of holographic element is unusual in that the stored holographic patterns produce a double angularly multiplexed array of output beams, in the sense that each stored pattern is read out at a different angle of incidence, and also produces a different angle of emergence.
This feature eliminates a common cause of pattern-to-pattern crosstalk known as beam degeneracy crosstalk, which is capable of causing very large errors in the process of reading out a given pattern (in the high diffraction efficiency regime), based on the presence of other stored patterns within the hologram.

 SolidMesh: Volume Grid Generation Application
AFLR3 generates a tetrahedral isotropic volume grid or a mixed element (tetrahedra, pentahedra and prisms) anisotropic boundary layer volume grid from a surface triangulation.
The volume element size in the field is determined by using interpolation to smoothly propagate the point spacing within the field from the boundary surfaces.
With optional growth, the element size is determined from interpolation and geometric growth normal to the boundary surfaces.

The integrand is the integrand itself, which is a scalar field, and the volume element is dxdydz.
In this case as in the volume case, the problem of reducing the surface integral to integrals dxdy does not exist.
In the case of area, the comparable expression is the same thing: the ratio of the area element in one set of variables dxdy to the other, dudv, is the magnitude of the determinant formed by the derivatives of x and y with respect to u and v.

 Diffusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As we add more compound to a volume element in time, the system must respond in a manner consistent with Fick's first law; the concentration gradient that builds with time must be relieved by an increase in diffusion.
The physical interpretation of this expression is that the more a compound is added to a volume element, the greater the amount of diffusion of the compound from the volume element.
An alternative way to view the partial specific volume is that it is equal to the volume of the macromolecule divided by the mass of the molecule.

You just want to know the volume element, that is, the determinant of the appropriate Jacobian to use in the Change-of-Variables theorem (your "g").
Well, on the one hand, this is just a scaling by c, whose effect on M(n,p) is to multiply volume by c^(n*p).
So I believe the correct volume element is dX = (detR)^((2n-p-1)/2) dR dT = (det R'R)^((2n-p-1)/4) dR dT = (det X'X)^((2n-p-1)/4) dR dT according to taste.

 Error Estimates for a Combined Finite Volume--Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Convection--Diffusion Problems
The subject of this paper is the analysis of error estimates of the combined finite volume--finite element (FV--FE) method for the numerical solution of a scalar nonlinear conservation law equation with a diffusion term.
Nonlinear convective terms are approximated with the aid of a monotone finite volume scheme considered over the finite volume mesh dual to a triangular grid, whereas the diffusion term is discretized by piecewise linear conforming triangular finite elements.
Under the assumption that the exact solution possesses some regularity properties and the triangulations are of a weakly acute type, with the aid of the discrete maximum principle and a priori estimates, error estimates of the method are proved.

 FAST RAY TRACKING THROUGH UNIFORM VOLUME ELEMENTS AS APPLIED TO BORON NEUTRON CAPTURE THERAPY
Here, each uniform volume element has the same length, width, and height but the shape is not necessarily a cube.
The algorithm investigating representative elements will increase whichever component it arbitrarily decided was changing most rapidly and at the same time see that it must also correspondingly increase each of the other two components.
A typical 1 mm resolution is already quite fine and so skipping such a tiny volume element is not substantial, especially considering that the original segmentation of the images cannot be expected to be accurate to the original pixel level.

 On the Accuracy of the Finite Volume Element Method Based on Piecewise Linear Polynomials
On the Accuracy of the Finite Volume Element Method Based on Piecewise Linear Polynomials: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis Vol.
We present a general error estimation framework for a finite volume element (FVE) method based on linear polynomials for solving second-order elliptic boundary value problems.
This framework treats the FVE method as a perturbation of the Galerkin finite element method and reveals that regularities in both the exact solution and the source term can affect the accuracy of FVE methods.

 Size of a Representative Volume Element in a Second-Order Computational Homogenization Framework - Begell House Inc.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In this paper the intrinsic role of the size of the microstructural representative volume element (RVE) in a second-order computational homogenization is investigated.
The presented second-order computational homogenization is an extension of the classical first-order computational homogenization scheme and is based on a proper incorporation of the macroscopic gradient of the deformation tensor and the associated higher-order stress measure into the multiscale framework.
Based on the obtained results, some conclusions are drawn with respect to the choice of the microstructural RVE in the second-order computational homogenization analysis.

 SINUM Volume 27 Issue 3
This paper develops the finite volume element (FVE) method, which is similar to the so-called control volume finite element method but tailored to composite grid applications.
FVE is described for the general two-dimensional diffusion equation in divergence form; $O(h^{{3 / 2}})$ discretization error estimates are then developed for the case of triangular elements.
These results are improved to $O(h^2)$ using a special modification involving rectilinear elements at the grid interface.

To find the moment of inertia about the y-axis, we need to choose another volume element dv such that the distance from the y-axis to any point in dv will be the same.
From physics we know that the work needed to lift a particle by a vertical distance h is mgh, which is the increase in potential energy.
Then, the element of volume should be chosen such that all the points in the element are at the same height.
