A new algorithm for global forest fire detection using multispectral images
(The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE), 2003-09)
Fire detection has been an active research field for many years and a number of algorithms have been proposed.
These algorithms, however, are often inflexible in dealing with the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of ...
Electrophoretic deposition of monochrome and color phosphor screens for information displays
(Springer Netherlands - Journal of Materials Science, 2004)
This paper reviews our research on the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of phosphors for
the processing of monochromatic and color screens for information displays. Our
investigation began with the study of the fundamentals ...
Clustering approach to bone and soft tissue segmentation of digital radiographic images of extremities
(International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE), 2003-01)
We present an algorithm for segmentation of computed radiography (CR) images of extremities into bone and soft tissue regions. The algorithm is region-based in which the regions are constructed using a region-growing ...
BIMA millimeter-wave observations of the core-jet and molecular gas in the FR I radio galaxy NGC 3801
(Astrophysical Journal, 2005-08-20)
We present BIMA 3 mm observations of the radio continuum source and the
molecular gas disk in the radio loud Fanaroff & Riley Type I (FR I) galaxy NGC
3801. We have detected a continuum source in the nucleus and determined ...
Single wall carbon nanotube-Nafion composite actuators
(The American Chemical Society: Nano Letters, 2002-11)
Single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT)-Nafion composite actuators have been demonstrated for 0.1-18% w/w doping of purified SWNTs within the polymer matrix. The high purity SWNTs, >95% w/w, were homogeneously dispersed into ...
Integrating the determinants of suction feeding performance in centrarchid fishes
(Company of Biologists, 2008-10-07)
When suction-feeding vertebrates expand their buccal cavity to draw water into their mouth, they also exert a hydrodynamic force
on their prey. This force is key to strike success, directly countering forces exerted by ...
A Hybrid N-Body Code incorporating algorithmic regularization and Post-Newtonian forces
(Wiley InterScience: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008-07-24)
We describe a novel N-body code designed for simulations of the central regions of
galaxies containing massive black holes. The code incorporates Mikkola’s “algorithmic”
chain regularization scheme including post-Newtonian ...
Contact angles and interface behavior during rapid evaporation of liquid on a heated surface
(Elsveier, 2002-02-16)
Photographic observations of the boiling phenomena have played an important role in gaining insight into the
boiling mechanism. This paper presents a brief historical review of the available literature on the photographic ...
The six faces model: Technology management in the effective implementation of change
(World scientific, 2005)
Organizational fitness is often achieved by making changes in business operations. These
changes frequently involve the use of a new technology. The effective implementation
of change is aided by examining the benefits ...
Using simulation software to solve engineering economy problems
(Elsevier, 2003)
Some information required for solving problems in engineering economy problems can be fairly well defined.
Much required information is uncertain, such as the actual cash flows from revenues and costs, the salvage value ...
