Are Manufactures Unstable Internationally?

AVI of Surface Flaws on Manufactures II

INTRODUCTION Automatic visual inspection takes a relevant place in defect detection of industrial production. In this field a fundamental role is played by methods for the detection of superficial anomalies on manufactures. In particular, several systems have been proposed in order to reduce the burden of human operators, avoiding the drawbacks due to the subjectivity of judgement criteria (Kwa...

Internationally Correlated

Stock returns are characterized by extreme observations, jumps that would not occur under the smooth variation typical of a Gaussian process. We find that jumps are prevalent in most countries. This has been noticed before in some countries, but there has been little investigation of whether the jumps are internationally correlated. Their possible inter-correlation is important for investors be...

AVI of Surface Flaws on Manufactures I

INTRODUCTION The defect detection on manufactures is of utmost importance in the optimization of industrial processes (Garcia 2005). In fact, the industrial inspection of engineering materials and products tends to the detection , localization and classification of flaws as quickly and as accurately as possible in order to improve the production quality. In this field a relevant area is constit...

How Unstable Are Fundamental Quantum Supermembranes?

1 Quantum Supermembranes String duality, pioneered by Kikkawa and Yamasaki, represents an enormous advance in our understanding of string physics. For the first time, we can peer into the non-perturbative region of certain string theories and settle questions which have dogged the field since its very inception. In particular, solitonic p-branes are necessary to complete our understanding of BP...
