Quantitative Description of Local Breaking-Wave Shapes

Textual description of shapes

– Part-based methods where silhouette is decomposed into parts. Different criterions have been proposed: limb and neck [32], optimization of the convexity of all parts [27] and morphology criteria [21, 26]. In [36] shape is decomposed into union of meaningful convex subparts by a recursive scheme. The shape of each subpart is approximated by a morphological dilatation of basic structuring eleme...

Quantitative cellular description of gastric slow wave activity.

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are responsible for the spontaneous and omnipresent electrical activity in the stomach. A quantitative description of the intracellular processes whose coordinated activity is believed to generate electrical slow waves has been developed and is presented here. In line with recent experimental evidence, the model describes how the interplay between the mitochond...

Application of Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Inference System in Prediction of Breaking Wave Characteristics

Wave height as well as water depth at the breaking point are two basic parameters which are necessary for studying coastal processes. In this study, the application of soft computing-based methods such as artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and semi-empirical models for prediction of these parameters are investigated. Th...
