On the influence of imaging conditions and algorithms on the quantification of surface topography.

چکیده
The influence of the microscopical magnification resulting in different voxel size and shape and of the algorithm on parameters used for the quantification of the surface topography is studied using topographical images obtained by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Fracture surfaces and wire-eroded surfaces of steel were used as samples. The values obtained for the global topometry parameters normalized surface area, mean profile segment length and fractal dimension depend with different degrees on the microscopic magnification and on the algorithm used to compute these values. The topometry values can only be used to establish correlations between the topography and materials properties and for the modelling of surface generating processes if the imaging and computing details are given.

The influence of using different reconstruction algorithms on sensitivity of quantitative 18F-FDG-PET volumetric measures to background activity variation
Introduction: This study aims to investigate the influence of background activity variation on image quantification in differently reconstructed PET/CT images. Methods: Measurements were performed on a Discovery-690 PET/CT scanner using a custom-built NEMA-like phantom. A background activity level of 5.3 and 2.6 kBq/ml 18F-FDG were applied. Ima...
متن کاملThe role of topography on the simulation of Sistan wind structure in the east of Iranian Plateau
In this study, the interaction between atmosphere and earth surface and its effect on the simulation of Sistan wind structure in the East of Iranian plateau is investigated. For this purpose, four experiments have been carried out with RegCM4, with horizontal resolution of 20 km. In non-topography experiments, the model was implemented in three different conditions. The results indicated that t...
متن کاملMeasurement of long-term denudation rates in carbonate landscapes using in situ-produced 36Cl cosmogenic nuclide
ecent progresses have been made in the quantification of denudation of eroding landscapes and its links with topography. Despite these advances, data is still sparse in carbonate terrain, which covers a significant part of the Earth’s surface. We can now measure in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclides concentrations in various near-surface materials, allowing accurate quantification of the rates o...
متن کاملGeological controlling soil organic carbon and nitrogen density in a hillslope landscape, semiarid area of Golestan province, Iran
The effects of geological conditionwere assessed on density of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and Nitrogen (N)in a sequence of hillslope landscape, derived from different lithology i.e. loess deposit, reworked loess, marl with mixed siltstone and shale, reddish brown clay deposits and older loess in the semiarid area of northern Iran. However, other factors can influence SOC and N density such as la...
متن کاملApplication of Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Mode Microscopy on inscription from Proto-Elamite period in Tappeh Sofalin
The study of cultural heritage artifacts and the research of a protection and restoration intervention create with - and are often limited to - a complete characterization of their surface. This is not only factual for museum objects, but also for archaeological artifacts, because the object as it was discovered may contain precious unknown information that could be lost by too much aggressive ...
