Wepresent a refinement of the wavelet analysis technique for the detection and characterisation of small scale features embedded in a strongly varying background. This technique handles with particular care the side effects of nonorthogonality in the wavelet space which can cause spurious detections and lead to a biased estimate of source parameters. This novel technique is applied to two ROSAT...

SUMMARY c The concept that creep response is the result of a transient approach to a minimum strain rate continuously modified by accumulating damage has been investigated using high precision creep data. It was considered that the accumulated creep strain might be some measure of internal damage and curves of log creep strain rate against creep strain are shown to exhibit linearity at higher s...
