We propose two new models for view-independent face recognition, which lies under the category of multiview approaches. We use the so-called “mixture of experts” (MOE) in which, the problem space is divided into several subspaces for the experts, and then the outputs of experts are combined by a gating network to form the final output. Basically, our focus is on the way that the face space is p...

Many atmospheric and chemical variables influence the partitioning equilibrium between gas phase and condensed phases of compounds implicated in the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). The large number of factors and their interaction makes it often difficult to assess their relative importance and concerted impact. Here we introduce a two-dimensional space which maps regions of domin...

This paper presents experimental observations of the nanocrystallization process in materials having Fe–Si (FINEMET), a-Fe (NANOPERM), and a0-FeCo (HITPERM) nanocrystals coupled through an amorphous phase. Crystallization kinetics and chemical partitioning during crystallization are described. Isothermal nanocrystallization is discussed in the framework of the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov mod...

Background: Soil and sediment serve as major reservoir for contaminants as they possess ability to bind various chemicals together. In this study the concentrations of heavy metals Cd, Cr and Cu were analyzed in surface sediments of Agh Gel Wetland in west of Iran. Methods: The sediment samples were taken from 10 stations. The samples were subjected to bulk digestion and chemical partitionin...

The distribution of Cs in Gliese 229B's atmosphere reveals how equilibrium chemistry establishes the atmospheric composition. The rapid kinetics of cesium chemistry keeps the Cs abundance in thermochemical equilibrium and renders Cs a sensitive measure of chemical processes in brown dwarf atmospheres. Observations of Gliese 229B indicate a subsolar bulk abundance of Cs, the depletion of alkali ...

In this article, we describe data on (1) compositions for both as-cast and heat treated specimens were summarized in Table 1; (2) the determined enthalpy of mixing of liquid phase is listed in Table 2; (3) thermodynamic database of the Co-Pr system in TDB format for the research articled entitle Chemical partitioning for the Co-Pr system: First-principles, experiments and energetic calculations...

Introduction: The partitioning of oxygen between silicates and liquid Fe-rich metallic alloy is a key factor in controlling chemical differentiation during core formation in terrestrial planets [1]. This is because oxygen partitioning determines the oxygen fugacity uniquely for a given bulk composition and therefore controls the partitioning of Fe and other siderophile elements during core form...

From January to March 2005, the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) on SCISAT-1 measured many of the changes occurring in the Arctic (50–80 N) lower stratosphere under very cold winter conditions. Here we focus on the partitioning between the inorganic chlorine reservoirs HCl and ClONO2 and their activation into ClO. The simultaneous measure...
