Within the nuclear Fermi-liquid drop model, quantum and thermal fluctuations are considered by use of the Landau-Vlasov-Langevin equation. The spectral correlation function of the nuclear surface fluctuations is evaluated in a simple model of an incompressible and irrotational Fermi liquid. The dependence of the spectral correlation function on the dynamical Fermi-surface distortion is establis...

Fig. S1. Enlarged version of Fig. 1, the structure and electrical characteristics of our devices. (a) Device schematic showing our individually patterned TiN/SiOx/TiN devices on a SiO2/p-­‐Si substrate. (b) Typical switching characteristics for our metal-­‐insulator-­‐ metal devices. Following an electroforming sweep (1), the device may be reset (2) and set (3) repeatedly to cycle between 'on' ...

We describe a new method for pairwise retinal image registration. The proposed method is unique in that the radial distortion due to image acquisition is corrected prior to the geometric transformation. Since the overlapping region is typically small in a retinal image pair, only a few correspondences are available, thus limiting the applicable model to an affine transform at best. To recover t...

The imaging systems using cameras to archive art paintings have several essential problems including image resolution and lens distortion. A scanner is considered as a precise imaging device, which can acquire images with high resolution and without camera lens distortion. The present paper proposes a method to estimate the surface properties of art paintings for digital archiving using the six...

A new method is proposed for removing geometric distortion in images of submerged objects observed from outside shallow water. The water waves will affect the appearance of the individual video frames such that no single frame is completely free of geometric distortion. This suggests that, in principle, it is possible to perform a selection of a set of low distortion sub-regions from each video...

to enhance the understanding of the impact of obstacle buildings on pollution transportationand dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer, it is necessary to know the atmospheric flow characteristics over terrains. wind flow characteristics in a boundary layer over a step-shaped cliff topography model with rough and smooth surfaces were studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics ...

The proposed watermarking algorithm is based on geometrical properties of 3D mesh. The vertices of 3D mesh surface are categorized into flat, peak and deeper region. We first compare the perceivable distortion due to watermark insertion in the vertices of deep surfaces and the vertices belonging to either flat or peak surfaces. Our comparative analysis shows that insertion of watermark in deepe...
