A direct method called fixation is introduced for solving the general motion vision problem, arbitrary motion relative to an arbitrary environment. This method results in a linear constraint equation which explicitly expresses the rotational velocity in terms of the translational velocity. The combination of this constraint equation with the Brightness-Change Constraint Equation solves the gene...

Wall displacements and ground pressure acting on the lining of a tunnel increase with time. These time-dependent deformations are both due to face advance effect and to the time-dependent behavior of the rock mass.  Viscoelastic materials exhibit both viscous and elastic behaviors. Thorough this study, the effect of different linear viscoelastic models including Maxwell, Kelvin and Kelvin-Voigt...

A bstract In this article, we extend the work of [1] to a Bethe/Gauge correspondence between 2d (or resp. 3d) SO/Sp gauge theories and open XXX (resp. XXZ) spin chains with diagonal boundary conditions. The case linear quiver is also considered.

2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a by-product o f t he trichlorophenol (herbicide) production and is also produced through a variety of combustion processes. It appears that TCDD is a ubiquitous chemical, particularly in industrialised countries, and the liver is the target organ of its toxicity. The prominent hepatotoxic effect of TCDD is progressive centrilobular necrosis. Th...

let r be a ring and v be a matrix valuation on r. it is shown that, there exists a correspondence between matrix valuations on r and some special subsets ?(mvpr) of the set of all square matrices over r, analogous to the correspondence between invariant valuation rings and abelian valuation functions on a division ring. furthermore, based on malcolmson’s localization, an alternative proof for t...
