Multi-band near-infrared images of twelve BL Lacertae objects were obtained with the 2.5m telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in order to determine the properties of their underlying host galaxies. Resolved emission was clearly detected in eight of the lowest redshift targets (up to z ∼0.3), and was modeled with a de Vaucouleurs r1/4 surface brightness law. We find that the morphologies m...

abstractthe purpose of this study was to investigate the controllable operating parameters influence, including ph, solid content, collector, co-collector, and depressant dose, and conditioning time, on apatite flotation kinetics. four first order flotation kinetic models are tested on batch flotation time-recovery profiles. the results of batch flotation tests and the fitting of first-order ki...

In this study, the effect of tire inflation pressure on vehicle during braking was investigated experimentally. The experimental study carried out in Brake-Suspension Test Device designed as a half-vehicle model, which enables brake tests to be performed laboratory. During tests, total nine different pressures from 26 psi 40 standard value were taken into consideration. As result experiments se...

We develop a framework that provides few-mode master equation description of the interaction between single quantum emitter and an arbitrary electromagnetic environment. The field quantization requires only fitting spectral density, obtained through classical simulations, to model system involving small number lossy interacting modes. illustrate power validity our approach by describing populat...

In this paper, we present a complete framework to inverse render faces from single images using a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM). A 3DMM is a linear statistical model of 3D shape and texture [2]. In general, inverse rendering of faces from single photographs is ill-posed, as the same appearance can be obtained by different underlaying factors. For instance, a red pixel can be caused by skin colour, ...
