Natural scene features stabilize and extend the tracking range of augmented reality (AR) pose-tracking systems. We develop robust computer vision methods to detect and track natural features in video images. Point and region features are automatically and adaptively selected for properties that lead to robust tracking. A multistage tracking algorithm produces accurate motion estimates, and the ...

chemical stabilization of heavy metals is one of the soil remediation methods based on the application amendments to reduce mobility of heavy metals. a laboratory study was conducted to investigate the influence of different kinds of amendments on cadmium (cd) stabilization in a cd-spiked soil. the amendments were municipal solid waste compost (mswc), coal fly ash (cfa), rice husk biochars prep...

Direct control of protein level enables rapid and efficient analyses of gene functions in crops. Previously, we developed the RDDK-Shield1 (Shld1) system in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana for direct modulation of protein stabilization using a synthetic small molecule. However, it was unclear whether this system is applicable to economically important crops. In this study, we show that the...

We use the thermodynamic model introduced by Aptekar’ and Ponyatovskiy for the – transformation in cerium metal to study the properties f plutonium metal. The model describes the – transformation in Pu and explains the minimum in the melting versus pressure curves for both aterials. Ga stabilization of the -phase of Pu is explained in terms of a first order transition between the two phases. Th...

We propose a massless nonminimally coupled scalar field as a mechanism for stabilizing the size of the extradimension in the Randall-Sundrum I scenario. Without needing to introduce self interactions terms we obtain a potential for the modulus field that sets the size of the fifth dimension. The minumum of this potential yields appropriate values of the compactification scale for small values o...

Nowadays, waste production is increased due to the growth of technology and excessive use of natural resources as well as production of new chemicals, among which the hazardous wastes are no exception of that stabilization and solidification method is one of the hazardous waste management methods through which the waste materials are stabilized and confined. High flexibility for various polluta...

In the present work, the substituent effect on the strength of H-bonds in the guanine – cytosine base pair was studied when the substituents are connected to the guanine base through a phenyl ring. In this study, guanine was substituted in the H8 and H9 positions by electron donating (ED) and electron withdrawing (EW) groups mediated by a phenyl ring in the gas phase. The calculations were perf...

aims: in biological wastewater treatment processes, a large amount of sludge is produced. stabilization of sludge is essential before disposal because of the risks to human health and environment. therefore, selecting an appropriate process for stabilization this sludge may efficiently decrease risks. the aim of this study was to examine the compound efficiency of the advanced fenton and ozonat...

Maintaining spanning trees in a distributed fashion is central to many networking applications and selfstabilizing algorithms provide an elegant way of doing it in fault-prone environments. In this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing algorithm for maintaining a spanning tree in a distributed fashion for a completely connected topology. Our algorithm requires a node to process O(1) messages on ...
