a method based on machine vision system (mvs) is hereby employed to evaluate grape drying through an assessment of the fruit’s shrinkage and quality during the dehydration. experimental data as well as captured images are obtained at an air velocity of 1.4 m s-1 and different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70ºc). the results indicated the effect of temperature on the moisture content, shrinkage a...

This case report presents an implant-aided prosthetic treatment in which peri-implant plastic surgery techniques were applied in combination to satisfactorily attain functional aesthetic expectations. Peri-implant plastic surgery enables the successful reconstruction and restoration of the balance between soft and hard tissues and allows the option of implant-aided fixed prosthetic rehabilitation.

We study the connections between discrete one-dimensional schemes for nonlinear diffusion and shift-invariant Haar wavelet shrinkage. We show that one step of (stabilised) explicit discretisation of nonlinear diffusion can be expressed in terms of wavelet shrinkage on a single spatial level. This equivalence allows a fruitful exchange of ideas between the two fields. In this paper we derive new...

wavelet shrinkage denoising approach is able to maintain local regularity of a signal while suppressing noise. However, the conventional wavelet shrinkage based methods are not timescale adaptive to track the local timescale variation. In this paper, a new type of Neural Shrinkage (NS) is presented with a new class of shrinkage architecture for speckle reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between hygroscopic expansion and polymerization shrinkage for compensation of polymerization shrinkage stresses in a restored tooth. One resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI) (Ketac Nano, 3M ESPE), 2 compomers (Dyract, Dentsply; Compoglass, Ivoclar), and a universal resin-based composite (Esthet•X HD, Dentsply) were tested. Volumetric...

In the process of double-layer gas-assisted extrusion plastic micro-tubes, external size and surface quality micro-tubes are greatly affected by assisting gas inlet slit inside mold. Therefore, in this experiment, a two-phase flow model was established based on compressible non-compressible melt. The Polyflow finite element solution software module used to solve velocity field, temperature pres...

Injection molding process is one of the most important methods of forming in the plastics manufacturing industry. Shrinkage and out of roundness are phenomenons that affect the final product quality. In this study, the effect of the thickness of cylindrical parts from polypropylene material on shrinkage and out of roundness has been investigated. For this purpose, injection molding process is s...
