It is known that the global state of a composite quantum system can be completely determined by specifying correlations between measurements performed on subsystems only. Despite the fact that the quantum correlations thus suffice to reconstruct the quantum state, we show, using a Bell inequality argument, that they cannot be regarded as objective local properties of the composite system in que...

This paper describes the analysis of built-up areas using fully polarimetric interferometric SAR data at L-band. This approach uses a polarimetric interferometric segmentation to determine the number of dominant scattering mechanisms required by an interferometric phase estimation using ESPRIT method.

A new polarimetric calibration method using polarization orientation angle shifts at built-up areas and standard calibrators is studied. Calibration matrices were derived from datasets of the Gifu and the JAXA Tomakomai calibration sites, which are almost the same as those by JAXA. Faraday rotation angels in observed datasets can be estimated. Two estimated Faraday rotation angles were reasonable.

In this study, the effect of cladded tungsten carbide layer upon HSS - M2 tool steel on microstructure, hardness, and wear behavior has been studied in two cases without using the middle layer and using the middle layer of nickel. Tungsten Carbide cladded on HSS - M2 tool steel by Arc Weld ( SMAW ). The ASTM-G65 wear test was used to determine its application for use in the mineral indus...

Automatic extraction of built-up areas from a multitemporal interferometric ERS-1/2 Tandem SAR dataset was studied. The image data were segmented into homogeneous regions and the regions were classified using their mean intensity and coherence values and additional contextual information. According to comparison with a set of reference points, an overall classification accuracy of 97% was achie...

As one of the most important theories, coordination appears in a lot of fields and becomes a remarkable subject. This paper sums up the frame of the organizational coordination theory by refining the meaning of coordination, and with the support of this frame, studies the virtual enterprise’s coordination mechanism in two layers which are the strategy layer and the task layer according to the c...

A neural network is a system of interconnected artificial “neurons” that exchange messages between each other. The connections have numeric weights that are tuned during the training process, so that a properly trained network will respond correctly when presented with an image or pattern to recognize. The network consists of multiple layers of feature-detecting “neurons”. Each layer has many n...
