In this paper, the stress concentration around a hole in the single layer composite materials with long fibers is examined. The single layer has an infinite length, limited with and instant thickness and is loaded by a constant tension force p at infinity. The width of the lamina is considered to be finite and bears a hole as a defect. Due to presence of excessive shear stress in the matrix bay...

In this paper a general analytical solution is obtained to find stress distribution in a finite elastic plate with a circular or square hole subjected to arbitrary biaxial partial loading using modified boundary condition by assuming plane stress conditions. The method employed is based on solution of circular hole in finite rectangular plate. This plate is mapped to circular ones and the parti...

Wave-equation based shot-record migration provides accurate images but is computationally expensive because every shot must be migrated separately. Shot-encoding migration, such as random shot-encoding or plane-wave migration, aims to reduce the computational cost of the imaging process by combining the original data into synthesized common-source gathers. Random shot-encoding migration and pla...

Basketball coaches at all levels use shot charts to study shot locations and outcomes for their own teams as well as upcoming opponents. Shot charts are simple plots of the location and result of each shot taken during a game. Although shot chart data are rapidly increasing in richness and availability, most coaches still use them purely as descriptive summaries. However, a team’s ability to de...

This article investigates historical trends of mean shot durations in 9,400 English-language and 1,550 non-English-language movies released between 1912 and 2013. For the sound-era movies of both sets there is little evidence indicating anything other than a linear decline plotted on a logarithmic scale, with the English-language set providing stronger results. In a subsample of 24 English-lang...

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is inevitable. Using of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) stimulates tissue repair and reduces inflammation. The objective of the present study aimed at evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of Helium-Neon (He-Ne) laser in stimulating the reparative processes in the liver of mice after whole body gamma-irradiation (WBγ-I). Materials and Methods: Two hundred...

Shot boundary detection is an important for retrieval of visual media in multimedia system. Video temporal segmentation algorithms use thresholding techniques to identify both abrupt shot changes and gradual shot transitions. Thresholding methods frequently provide false positives due to large variations in gradual transition regions. The principal components decomposition and the progressive n...

Shot and classification is first and foremost step for further analysis of video content . A Shot is defined as a set of frames from a single camera. Processing of video and image facilitates better understanding of the scene that it describe. It is a fundamental component of a number of technologies like video surveillance, robotics etc .A scene is a collection of one or more shots focusing on...
