The objectives of this study were to determine the responses of cancellous bone in the distal tibial metaphysis (DTM), a low turnover, fatty (yellow) marrow site, to sham-aged, orchidectomy (ORX) and alfacalcidol treatment in sham-aged and ORX rats. Eighteen-month-old male sham and ORX rats were treated with 0.1 and 0.2 microg/kg alfacalcidol 5 days/wk p.o. for 12 weeks, double fluorescent labe...

We present a system for automatic music annotation that leverages temporal (e.g., rhythmical) aspects as well as timbral content. Our system estimates a dynamic texture mixture (DTM) density over times series of acoustic features (instead of on individual features) for each tag in a semantic vocabulary. When analyzing a new song, our system processes the time series of acoustic features of the ...

This paper investigates the utility of different parameters from polarimetric interferometric SAR data for the identification of ground pixels in a woodland area to enable accurate digital terrain model (DTM) generation from the InSAR height of the selected ground hit pixels. The parameters assessed include radar backscatter, interferometric coherence, surface scattering proportion (based on Fr...

Most of the proposed methods for automatic DTM reconstruction are based on parametric estimation processes with very little capabilities for reasoning and decision making. Human operators which measure DTMs solve interpretation related problems while they carry out the geometric measurements. When working with terrain often decisions have to be made which are of imprecise nature. For those prob...

This paper proposes a unified frame work for identification and control using time moments(TM) in which delta operator is used. Dynamic systems modelling with delta operator provides a unified framework in rapprochement between discrete-time systems and its continuous-time counterpart at fast sampling The theory of delta time moments(DTM) is utilized to develop algorithms for load frequency con...

Abstract A digital terrain model (DTM) is defined as the digital cartographic representation of the elevation of the earth's surface created from discrete elevation points. DTMs have been applied to a diverse field of tasks, such as forest management, urban planning, ice sheet mapping, flood control, road design, hydraulic simulation, visibility analysis of the terrain, and topographic change q...

This study introduces the Differential Transform Method (DTM) in the analysis of the free vibration response of a rotating closed section composite, Timoshenko beam, which features material coupling between flapwise bending and torsional vibrations due to ply orientation. The governing differential equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle and solved by applying DTM. The natura...

In the past years laser scanner data has established itself as an accurate and reliable data basis for many applications. Highly accurate digital terrain models (DTM) can be derived by filtering laser data that contains information on the terrain and objects covering the surface. Also in wooded areas the DTM’s have a high accuracy, since many of the laser pulses penetrate the vegetation and pro...
