Résumé. Cet article présente une méthode complexe pour la caractérisation et l’indexation d’images graphiques de documents anciens. A partir d’un bref état de l’art, une méthode pour décrire ces images en tenant compte de leur complexité est proposée. Trois étapes principales de ce traitement sont détaillées dont une méthode novatrice d’analyse, de segmentation et de description des traits. Les...

Purpose − An alarming number of spreadsheet faults have been reported in the literature, indicating that effective and easy-to-apply spreadsheet testing techniques are not available for “non-technical”, end-user programmers. This paper aims to alleviate the problem by introducing a metamorphic testing (MT) technique for spreadsheets. Design/methodology/approach − The paper discussed four common...

A metamorphic robotic system is an aggregate of identical robot units which can individually detach and reattach in such a way as to change the global shape of the system. We introduce a mathematical framework for defining and analyzing general metamorphic systems. This formal structure combined with ideas from geometric group theory leads to a natural extension of a configuration space for met...

-l. The effect of metamorphosis on the serum proteins of three genera and five species of ambystomatid salamanders was examined by electrophoresis. 2. Four of the five species showed a significant increase in the fastest fraction upon metamorphosis. 3. Three of the five species showed a significant metamorphic increase in the second fastest fraction. 4. Four of the five exhibited a significant ...

introduction the area of this study is located near hamadan within the sanandaj - sirjan tectonic zone. in the hamadan area, consisting mainly of mesozoic plutonic and metamorphic rocks, aplites and pegmatites locally contain garnets.(baharifar et al., 2004, amidi and majidi, 1977; torkian, 1995. garnet-bearing schists and hornfelses in the area are products of regional metamorphism shown by sl...

when testing a program, correctly executed test cases are seldom explored further, even though they may carry useful information. Metamorphic testing proposes to generate follow-up test cases to check important properties of the target function. It does not need a human oracle for output prediction and comparison. An “oracle” in software testing is a procedure by which testers can decide whethe...

Malware detection is a crucial aspect of software security. Malware typically recur to a variety of disguise and concealing techniques in order to avoid detection. Metamorphism is the ability of a program to mutate its form yet keeping unchanged its functionality and therefore its danger in case of malware. A major challenge in this field is the development of general automatic/systematic detec...

The results of numerical modelling show that the mechanical stratification of the crust provides the fundamental control on fault spacing and, ultimately, the mode of extension. Macroscopic pre-existing structures and weaknesses are often thought to govern the behaviour of continental crust under extension, and many prior studies have focussed on the effect of heterogeneities in triggering faul...
