in this paper, we give some characterizations for legendre spherical, legendre normal and legendre rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional sasakian space. furthermore, we show that legendre spherical curves are also legendre normal curves. in particular, we prove that the inverse of curvature of a legendre rectifying curve is a non-constant linear function of the arclength parameter.

long-term settlement of msw landfills is a complex process, which is explained by the following two mechanisms: (1) the mechanical long-term compression of degradable organic solids (dos) and un-degradable organic solids (udos); and (2) the decomposition-based compression of the dos. based on these two distinct settlement mechanisms, in this study, the authors propose a new estimation model to ...

This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved through a hierarchical surface fitting by exploiting the multi-scale representation of the model. A strategy for converting the surface estimation into curve estimations is devised. The model surface is estimated by successi...

in this paper, an improved method (improved an-eul) is presented. this method is based on the combination of the analytical signal and the euler deconvolution method. two important parameters such as location and approximate geometry of a magnetic source can be obtained using the conventional an-eul method. altitude of ground and height in upward continuation has been considered for depth deter...

Tissue deformation in ultrasound imaging is an inevitable phenomenon and poses challenges to the development of many techniques related to ultrasound image registration, including multimodal image fusion, freehand three-dimensional ultrasound, and quantitative measurement of tissue geometry. In this thesis, a novel trajectory-based method to correct tissue deformation in ultrasound B-mode imagi...

the major problem in the assessment of relationships between rainfall and runoff occurs when a study is carried out in ungauged watersheds in the absence of hydro-climatic data. this study aims to evaluate the applicability of natural resources conservation service-curve number (nrcs-cn) method together with gis in estimating runoff depth in a mountainous watershed. the study was carried out in...

The objectives were to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for lactation curve traits in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. The used data were records on Holstein cows collected during January 2003 to December 2012 by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran (Karaj, Iran). In order to describe the lactation curve, an incomplete gamma function was fitted to 691200 test-day records on 962...
