The detection and quantification of surface deformation of an active rock glacier using the differential SAR interferometry technique is presented. An average deformation rate of 6 mm/35 days in the radar line-of-sight in the summer of 1992 was estimated. The maximum deformation rate was located at the upper part of the rock glacier and amounts to 18 mm/35 days. In contrast, at the snout of the...

The interaction between a nanoprobe and a liquid surface is studied. The surface deformation depends on physical and geometric parameters, which are depicted by employing three dimensionless parameters: Bond number B_{o}, modified Hamaker number H_{a}, and dimensionless separation distance D. The evolution of the deformation is described by a strongly nonlinear partial differential equation, wh...

We present the application of a low dimensional manifold model (LDMM) on hyperspectral image (HSI) reconstruction. An important property of hyperspectral images is that the patch manifold, which is sampled by the three-dimensional blocks in the data cube, is generally of a low dimensional nature. This is a generalization of low-rank models in that hyperspectral images with nonlinear mixing term...

[1] We present a case study of a large deformation of the magnetopause on November 26, 2008. The investigation is based on observations of five THEMIS spacecraft located at the dawn flank in the magnetosphere and magnetosheath, on Cluster measurements at the dusk magnetosheath, and is supported by ACE solar wind monitoring. The main revelation of our study is that the interaction of the IMF dis...

using tidal potential, the effect of tide on the gravity field, crustal deformation due to tidal force, and gravity variations resulted from the crustal deformation are presented. tidal potential is divided into constant and periodic (diurnal and semi-diurnal) constituents, and for each constituents crustal displacements in radial, south-north, and east-west directions are computed. the aforeme...

We establish the analytic Hasse principle for Diophantine systems consisting of one diagonal form degree $k$ and general $d$, where $d$ is smaller than $k$. By employing a hybrid method that combines ideas from study forms with techniques adapted to case, we are able obtain bounds grow exponentially in but only quadratically $k$, reflecting growth rates typically obtained both problems separate...

We propose Regularized Max Pooling (RMP) for image classification. RMP classifies an image (or image region) by extracting feature vectors at multiple subwindows at multiple locations and scales. Unlike Spatial Pyramid Matching where the subwindows are defined purely based on geometric correspondence, RMP accounts for the deformation of discriminative parts. The amount of deformation and the di...

Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of post-perovskite (Mg,Fe)SiO3 (pPv) has been believed to be one potential source of the seismic anisotropic layer at the bottom of the lower mantle (D″ layer). However, the natural CPO of pPv remains ambiguous in the D″ layer. Here we have carried out the deformation experiments of pPv-(Mg0.75,Fe0.25)SiO3 using synchrotron radial X-ray diffraction i...

superplastic materials show a very high ductility. this is due to both peculiar process conditions and material intrinsic characteristics. however, a number of superplastic materials are subjected to cavitation during superplastic deformation. evidently, extensive cavitation imposes significant limitations on their commercial application. the deformation and failure of superplastic sheet metals...
