Images are highly complex multidimensional signals, with rich and complicated information content. For this reason they are difficult to analyze with a specific automated approach. However, a hierarchical representation is helpful for understanding image content. In this paper, we describe an application of a scale-space clustering algorithm (melting) for exploration of image information conten...

We report the development of a robust and general model for the prediction of melting points. It is based on a diverse data set of 4173 compounds and employs a large number of 2D and 3D descriptors to capture molecular physicochemical and other graph-based properties. Dimensionality reduction is performed by principal component analysis, while a fully connected feed-forward back-propagation art...

Ionic liquids are molten salts that have low melting points. This review concentrates upon eutectic mixtures of quaternary ammonium salts and metal salts (usually halides). These so-called eutectic based ionic liquids can be used for the electrodeposition and dissolution of a wide range of metals and alloys. The review highlights the technological challenges involved in the application of ionic...

An improved and simplified procedure is described for determining the freezing points of hydrocarbons from time-temperature freezing and melting curves, and for calculating the purity whcn the freezing point for zero impurity is (a) known and (b) not previously known. A procedure for determining the cryoscopic constant is also described. I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII.

Inorganic compounds which include metals, minerals, and organometallic compounds are used as catalysts, pigments, coatings, surfactants, medicines, fuels and more. They often have high melting points and specific high or low electrical conductivity properties, which make them useful for specific purposes. The scope of the review focusses on the application of a few inorganic materials with spec...

The positions and distances of melting peaks were identical in individuals with the same genotypes. The detection probe of the apoB3500 mutation was derived from the nonsense DNA strand and matched the wild-type sequence of the gene. Because of the length and base composition of the probe, the melting points were higher compared with the apoE probes. Therefore, the fluorescence signal intensity...

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy of selected phosphine oxides adsorbed on silica surfaces establishes the surface mobilities, even of phosphine oxides with high melting points. Crystal structures of the adducts Ph3 PO⋅HOSiPh3 and Cy3 PO⋅H2 O indicate that the interactions with silica involve hydrogen bonding of the P=O group to adsorbed water and surface silanol groups.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are non-molecular solvents; specifically, molten salts with low melting points, often below 100 °C and even room temperature, thus allowing these solvents to remain liquid [...]
