Nowadays, the stress analysis mostly aimed at general buried pipelines. And few of the gas pipelines in tunnel (especially under the seismic action) were analyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the stress distribution of gas pipeline under seismic action in tunnel. In this paper, CEASAR II software was used to establish the stress model of China-Myanmar XX tunnel pipeline under seismic ...

For natural gas pipeline, it has a leak or not is critical. The most commonly problems in the pipeline leak detection methods are the difficulties to identify, inaccuracy to locate, thus, the natural gas pipeline detection is difficult to be applied, therefore, the use of neural network multi-sensor data fusion of the natural gas pipeline leak detection is particularly important. In this paper,...

The pipeline systems and different subtypes of pipelines are interesting parts of parallel systems in software engineering. That is why it seems to be worth to deal with the possibilities of the specification of the synchronization of these systems. Different methods exist that can be used to synthesize the synchronization of parallel systems based on some kind of specification, but these metho...

There are a number of processing steps applied onboard a digital camera that collectively make up the camera imaging pipeline. Unfortunately, the imaging pipeline is typically embedded in a camera’s hardware making it difficult for researchers working on individual components to do so within the proper context of the full pipeline. This not only hinders research, it makes evaluating the effects...

Motivation: With the growing significance of metatranscriptomic assemblies, the need to improve their quality and maintain their controllable size has become essential. That would help in boosting all applications based on metatranscriptomic assembly. In this paper, we propose a pipeline that filters de novo assemblies while preserving or improving their quality. Original assemblies are based o...

Belief rule based expert systems are an extension of traditional rule based systems and are capable of representing more complicated causal relationships using different types of information with uncertainties. This paper describes how the belief rule based expert systems can be trained and used for pipeline leak detection. Pipeline operations under different conditions are modelled by a belief...

The high dynamic range (HDR) photography offers significantly better quality than conventional digital images stored in low dynamic range (LDR) formats. We replace the standard image capture pipeline in mobile phones with an HDR acquisition pipeline based on the multi-exposure method. We discuss limitations of the mobile platforms that affect architecture of the proposed pipeline, then implemen...

This new toolchain for accelerating application on CPU-FPGA platforms, called Courier-FPGA, extracts runtime information from a running target binary, and re-constructs the function call graph including input-output data. Then, it synthesizes hardware modules on the FPGA and makes software functions on CPU by using Pipeline Generator. The Pipeline Generator also builds a pipeline control progra...

Since the 2012 Pipeline Report, results from phase II trials and advances in preclinical development have brought the pipeline for new TB vaccines into sharper focus, even as correlates of protective immunity against TB remain elusive. Nearly empty in 2000, the current pipeline includes 14 vaccine candidates in clinical trials and over 35 candidates in discovery or preclinical development. Comp...

Pipelines carry different types of petroleum products from production areas to long-distance terminals. This paper introduces a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) based on a continuous time representation for scheduling a multi-product pipeline system connecting a unique refinery to several distribution centers where the mid-terminals are able to both inject product into the pipeline...
