This paper is purely theoretical. The main results are: (1) a more rigorous formulation to a parameter at a continuous version of the Integral Image algorithm, and (2) an extension of the algorithm to more general types of domains. The Integral Image algorithm has become an important tool in the image processing community, ever since it was first introduced in the context of objects detection b...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most popular structures used for diverting water in mountain region. corrosion and rotten problems of bottom racks inspire the introduction of a new system of bottom intake in which a porous media is replaced by the bottom rack. obviously, clogging and reduction of diverted discharge are the most important problems in this new system, too. in this paper...

The paper is dedicated to the investigations of purely viscous fluids in constant velocity squeeze flow, between two parallel disks. The influence of fluid rheological properties on normal force distribution and the interpretation of the obtained results is investigated. The analysis includes both experimental and numerical investigations. All results are being compared with theoretical predict...

In this paper we present the equations of motion of a moving screw dislocation in the framework of the translation gauge theory of dislocations. In the gauge field theoretical formulation, a dislocation is a massive gauge field. We calculate the gauge field theoretical solutions of a uniformly moving screw dislocation. We give the subsonic and supersonic solutions. Thus, supersonic dislocations...

in order to improve local therapeutic techniques for the massively burnt patients and to minimize the pain associated with dressing change, the concept of topical film was utilized to formulate a topical antimicrobial spray. the commonly used topical antimicrobial silver sulfadiazine spray was formulated as a new drug delivery system. the release of therapeutic agents in vitro from medicated sp...

This paper examines Yilmaz, Ören and Aghaee's outline of present research efforts into the development of simulations that " represent the behavior of active (human) entities in the world. " The paper argues that the Carter-Bostrom formulation of the anthropic principle provides a more functional set of theoretical, and pragmatic proposals to frame the issue of the simulation of human sociocogn...

The objective of this work is the development of a novel finite element formulation describing the contact behavior of slender beams in complex 3D contact configurations involving arbitrary beam-to-beam orientations. It is shown by means of a mathematically concise investigation of well-known beam contact models based on point-wise contact forces that these formulations fail to describe a consi...

Myosin V was the first discovered processive motor from the myosin family. It has therefore been subject of a number of mechanical, kinetic, optical and structural studies and now belongs to the best characterised motor proteins. This effort has been accompanied by a number of different theoretical models. In this article we give an overview of them and discuss what they have in common and wher...
