in this research, the bending analysis of rectangular nanoplates subjected to mechanical loading is investigated. for this purpose, the strain gradient elasticity theory with one gradient parameter is presented to study the nanoplates. from the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that the exponential shear deformation formulation based on strain gradient elasticity theory is carried...

Due to decreasing dimensions and increasing signalfrequencies, the study of on-chip parasitic effects has become of basic importance. In order to accurately predict the behavior of a VLSI design, it is nowadays necessary to use tools capable of performing detailed field-calculations. A primary requirement for such computations is that the domain is decomposed into a mesh. This paper describes t...

The effect of surface roughness on the radar backscattering cross section of a perfectly conducting nominally spherical target is examined by applying the Kirchhoff method. It is shown that, for the type of roughness and sphere size to which the Kirchhoff method is applicable, the standard deviation of the cross section increases with frequency according to the law 2\TZ<r kt, until the first Fr...

In this project, we study a method to reconstruct a 3D scene from two views. First, we extract and match SIFT keypoints from two images, based on which we compute the fundamental matrix that relates the two images. Then we derive the camera matrices and reconstruct the 3D scene. To achieve better visual effects, we interpolate between the sparse 3D points. In order to do that, we first pick a p...

Historically, the field of naval architecture has relied on a combination model testing and scaling laws, known as extrapolation procedures, to predict full-scale power requirements. Numerous problems with procedures were identified almost soon they proposed, but since there no alternative laws their use persisted. This review article explores cause these uncertainties, attempts circumvent or c...

BACKGROUND Clear-cell carcinoma of the ovary (CCC) is often diagnosed at childbearing age, or sometimes during treatment for infertility. Therefore, most young women with early-stage CCC wish to preserve their reproductive and endocrine functions if possible. METHODS Clinicopathologic data collected under the central pathological review system were subjected to survival analyses. We analyzed ...
