Many biological and medical experiments create image data. Their analysis needs both human and machine intelligence. I propose three principles of enrichment, overlay, and guidance that help in designing an interactive environment for experiment management and data analysis. An application to identify protein spots in series of electrophoresis gels is used as an example. Enrichment means that t...

Mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels which are exposed to abrasive wear. However, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced after a while due to its low hardness. With increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decrease and they need to be repaired for surface modification. In this regard, hard overlay coatings...

GIS is considered an important technique as well as a prerequisite for cost effective mineral exploration and determination of high potential areas. The purpose of this research is to determine high potential iron zones for detailed exploration using index overlay GIS method. Index Overlay was used to combine the geology, topography (scale: 1:1,000), lineaments, remote sensing (ASTER and ETM+) ...

Having given a short overview of GNSS signals and state-of-the-art multi-band front-end architectures, this paper presents a novel contribution to efficient multi-band GNSS reception. A general overlay based front-end architecture is introduced that enables the joint reception of two signals broadcast in separate frequency bands, sharing just one common baseband stage. The consequences of this ...

Large-scale overlay networks have become crucial ingredients of fully-decentralized applications and peer-to-peer systems. Depending on the task at hand, overlay networks are organized into different topologies, such as rings, trees, semantic and geographic proximity networks. We argue that the central role overlay networks play in decentralized application development requires a more systemati...

The aging of reinforced concrete structures is one the biggest concerns in civil engineering today since billions dollars are spent annually on deck repairs and replacements. This study focuses rehabilitation box girders used bridge construction. Bridge with a new overlay possesses many challenges that involve cracking debonding caused by restraining effect substrate. leads to development tensi...

It is a well-known fact that the partition is one of the main problems in p2p group membership. This problem rises when failures and dynamics of peer participation, or churn, occur in the overlay topology created by a group membership protocol connecting the group of peers. Solutions based on Gossip-based Group Membership (GGM) cope well with the failures while suffer from network dynamics. Thi...

Fuzzy overlay approach on three raster maps including land slope, soil type, and distance to stream can be used to identify the most potential locations of high arsenic contamination in soils. Verification of high arsenic contamination was made by collection samples and analysis of arsenic content and interpolation surface by spatial anisotropic method. A total of 51 soil samples were collected...
