Actually there is neither trustworthy method nor software available in the market for male-female masterpieces nominal distance calculation. This is a common large problem for workshops that deal with mould making and their correctness. Knowing this distance is essential in stamping or pressing tasks for automotive industry. For this purpose a 3D point laser scanner attached to a milling machin...

Particle tracking analysis (PTA) is an emerging technique suitable for size analysis of particles with external dimensions in the nano- and sub-micrometre scale range. Only limited attempts have so far been made to investigate and quantify the performance of the PTA method for particle size analysis. This article presents the results of a validation study during which selected colloidal silica ...

Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a popular technique employed by Recommender Systems, a term used to describe intelligent methods that generate personalized recommendations. The most common and accurate approaches to CF are based on latent factor models. Latent factor models can tackle two fundamental problems of CF, data sparsity and scalability and have received considerable attention in recen...

Abstract: The contribution of this paper is both methodological and empirical. It proposes a methodology for evaluating the distributional implications of price movement for inequality and poverty measurement. The methodology is based on a distinction between inequalities in nominal expenditures, where the expenditures are either measured in nominal terms or a common price deflator is applied f...

1 Overview and summary This note summarizes a set of measurements of eight Gilbert Cell multipliers from 2-18.5 GHz, the nominal spectrometer band, at 10 V bias. With the results from the first set of measurements (I: First Measurement) indicating the most favorable circuit and operating conditions, this note reports on scatter from a sample of eight MULT1 devices operated without additional bias.

Background Although the depth of the counting chamber is an important factor influencing sperm counting, no research has yet been reported on the measurement and comparison of the depth of the chamber. We measured the exact depths of six kinds of sperm counting chambers and evaluated their accuracy. MaterialsAndMethods In this prospective study, the depths of six kinds of sperm counting chamber...
