Abstract The magnetotelluric method is a geophysical commonly used to map subsurface resistivity. subsurface’s true resistivity generated by inversion of the data. Inversions carried out using conventional methods such as linear and global approaches have several limitations including need for an initial model, models trapped in local minima, large number iterations long computation time. To ov...

The construction industry is primarily concerned with increasing project quality while simultaneously maintaining and increasing the efficiency with which that quality is attained. It is proposed that both of these objectives can be achieved using a combination of existing visual analysis and three-dimensional modeling tools to identify, in real time, inconsistencies between design plans and ph...

The present work examines the impact of dimensionality single-particle models (SPMs) for pyrolysis thermally thick biomass particles. It builds up comprehensive one- and three-dimensional SPMs assesses their performances to gain a systematic understanding accuracy predicted results, predictive capability, computational costs. Cylindrical wheat straw pellets with an average size 10 mm length 7 d...

background: a comprehensive database, comprising geometry and properties of human teeth, is needed for dentistry education and dental research. the aim of this study was to create a three-dimensional model of human teeth to improve the dental e-learning and dental research.   methods: in this study, a cross-section picture of the three-dimensional model of the teeth was used. ct-scan images wer...
