Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (InSAR), using data from the European Space Agency satellites ERS1 and ERS2, is being used to image, survey and map surface movement of the London region. Local and regional movement due to shrink and swell of the London Clay geology, tunnelling, and possibly ground water abstraction has been investigated here for the first time by InSAR. Cyclic ann...

This paper presents a variation of the Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), and compares a variety of evolutionary computation algorithms and paradigms for solving it. Techniques implemented, analyzed, and discussed herein with regard to MTSP include use of a neighborhood attractor schema (a variation on k-means clustering), the "shrink-wra...

Security is not considered a priority by developers of shrink-wrap systems because without a means to accurately and understandably measure it, security fails to provide a competitive advantage. I assert that the cost to break into a system is an effective metric, that this metric can be measured from the start of testing until product retirement, and that using this metric to differentiate pro...

Blown Film Extrusion is the primary technology used to make plastic films especially for the packaging industry. Its machines produce protective films used in many industries including food and pharmaceuticals – that extend product shelf life and improve consumer appeal. Products such as trash bags, frozen food packaging, shrink wrap, stretch film labeling, form, fill and seal packaging, medica...

Abstract Cell injection is a common clinical approach for therapeutic delivery into diseased and damaged tissues in order to achieve regeneration. However, cell retention, viability, engraftment at the site have generally been poor, driving need improved approaches. Here, we developed technique shrink-wrap micropatterned islands of corneal endothelial cells basement membrane-like layer extracel...

This paper proposes an adaptive threshold estimation method for denoising in wavelet domain merged with translation invariant denoising. The subband shrink is computationally more efficient and adaptive because the parameters required for estimating the threshold depend on subband data. A new probability density function is proposed to model the statistics of wavelet coefficients. The subband t...

Understanding depth distribution of roots may help develop an understanding of plant productivity and the limits to productivity by indicating which parts of the soil profile are being accessed for water and nutrients. The subtropical east coast of Australia provides climatic and soil conditions that produce some of the highest plant productivity rates in the country. This has been recognised b...

This paper deals with generating of an optimized route for multiple Traveling Salesman Problems. We used a methodology of clustering the given cities depending upon the number of salesmen and each cluster is allotted to a salesman. “k-Means clustering” algorithm has been used for easy clustering of the cities. In this way the mTSP has been converted into TSP which is simple in computation compa...

Denoising of images corrupted by Gaussian noise using wavelet transform is of great concern in the past two decades. In wavelet denoising method, detail wavelet coefficients of noisy image are thresholded using a specific thresholding function by comparing to a specific threshold value, and then applying inverse wavelet transform, results in denoised image. Recently, an effective image denoisin...
