Recently, the local binary pattern (LBP) has been widely used in texture classification. The conventional LBP methods only describe micro structures of texture images, such as edges, corners, spots and so on, although many of them show a good performance on texture classification. This situation still could not be changed, even though the multiresolution analysis technique is used in methods of...

Although many microfabrication methods have been reported, the preliminary replication templates used in most microfabrication still depend on the expensive and long-period photolithography. This paper explores an alternative replication templates based on a daily used material, flash foam (FF), and proposes a facile microfabrication method, flash foam stamp lithography (FFSL). When FF is expos...

This paper discusses the implementation of a complex event generation model with a simple feedback loop and its sound synthesis results while investigating the overall system behaviour. The system is based on the Cosmos model, which is a self similar structure, and distributes events on different time-scales with certain interdependency. The user intervenes with the system in real-time by input...

The eligibility of applying the Owens–Wendt approach to determining free surface energy liquid-repellent aluminum surfaces, with micro- and nanotextures formed by a femtosecond laser, was considered. This has been shown be applicable using two essential parameters that can derived from graphs. first is related fraction contact area between liquid solid in Cassie state. second degree intrinsic p...
