Gasoline blending is an important unit operation in gasoline industry. A good model for the blending system is beneficial for supervision operation, prediction of the gasoline qualities and realizing model-based optimal control. Gasoline blending process involves two types proprieties: static blending property and dynamic property of blending tanks. Since the blending cannot follow the ideal mi...

Image blending is a process of creating a set of discrete samples of a continuous, one-parameter family of images that links a pair of input images. Image blending has uses in a variety of computer graphics, cartoons and image processing applications. Image blending is to paste a source patch onto a objective image, which has received considerable attention. While gradient-domain blending is do...

In order to increase agglomeration production and improve its quality while reducing energy consumption, a new intelligent blending method has been established at Ansteel optimize sinter blends. The statistical model of the ore results shows that (1) ratio 47.2% Ore A 52.8% C corresponded best yield 72.44%. (2) From viewpoint reducibility, basicity should not be less than 1.98 when proportion i...

Skeletal animation with vertex blending is a popular method to model believable 3D characters. Its main advantage is its speed that allows real-time deformation even on low-level hardware. However it has some drawbacks as well: for some movements it produces non-natural postures like twisting elbows. We present a new method called bones blending that can be used as an alternative to vertex blen...

We prepared dual hydrophilic triblock copolypeptide vesicles that form both micron and nanometer scale vesicles in aqueous media. The incorporation of terminal homoarginine segments into methionine sulfoxide-based vesicles was found to significantly enhance their cellular uptake compared to a non-ionic control. We also demonstrated that diblock and triblock copolypeptides with similar hydrophob...

Panoptic is a custom spherical light field camera used as a polydioptric system where imagers are distributed over a hemispherical surface, each having its own vision of the surroundings and a distinct focal plane. The spherical light field camera records light information from any direction around its center. This paper revises previously developed Nearest Neighbor and Linear blending techniqu...

J. Korol, Central Mining Institute, Department of Material Engineering, Poland D. Burchart-Korol, A. Smoliński, Central Mining Institute, Department of Energy Saving and Air Protection, Poland In this study composition of sinter mixtures used in Polish sinter plants were established. Seven sinter mixtures composition were examined, based on iron-bearing materials, admixtures and fuels.

On dispensing powdered antineoplastic medicines, it is important to prevent cross-contamination and environmental exposure. Recently, we developed a method for blending powdered medicine in a disposable ointment container using a planetary centrifugal mixer. The disposable container prevents cross-contamination. In addition, environmental exposure associated with washing the apparatus does not ...

Open Relation Extraction (ORE) overcomes the limitations of traditional IE techniques, which train individual extractors for every single relation type. Systems such as ReVerb, PATTY, OLLIE, and Exemplar have attracted much attention on English ORE. However, few studies have been reported on ORE for languages beyond English. This paper presents a syntax-based Chinese (Zh) ORE system, ZORE, for ...
