Piling-ups of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) arrays against interfaces are known to produce hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening and strain hardening enhance the strength ductility heterostructured materials. Here we report an interesting mechanism that can strong HDI hardening: consecutive reflections GND planar piling-up near opposite phase boundaries in a AlCoCrFeNi2 hig...

monolayer cultures were first prepared with the tubes in conventional horizontal position. When cultures were then changed to a vertical position, stratification, piling up, and aggregation of cells were observed in a few days at the aerobic end of the gradient. Keratinization appeared 1 week after the tubes were placed in vertical position. Squamous differentiation proceeded to the formation o...

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a powerful and widely used classification algorithm. Its performance is well known to be impacted by a tuning parameter which is frequently selected by cross-validation. This paper uses the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions to provide rigorous mathematical proof for new insights into the behavior of SVM in the large and small tuning parameter regimes. These insig...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a construction robot master-slave teleoperation system with video cameras and force feedback based on behavioral and subjective measures. The system can provide an operator with a realistic force feeling according to the actuator condition using the velocity-driving force characteristics. The teleoperation system comprises two joysticks on the master sid...

The counting losses introduced by the dead time of a counting system are a limiting factor in counting measurements. The purpose of this work is to report an efficient method for the measurement of the effective dead time of a counting system and to characterize its dead time behavior, providing a way to investigate each experimental situation. The method, which we designate as Delayed and Mixe...
