PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the fit of zirconia ceramics before and after veneering, using 3 different veneering processes (layering, press-over, and CAD-on techniques). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty standardized zirconia CAD/CAM frameworks were constructed and divided into three groups of 10 each. The first group was veneered using the traditional layering technique. Press-over and C...

Airborne LiDAR point cloud of a forest contains three dimensional data, from which vertical stand structure (including information about under-story trees) can be derived. This paper presents a segmentation approach for multi-story stands that strips the point cloud to its canopy layers, identifies individual tree segments within each layer using a DSM-based tree identification method as a buil...

Filtering Random Layering Effects for Imaging and Velocity Estimation

Data transport services are flourishing at the intra-domain level. Despite that, things look much worse when we try to cross a domain boundary. Operators are endlessly tuning Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to achieve various traffic engineering goals [4], yet, unfortunately there is no easy way to allocate resources from point A to point B between two arbitrary domains on the Internet. Both work...

The American National Corpus and its annotations are represented in a stand-off XML format compliant with the specifications of ISO TC37 SC4 WG1’s Linguistic Annotation Framework. Because few systems that enable search and access of the corpus currently support stand-off markup, the project has developed a SAX like parser that generates ANC data with annotations in-line, in a variety of output ...

In this work we present asymptotically justified boundary/interface conditions for a viscoelastic two-phase fiber model with flow-enhanced crystallization. While the equations are well-established in literature, choice of boundary is still under discussion as they might cause artificial layering at crystallization onset. We show that our avoid such layering, yielding regularly perturbed value p...

To accommodate heterogeneous transmission conditions in a streaming scenario several multi-rate multicast solutions have been proposed, based on simulcasting or hierarchical layering. At present, most of these schemes follow a receiver-driven layered multicast approach, where the receivers join or leave a subset of the session’s fixed-rate layers in response to changing network conditions. Yet,...
