We present a framework for predicting the physical properties of moving deformable objects observed in video. We apply our framework to analyze videos of fabrics moving under various unknown wind forces, and recover two key material properties of the fabric: stiffness and mass. We extend features previously developed to compactly represent static image textures to describe video textures such a...

abstract obtaining reliable precipitation observations is important for hydrological simulations and weather forecasting. radar data can provide insight in the spatial variation of precipitation and can also detect large areas of rain and estimate rainfall rates. weather radar systems nearly always operate in s-, c- or x-band. since x-band systems require smaller antennas than those at c- or s-...

Crystal structures and physical properties have been investigated for two cation radical salts formed with EOET, which is a hybrid molecule between ET and BO. The Mott-insulating κ’-(EOET) 2 Cu[N(CN) 2 ]Br salt has a spin-singlet ground state, while the κ-(EOET) 2 GaCl 4 salt with a triangular lattice composed of EOET dimers shows a metal-insulator transition at around 40 K.

Abstract General faults in regular electrical railways system could be detect by implementing the specific protection functions such as ground fault or sensitive earth fault. Otherwise, in ungrounded electrical railway systems which using both feeding and return contact rail at the same time, fault detection cannot done with above-mentioned function. Due to recent growth in electrical railway ...

We present a detailed study of the recently proposed gapless color superconductivity in neutral two-flavor quark matter in β-equilibrium at zero as well as at finite temperature. We clarify the nature of the fermionic quasiparticles, and discuss the physical properties of this gapless phase of quark matter. The appearance of two “secondary” spin-1 condensates in the gapless ground state is poin...

Hydrogen interstitials-mediated ferromagnetism in MnxGe1−x magnetic semiconductors was studied by first-principles calculations. It was found that the H:1s state in Mn–H–Mn complexes can strongly hybridize with the valence states of Mn and change the spin polarization of Mn atoms. Although the dopedMn atoms tend to form the nearest-neighborMn atomic pairs with antiferromagnetic coupling in Mn-d...

As a participant of the ONR Shallow Water Acoustics experiment to be held on the outer New Jersey shelf during the summer of 2006 (SWA06), the long term goal of this project is to understand the interaction of acoustic energy, at both medium and low frequencies, with the seabed. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this work are to (1) incorporate existing geological, geophysical and geoacoustic data i...
