At its simplest, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) involves a voxel-wise comparison of the local concentration of gray matter between two groups of subjects. The procedure is relatively straightforward and involves spatially normalizing high-resolution images from all the subjects in the study into the same stereotactic space. This is followed by segmenting the gray matter from the spatially normal...

The tolerance study is one of the most critical and neglected issues in sheet metal assembly manufacturing research. The fundamental shortcoming of currently existing tolerancing methods is the lack of physical significance of the model. This paper presents a new tolerance analysis methodology for sheet metal assembly based on physical/functional modeling of the fabrication error using the deve...

-Wind energy has been used for navigation and agriculture. Recently, wind energy is given a lot of attention because of the focus on renewable energy. Wind energy growth in Asia is currently on the rise. Both India and China are leading with more installed capacity and manufacturing facilities. In Malaysia, wind energy conversion is also given a serious consideration. The potential for wind ene...
