with the growth of technology, supervising systems are increasingly replacing humans in military, transportation, medical, spatial, and other industries. among these systems are machine vision systems which are based on image processing and analysis. one of the important tasks of image processing is classification of images into desirable categories for the identification of objects or their sp...

long-throated flumes are measurement structures often used in water and wastewater systems to determine the flow discharge. the head-discharge relationship of long-throated flumes is traditionally determined following the critical flow theory and the boundary layer concept. after a review of the traditional approach and an analysis of the approximate assumptions of the boundary layer approach, ...

three k-tree distance and fixed-sized plot designs were used for estimating tree density in sparse oak forests. these forests cover the main part of the zagros mountain area in western iran. they are non-timber-oriented forest but important for protection purposes. the main objective was to investigate the statistical performance of k-tree distance and fixed-sized plot designs in the estimation...

The transient flow analyzing by the frequency domain method (FDM) is computationally much faster than the method of characteristic (MOC) in the time domain. FDM needs no discretization in time and space, but requires the linearization of governing equations and boundary conditions. Hence, the FDM is only valid for small perturbations in which the system’s hydraulics is almost linear. In this st...

The incompressible Stokes equations with prescribed normal stress (open) boundary conditions on part of the boundary are considered. It is shown that the standard pressure-correction method is not suitable for approximating the Stokes equations with open boundary conditions, whereas the rotational pressure-correction method yields reasonably good error estimates. These results appear to be the ...

The analysis of redshift surveys with fractal tools requires one to apply some form of statistical correction for galaxies lying near the geometric boundary of the sample. In this paper we compare three different methods of performing such a correction upon estimates of the correlation integral in order to assess the extent to which estimates may be biased by boundary terms. We apply the correc...

The dynamic response of a homogeneous half-space, with a traction-free surface, is considered within the framework of non-local elasticity. The focus is on the dominant effect of the boundary layer on overall behaviour. A typical wavelength is assumed to considerably exceed the associated internal lengthscale. The leading-order long-wave approximation is shown to coincide formally with the 'loc...

In the present paper a multigrid technique for three-dimensional perfect gas hypersonic vis-cous ows has been developed, employing a Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) discretization and an upwind correction prolongation, based on a monotonic reconstruction of coarse-grid correction. The methodology has good convergence properties, both for boundary layer ows and complex shock wave-boundary laye...
