This research describes the unsteady two-dimensional reacting flows around a circular cylinder. The numerical solution combines the random vortex method for incompressible two-dimensional viscous fluid flow with a Simple Line Interface Calculation (SLIC) algorithm for the propagation of flame interface. To simplify the governing equations, two fundamental assumptions namely Low Mach Number and ...

During alloy solidification, many free grains in the melt have important effects on final microstructure and composition distributions. In this paper, grain motion is calculated based an interface tracking method coupled with a cellular automata (CA) method. First, capabilities of level set, simple linear calculation (SLIC), piecewise (PLIC) methods are compared, fidelity three models explored....

We demonstrate that with two small modifications, the popular dielectric continuum model is capable of predicting, with high accuracy, ion solvation thermodynamics in numerous polar solvents, and ion solvation free energies in water–co-solvent mixtures. The first modification involves perturbing the macroscopic dielectric-flux interface condition at the solute–solvent interface with a nonlinear...

A modified method for better superpixel generation based on simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) is presented and named BSLIC in this paper. By initializing cluster centers in hexagon distribution and performing k-means clustering in a limited region, the generated superpixels are shaped into regular and compact hexagons. The additional cluster centers are initialized as edge pixels to imp...

This paper presents a method for extending operating system functionality in a way that is secure, eecient, simple, requires no kernel source changes, and is compatible with existing application binaries. Our approach is to enable extensions of the system call interface by loading a device driver into the kernel that redirects system calls to extension code running either in the kernel or in a ...

Supervoxel methods such as Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) are an effective technique for partitioning an image or volume into locally similar regions, and are a common building block for the development of detection, segmentation and analysis methods. We introduce maskSLIC an extension of SLIC to create supervoxels within regions-of-interest, and demonstrate, on examples from 2-dimen...

Most superpixel methods are sensitive to noise and cannot control the number precisely. To solve these problems, in this article, we propose a robust method called fuzzy simple linear iterative clustering (Fuzzy SLIC), which adopts local spatial C-means dynamic superpixels. We develop fast precise algorithm onion peeling (OP) algorithm. Fuzzy SLIC is insensitive most types of noise, including G...

This paper addresses the search for a fast and meaningful image segmentation in the context of k-means clustering. The proposed method builds on a widely-used local version of Lloyd’s algorithm, called Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC). We propose an algorithm which extends SLIC to dynamically adjust the local search, adopting superpixel resolution dynamically to structure existent in t...

Modern production operating systems are large and complex systems developed over many years by large teams of programmers, containing many hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Consequently, it is extremely difficult to add significant new functionality to these systems [16, 1, 42]. In response to this problem, a number of recent research projects have addressed the issue of extensible operat...

Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLIC) experience difficulties in processing Subject relative clauses (SRC). This has been interpreted as evidence that they lack syntactic representations for SRC. Our study investigates the spontaneous production of SRC in typically developing children (TDC) and SLIC in a structural priming paradigm, and compares their performance in a sentence repet...
