In this book, several intelligent data dependent (IDD) approaches are applied to relevant modeling problems in the classification, simulation, and control of traffic flow. The studies cover a wide range of traffic flow systems including the analyses of freeway mainline flow, freeway ramp metering system, roadway flow disperson between intersections, and flow simulations at signalized and unsignalized intersections. Most of the proposed approaches reflect recent and advanced technologies in relevant research fields (e.g. computer science, control engineering), which are intelligent and robust to the changing physical environments. The structures and parameters are determined based on surveyed or simulated data sets. Compared with the...

This book presents a statistical learning framework for inferring geometric structures from images. The proposed framework computes dense range maps of locations in the environment using only intensity images and very limited amount of range data as an input. This is achieved by integrating and analyzing the statistical relationships between the visual data and the available depth on terms of small patches. The scientific issue is to represent this correlation such that it can be used to recover range data where missing. Markov Random Fields are used as a model to capture the local statistics of the intensity and range. Experiments on real-world data are conducted under different configurations to demonstrate the feasibility of the...

Die Operation des Kataraktes ist zum heutigen Zeitpunkt der am haufigsten durchgefuhrte chirurgische Eingriff uberhaupt. Waren die Bemuhungen noch vor einigen Jahren darauf beschrankt, dem Menschen durch die Implantation einer kunstlichen Linse wieder „klare Sicht“ zu verschaffen, liegen die Forderungen heute im Erreichen der Emmetropie und des bestmoglichen Abbildungsvermogens. Die Bestrebungen gehen soweit, dem Patienten ein „jugendliches Sehen“ zuruckzugeben. Eine Moglichkeit besteht in der Korrektion mit Intraokularlinsen aspharischer Oberflachen. Der Autor Andre Loffler beschreibt in der vorliegenden Arbeit seine Vorgehensweise bei der Entwicklung etwaiger aspharischer abbildungsoptimierter Intraokularlinsen. Dabei geht er...

This book offers an analytical review of psychrometric processes through EES (Engineering Equation Solver). Several problems are solved using equations and the corresponding psychrometric chart. The aim is to facilitate the study of the principles of psychrometrics, in a gradual and progressive manner. As the resolution of certain parameters calls for a numerical solution, a software tool that simplifies the calculation process was developed, based on the equations shown. In this book students of engineering are encouraged to use new techniques to solve problems related to thermodynamics, and to possibly develop their own applications. The book is organized into six chapters. The first chapter gives a brief summary of program management...

The co-firing technology of coal with biomass has been implemented to enhance the usage of biomass in power generation, thus reducing the release of greenhouse gas emissions. This study deals with the fireside issues, namely ash-related issues that arise during co-combustion of coal and biomass takes place. Ash release from biomass can lead to ash deposition problems such as fouling and slagging on surfaces of power generation boilers. The scope of this work includes the development of a conceptual model that predicts the ash release behaviour and chemical composition of inorganics in coal and biomass when combusted. An advanced analytical method was developed and introduced in this work to determine the speciation of biomass. The method...

The structure of Schottky-barrier (SB) MOSFETs was investigated for both the perspective of practical applications and interest in novel Flash memory. We demonstrated how the source-side injection of hot electrons in the dopant-segregated SB (DSSB) Flash memory cell achieves high-speed, low-voltage programming with excellent injection efficiency, and no constraints on the optimization of gate and drain voltages. Moreover, the drain disturbance-free phenomenon in NOR Flash architecture was achieved. Excellent programming efficiency, especially, was achieved in a DSSB Flash device with a narrow fin width due to an enhanced lateral electric field without any sacrifice of parasitic resistance. Thus, the DSSB device can be a promising...

This book seeks to improve knowledge and understanding of residual stress in steel welds by providing a detailed distribution of those stresses measured by non-destructive independent techniques, such as neutron and synchrotron diffraction methods. The work has investigated improved measurement and data interpretation procedures relating to these techniques. One investigation related to the design of stress-free reference samples and the procedure by which they should be measured. Another investigation related to the development of consistency checks on the residual stress measurements to ensure that they met boundary requirements. It was found that these factors were critical for obtaining good correlation between residual stresses...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Iron filings are very small pieces of iron that look like a light powder. They are very often used in science demonstrations to show the direction of a magnetic field. Since iron is a ferromagnetic material, a magnetic field induces each particle to become a tiny bar magnet. The south pole of each particle then attracts the north poles of its neighbors, and this process repeated over a wide area creates chains of filings parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. Iron Filings are used in many places including schools where they test the reaction of the filings to magnets. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...
