Comparative Analysis of Molecular Clouds in M31, M33 and the Milky Way [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present BIMA observations of a 2$\arcmin$ field in the northeastern spiral arm of M31. In this region we find six giant molecular clouds that have a mean diameter of 57$\pm$13 pc, a mean velocity width of 6.5$\pm$1.2 \kms, and a mean molecular mass of

Contour adaptation

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2013
It is known that adaptation to a disk that flickers between black and white at 3-8 Hz on a gray surround renders invisible a congruent gray test disk viewed afterwards. This is contrast adaptation. We now report that adapting simply to the flickering circular outline of the disk can have the same effect.

Enhancing Corrosion Resistance and Mechanical Strength of 3D‐Printed Iron Polylactic Acid for Marine Applications via Laser Surface Texturing

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Laser surface texturing significantly improves the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of 3D‐printed iron polylactic acid (Ir‐PLA) for marine applications. Optimal laser parameters reduce corrosion by 80% and enhance tensile strength by 25% and ductility by 15%.

Implementing user‐defined atlas‐based auto‐segmentation for a large multi‐centre organisation: the Australian Experience

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2019
Introduction Contouring has become an increasingly important aspect of radiation therapy due to inverse planning, and yet is extremely time‐consuming. To improve contouring efficiency and reduce potential inter‐observer variation, the atlas‐based auto ...

Force control for automatic cashew shelling considering size variance

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2014
Vietnam has the world's largest market share of cashew nuts, and hence a large number of workers are involved in the cashew processing industry. A shelling operation is necessary to acquire a kernel (edible portion) of a cashew.

Simulation of microlensing lightcurves by combining contouring and rayshooting [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The contouring methods described by Lewis et al. (1993) and Witt (1993) are very efficient and elegant for obtaining the magnification of a point source moving along a straight track in the source plane.

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Numerical investigation of centrifugal compressor stability enhancement using vaned diffuser endwall contouring technology

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2022
To improve the stable operating range of centrifugal compressor stage, endwall contouring technology is introduced on the hub‐side wall of the vaned diffuser for NASA CC3 centrifugal compressor as a promising technique to redistribute the flow field near

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

Performance of Commercial Deep Learning-Based Auto-Segmentation Software for Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy Planning: A Systematic Review

open access: yesMultimodal Technologies and Interaction
As yet, no systematic review on commercial deep learning-based auto-segmentation (DLAS) software for breast cancer radiation therapy (RT) planning has been published, although NRG Oncology has highlighted the necessity for such.
