Critical Distance Default Values for Structural Steels and a Simple Formulation to Estimate the Apparent Fracture Toughness in U-Notched Conditions

open access: yesMetals, 2018
The structural integrity assessment of components containing notch-type defects has been the subject of extensive research in the last few decades. The assumption that notches behave as cracks is generally too conservative, making it necessary to develop

Reverberation Radius in Real Rooms [PDF]

open access: yesTelfor Journal, 2010
A reverberation radius, also called a critical distance, is an important parameter in sound reproduction. Statistical approach gives a simple formula for its calculation, and some simple methods for its measurement were described in literature.

Spatial competition on the master-saliency map.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
The saliency map model (Itti & Koch, 2000) is a hierarchically structured computational model, simulating visual saliency processing. Iso-feature processing on feature maps and conspicuity maps precedes cross-dimensional signal processing on the ...
