Fractal image compression: A resolution independent representation for imagery [PDF]

open access: yes
A deterministic fractal is an image which has low information content and no inherent scale. Because of their low information content, deterministic fractals can be described with small data sets.

Association analysis of expansion crack development characteristics and uniaxial compressive strength property of sulphide-containing backfill

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2018
The cemented backfill body with sulphide-containing tailings exhibits a swelling phenomenon with an extension of curing age. The test results from the uniaxial compressive strength test of the backfill specimen with an obvious fracture are very discrete,

Numerical and Experimental Study of Mixing Characteristics in a Spiral Micromixer

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Significant enhancement of mixing performance can be achieved by Dean vortices in spiral channels. In order to deeply explore the mixing mechanisms and variation laws in spiral micromixers, this work designed a spiral micromixer and adopted a combined method of experiments and numerical simulations to analyze the mixing performance and ...

Fractal image compression method

open access: yesEastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies, 2014
The fractal image compression method is investigated. Among various coding methods, it allows to get the highest compression ratios. The mathematical model is considered, and classical algorithm of image coding-decoding using the fractal method is presented. Its essence lies in searching self-similar image parts based on compression parameters.

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
