Modification of a local ring by quadratic transformations

The Causes of Local Hardness Increasing in Powerplant Rotors and its Modification by Tempering (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Local hardness increasing on the surface of the power plant rotor may result in severe damages. One major solution for rapid repairing of the rotors is the adaptive tempering heat treatment. For this purpose, after identification of the damaged rotor, initial investigations and tests (such as visual inspection, chemical analysis, nondestructive hardness measurements and replica or on-site metal...

Rigid Resolution of a Finitely Generated Module Over a Regular Local Ring

Every Local Ring Is Dominated by a One-dimensional Local Ring

Let (R; m) be a local (Noetherian) ring. The main result of this paper asserts the existence of a local extension ring S of R such that (i) S dominates R, (ii) the residue eld of S is a nite purely transcendental extension of R=m, (iii) dim(S) 1. In addition, it is shown that S can be obtained so that either mS is the maximal ideal of S or S is a localization of a nitely generated R-algebra.

Flexible structural protein alignment by a sequence of local transformations

MOTIVATION Throughout evolution, homologous proteins have common regions that stay semi-rigid relative to each other and other parts that vary in a more noticeable way. In order to compare the increasing number of structures in the PDB, flexible geometrical alignments are needed, that are reliable and easy to use. RESULTS We present a protein structure alignment method whose main feature is t...

Adaptation of a tongue shape model by local feature transformations

Reconstructing the full contour of the tongue from the position of 3 to 4 landmarks on it is useful in articulatory speech work. This can be done with submillimetric accuracy using nonlinear predictive mappings trained on hundreds or thousands of contours extracted from ultrasound images. Collecting and segmenting this amount of data from a speaker is difficult, so a more practical solution is ...
