In this paper, numerical simulations are used to study the turbulent wind noise reduction effect of microphone windscreens with varying shapes and flow resistivities. Typical windscreen shapes consisting of circular, elliptical, and rectangular cylinders are investigated. A turbulent environment is generated by placing a solid circular cylinder upstream of the microphone. An immersed-boundary m...

differs, and to apply those techniques for Chinese It is very important to perform a full-text retrieval search of document information accumulated in the past. Although the retrieval technologies for ascii teM documents have been established, the highly precise character retrieval from the image based documents such as a bitmap image is not easy. In this paper, a word retrieval technique for a...

introduction radiographs provide unique information about the status of periodontium and permanent records of condition of bone throughout the course of the disease. interproximal images record the distance between the cementoenamel junction and the crest of the interradicular alveolar bone, more accurately. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different vertical angles of x-r...

Vegetation moderates a microclimate by casting shadows, increasing light reflection, evaporation and perspiration; and correcting wind patterns. The present study aims to investigate the microclimatic role of vegetated surfaces and bodies in improving thermal comfort in outdoor spaces between buildings. The main research question is which of the green system modes, that is, horizontal vegetatio...

Observations of the Caspian Sea during August-September 1995 are used to develop a three-dimensional numerical model to be used in calculating temperature and current. The model has variable grid resolution and horizontal smoothing that filters out small scale vertical motion. Data from the meteorological buoy network on the Caspian Sea are combined with routine observations at first-order syno...

To investigate how the visual system integrates disparity information from horizontal and vertical edges and conveys it to the regions without any depth cues, we introduce a new phenomenon of subjective surface formation in an Ehrenstein-style configuration with inducing elements at different depths, and without explicit monocular occlusion zones. Different sets of experiments by separate group...

background and aims. panoramic radiography is a method widely used because of low absorbed dose in patients (approximately 10 times less than that in the full mouth survey), reasonable cost and time. disadvantages of this radiography technique are magnification and distortion as a result of unequal magnification, which can influence dimensional and angular measurements used in clinical dentistr...

potential fields are due to complex distribution of sources related to susceptibility and mass density variations for magnetic and gravity field respectively. in researching the lateral heterogeneous of different geological bodies, in particular their edge location potential field has some advantages. we mainly refer to linear features such as fault, folding axis, dyke, trend and border of the ...
