This paper proposes an automatic procedure to fix closed-eyes image by seamlessly copying the eyes from another images. First, it selects the matching features points in the input images. Then, it warps the shape of the opened-eyes face to the shape of the closedeyes face. Next, it creates a binary mask for the eyes region. Finally, it blends the warped opened-eyes face with the original closed...

Abstract Binary blends of ethanol-diesel, n-butanol-diesel, ethanol-biodiesel, and n-butanol-biodiesel have been analyzed with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in a full range concentrations at room temperature. The real imaginary parts the complex dielectric constant were obtained from spectra fitted to Debye model low volume (up 7.5% for ethanol diesel up 20% butanol diesel, biodiesel, biod...

The hunt for new refrigerant blends has been concentrated to locate A1 refrigerants. However, the investigation A2 or A2L replace hydrocarbons (A3) not attracted attention yet, although these mixtures will allow increase maximum charge of refrigeration systems from 500 g 1200 g. This paper extends Linteris’ et al. work define, first time, frontier between A3 and ASHRAE safety classifications wi...

Semiconducting polymer heterostructures with strong two-dimensional quantum confinement of excitons are prepared by self-assembly of two conjugated polymers in binary blends. Exciton confinement effects in the semiconducting polymer quantum wires were observed at room temperature by photoluminescence excitation and photoluminescence spectroscopies and by electric field-induced photoluminescence...

A method of generalized regression that blends tree-structured nonparametric regression and adaptive recursive partitioning with maximum likelihood estimation is studied. The function estimate is a piecewise polynomial, with the pieces determined by the terminal nodes of a binary decision tree. The decision tree is constructed by recursively partitioning the data according to the signs of the r...

Time-resolved small angle neutron scattering was used to probe the initial stages of liquid-liquid phase separation in both critical and off-critical binary polymer blends, and the critical (q(c)) and most probable (q(m)) wave vectors were identified for several quench depths. For the critical blend, the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook theory provides a framework for analyzing the data and explains the obse...

We study nucleation in binary polymer blends in the presence of mesoscopic spherical particles using self-consistent field theory, considering both heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation mechanisms. Heterogeneous nucleation is found to be highly sensitive to surface selectivity and particle size, with rather subtle dependence on the particle size. Particles that preferentially adsorb the nucl...

Exergy analysis is carried out on a single-cylinder CI engine fueled with biodiesel blends of palm, jatropha and cottonseed oils. This to identify the high exergy destruction. To this end, experimental analytical methods were adopted. Three types incorporated in study are primary, binary ternary. The load was varied as an independent parameter, mass flow rates air fuel, flue gas composition, et...

Blends of soy protein (SP) and a semicrystalline polylactide (PLA) were prepared using a twin-screw extruder. The melt rheology, phase morphology, mechanical properties, water resistance, and thermal and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated on specimens prepared by injection molding of these blends. The melt flowability of soy-based plastics was improved through blending with PLA. Sc...
