In this article, the size effect on the dynamic behavior of a simply supported multi-cracked microbeam is studied based on the Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST).  At first, based on MCST, the equivalent torsional stiffness spring for every open edge crack at its location is calculated; in this regard, the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is al...

The edge detour index polynomials were recently introduced for computing the edge detour indices. In this paper we find relations among edge detour polynomials for the 2-dimensional graph of $TUC_4C_8(S)$ in a Euclidean plane and $TUC4C8(S)$ nanotorus.

In this paper, we study both concepts of geodetic dominatingand edge geodetic dominating sets and derive some tight upper bounds onthe edge geodetic and the edge geodetic domination numbers. We also obtainattainable upper bounds on the maximum number of elements in a partitionof a vertex set of a connected graph into geodetic sets, edge geodetic sets,geodetic domin...

 Edge Detection is an important task for sharpening the boundary of images to detect the region of interest. This paper applies a linear cellular automata rules and a Mamdani Fuzzy inference model for edge detection in both monochromatic and the RGB images. In the uniform cellular automata a transition matrix has been developed for edge detection. The Results have been compared to the ...

One of the locations of renal artery atherosclerosis is at the orifice of the renal artery, therefore thestructure of this orifice was assessed in 6 normal, adult male dogs by light microscopy (LM) andtransmission electron microscopy (TEM). For the LM study, processed tissues were embedded in paraffinand sectioned serially into 6-μm thickness. Sections were stained with orcein. For the TEM stud...

Aiming at the disadvantages of edge detail loss and false edges in conventional Canny algorithm, this paper proposes an optimized Canny edge detection algorithm for edge detection of core image by combining self-adaption smooth filtering and self-adaptive threshold value. The algorithm, which retains the advantages of high signal to noise ratio, accurate positioning, single edge single response...

This study has investigated the taxon-specific responses of fauna to patch edges, and how these relate to patch attributes (patch size, seagrass biomass and water depth), and hydrodynamics in the seagrass habitat. Faunal abundances were sampled at the edge, 2 m in from the edge, and in the middle of 10 seagrass patches of variable size in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. Five of nine taxa showed ed...
