We give an axiomatic framework for proving that the norm residue map is an isomorphism (i.e., for settling the motivic Bloch-Kato conjecture). This framework is a part of the Voevodsky-Rost program.

We present a new algorithm in order to compute the multidimensional residue of a polynomial map based on a perturbation argument and the Generalized Transformation Law. Then we use it for studying some fundamental problems in Computer Aided Geometric Design.

We introduce a generic and efficient method for 2D and 3D shape estimation via density Þelds. Our method models shape as a density map and uses the notion of density to Þt a model to a rapidly computed occupancy map of the foreground object. We show how to utilize hierarchical (pyramid-like) object segmentation data to regularize a hierarchical model Þtting. With primary focus on estimating 3D ...

In this paper, the El-Hames empirical method was used to determine the peak runoff flow in Iranshahr catchment. The El-Hames method is based on morphological parameters and SCS Curve Number of the studied area. The implementing was processed by collecting the required data including soil type and vegetation cover, land use maps, digital elevation model and satellite images from the associated i...

We studied the use of gas curve subtraction to distinguish between two fractions soluble in neutral detergent solution. Samples of unfractionated (whole) forage, residue insoluble in 90% ethanol, and isolated NDF were fermented in vitro, and gas production was monitored. The gas volume associated with the ethanol solubles (A fraction) was determined as the difference between the gas from the wh...

A technique for segmentation of images of baked good is presented. The technique employs a Self-Organising Map to identify the characteristic colour development curve (bake curve) for each product. Segmentation is based upon the colour information contained in the bake curve. The technique is trained with only positive exemplars of the product.
