Rapid retreat of Arctic sea ice extends the area open ocean for new trans-Arctic shipping routes. However, projected routes may be too optimistic in terms savings costs from shortened distances as they do not consider increased fog frequency (SFF) over areas retreating ice. We show that delays due to can 1–4 days, about 23%–27% along Northwest Passage and 4%–11% Northern Sea Route than previous...

We study the spectral form factor (SFF) of general topological gravity in limit large time and fixed temperature. It has been observed recently that this limit, called tau-scaling genus expansion SFF can be summed up late-time behavior such as ramp-plateau transition studied analytically. In paper we develop a technique for systematic computation higher order corrections to strict limit. obtain...

A pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical acceptance of prosthetic limb sockets manufactured using solid freeform fabrication (SFF). The fabrication of sockets for amputees is a natural application for SFF. The socket is the part of the prosthetic limb that fits onto the amputee’s residual limb. Each socket is custom manufactured for each individual amputee. Four amputees were succe...

Spectral feature fitting (SFF) is a commonly used strategy for hyperspectral imagery analysis to discriminate ground targets. Compared to other image analysis techniques, SFF does not secure higher accuracy in extracting image information in all circumstances. Multi range spectral feature fitting (MRSFF) from ENVI software allows user to focus on those interesting spectral features to yield bet...

This decision focused on the impact of Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (28 2002, hereinafter “MPRDA”) an old-order mining right (based upon a mineral lease) which had been converted into in terms transitional arrangements Schedule II MPRDA. In particular, court held that consideration form (contractual) royalty, as provided for lease, remains payable conversion by its former hol...

Random matrix models provide a phenomenological description of vast variety physical phenomena. Prominent examples include the eigenvalue statistics quantum (chaotic) systems, which are characterized by spectral form factor (SFF). Here, we calculate SFF unitary ensembles infinite order with weight function satisfying assumptions Szeg"{o}’s limit theorem. We then consider parameter-dependent cri...

This paper is concerned with the systems aspects of the Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) technology, i.e., the issues that deal with getting an external geometric CAD model to automatically control the physical layering fabrication process as directly as possible, regardless of the source of the model. The general systems issues are described, the state of systems research is given, and open re...

To successfully control the welding process and to make it appropriate for solid freeform fabrication (SFF), it is necessary to fully understand the influence of the welding parameters and the geometry of the substrate on the resulting weld bead dimensions. Extensive experiments with different welding parameters and complex geometrical features such as edges and corners have been designed and c...
