This article advocates factorized and hybrid dimensional decompositions (FDD/HDD), as alternatives to analysis-of-variance dimensional decomposition (ADD), for second-moment statistical analysis of multivariate functions. New formulas revealing the relationships between component functions of FDD and ADD are proposed. While ADD or FDD is relevant when a function is strongly additive or strongly...

Traditionally, horizontal cleavage meniscus tears have been associated with osteoarthritis, indicative of the degenerative process. Recent treatment measures have focused on maintaining as much meniscal tissue as possible, despite the routine extension of these tears into the central white-white zones. In the absence of tunnel drilling for cruciate ligament reconstructions, the use of an exogen...

The purpose of this research is to use the visual inspection technique for the automatic tool wear measurement of different coated drills. The tool wear images with the different coated drilling are captured using a machine vision system incorporating with an effective vertex detection algorithm based on subpixel edge detector and Gaussian filter is presented. The results show that the proposed...
