We calculate the rate at which angular momentum and energy are transferred between a disk and a satellite which orbit the same central mass. A satellite which moves on a circular orbit exerts a torque on the disk only in the immediate vicinity of its Lindblad resonances. The direction of angular momentum transport is outward, from disk material inside the satellite's orbit to the satellite and ...

The effect of eccentricity on absolute instabilities (AI) in the Taylor–Couette system with pressure-driven axial flow and fixed outer cylinder is investigated. Five modes of instability are considered, characterized by a pseudo-angular order m, with here |m| 6 2. These modes correspond to toroidal (m = 0) and helical structures (m 6= 0) deformed by the eccentricity. Throughout the parameter ra...

The most frequently observed focal conic domains (FCD's) in lamellar phases are those based on confocal paris of ellipse and hyperbola. Experimentally, the eccentricity of the ellipse takes a broad range of values 0</=e<1. We present an analytical expression for the curvature energy of a FCD that is valid in the entire range 0</=e<1. Generally, the curvature energy of an isolated FCD reaches a ...

a novel hybrid multifocus image fusion method. First, the source multifocus images are decomposed using the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT). The low-frequency sub-band coefficients are fused by the sum-modified-Laplacian-based local visual contrast, whereas the high-frequency sub-band coefficients are fused by the local Log-Gabor energy. The initial fused image is subsequently reconst...

in this paper, we try to find a particular combination of wavelet shrinkage and nonlinear diffusion for noise removal in dental images. we selected the wavelet diffusion and modified its automatic threshold selection by proposing new models for speckle related modulus. the laplacian mixture model and circular symmetric laplacian mixture models were evaluated and as it could be expected, the lat...
