A rapid and convenient method was developed to determine the polar components (PC) of frying oil by Fourier-transform near-infrared (FTNIR) spectroscopy. One hundred twenty six oil samples were used to PC determination by column chromatography and FTNIR spectroscopy combined with partial least-square (PLS) calibration. The optimal PLS calibration was obtained after the Savitzky-Golay smoothing ...

for an indoor non-directed line of sight optical wireless communication (nlos-owc) system we investigate the optimized lambertian order (olo) of light-emitting diodes (leds). we firstly derive an expression for the olo from a conventional lambertian led model. then, we analyze the indoor multi-cell nlos-owc channel characteristics including the optical power distribution and the multipath time ...

A Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) is a well-known learning algorithmpredicated on a gradient descent method that minimizes the square error involving the networkoutput and the goal of output values. In this study, 261 GPS/Leveling and 8869 gravity intensityvalues of Iran were selected, then the geoid with three methods “ellipsoidal stokes integral”,“BPANN”, and “collocation” ...

BACKGROUND The coefficients of normalized Zernike expansion are orthogonal and reflect the relative contribution of each mode to the total root mean square (RMS) wavefront error. The relationship between the level of RMS wavefront error within a mode and its effect on visual performance is unknown. PURPOSE To determine for various levels of RMS wavefront error how each mode of the normalized ...

Image focus analysis is an important technique for passive autofocusing and three-dimensional shape measurement. Electronic noise in digital images introduces errors in this technique. It is therefore important to derive robust focus measures that minimize error. In our earlier research, we have developed a method for noise sensitivity analysis of focus measures. In this paper we derive explici...
