The bacteria metabolic process of open nonlinear dissipative system far from equilibrium point is modeled using classical methods synergetics. invariant measure and its convergence in the phase space was obtained strange attractor mode. distribution density trajectory intersection cells with maximum time average value obtained. result concluded that an can be a characteristic transitional adapt...

We present a new and efficient method to compute the intersection point between a convex planar quadrilateral and a ray. Contrary to other methods, the bilinear coordinates of the intersection point are computed only for rays that hit the quadrilateral. Rays that do not hit the quadrilateral are rejected early. Our method is up to 40% faster compared to previous approaches.

We explore the geometry linking the shape of a curved mirror surface to the distortions it produces on a scene it reflects. Our analysis is local and differential. We assume a simple calibrated scene composed of lines passing through a point. We demonstrate that local information about the geometry of the surface may be recovered up to the second order from either the orientation and curvature ...

When a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. Upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. However, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always l...
