Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are inherently degraded by multiplicative speckle noise where thresholdingbased methods in the transform domain are appropriate. Being sparse, the coefficients in the transformed domain play a key role in the performance of any thresholding methods. It has been shown that the coefficients of nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST) are sparser than those of ...

This paper presents an X-FEM based iterative framework for numerical simulation of three-dimensional fatigue crack propagation. To accurately describe the geometry, B-spline curves and surfaces are used front faces respectively. A new extension method on Möller–Trumbore algorithm is introduced to achieve fully automated growth complex geometries. validate presented work, three different cases d...

Characterization of explosive volcanic eruptive processes from interpretation of deposits is a key for assessing volcanic hazard and risk, particularly for infrequent large explosive eruptions and those whose deposits are transient in the geological record. While eruption size-determined by measurement and interpretation of tephra fall deposits-is of particular importance, uncertainties for suc...

OBJECTIVE Patients with Wilson's disease (WD) may develop a wide variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms, but there are few reports of autonomic dysfunction. Here, we described evidence of small fiber and/or autonomic dysfunction in 4 patients with WD and levodopa-responsive parkinsonism. METHOD We reviewed the charts of 4 patients with WD who underwent evaluation for the presence of neuromuscul...

It is difficult to accurately reckon vehicle position for vehicle navigation system (VNS) during GPS outages, a novel prediction algorithm of dead reckon (DR) position error is put forward, which based on Bayesian regularization back-propagation (BRBP) neural network. DR, GPS position data are first denoised and compared at different stationary wavelet transformation (SWT) decomposition level, ...

Resolution and contrast are the two important attributes of an image. In this paper we developed a method to enhance the quality of the given image. The enhancement is done both with respect to resolution and contrast. The proposed technique uses DWT and SVD. To increase the resolution, the proposed method uses DWT and SWT. These transforms decompose the given image into four sub-bands, out of ...

Recently, as demonstrated by an antiferromagnetic spin-lattice application, we have successfully extended the coupled-cluster method (CCM) to a variational formalism in which two sets of distribution functions are introduced to evaluate Hamiltonian expectation. We calculated these distribution functions by employing an algebraic scheme. Here we present an alternative calculation based on a diag...
