in this paper, a novel patch geodesic derivative pattern (pgdp) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3d images with different pose and expression variations. an extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available bosphorus and bu-3...

The problems of modeling processes and systems the economy are considered, optimal control problem is posed, system nonlinear differential equations representing optimized target functional determined; a variational method for solving chosen, principle invariance possibilities provided by them dynamic, including economic, described. A critical analysis state in field economic given. features pr...

Motivated by symplectic geometry, we give a detailed account of differential forms and currents on orbifolds with corners, the pull-back push-forward operations, their fundamental properties. We work within formalism where category corners is obtained as localization etale proper groupoids corners. Constructions proofs are formulated in terms structure maps groupoids, avoiding use orbifold char...

in this paper a new method is proposed for interpretation of 2d magnetic data, using multiples of the analytic signal method, in which the analytic signal of magnetic anomaly is used directly to compute the depth and the structural index of the source instead of using its higher order derivatives. this method only needs the computation of the first order derivatives of the magnetic anomaly, so ...

for every $1leq s< n$, the $s^{th}$ derivative of a polynomial $p(z)$ of degree $n$ is a polynomial $p^{(s)}(z)$ whose degree is $(n-s)$. this paper presents a result which gives generalizations of some inequalities regarding the $s^{th}$ derivative of a polynomial having zeros outside a circle. besides, our result gives interesting refinements of some well-known results.

acylisothiocyanate (1) was allowed to react with benzylidene malononitrile producing oxazine derivative (2). also, compound (1) was reacted with sodium azide followed by refluxing with sodium ethoxide affording thiazinotetrazole derivative (4). the reaction of acetylacetone with compound (1) gave pyridine derivative (5) by intramolecular cycloaddition while it was reacted with n-methyl aniline ...

A study on the behavior of off-site AC power failure recovery times at three nuclear plant sites is presented. It is shown, that power law is appropriate for the representation of failure frequency-duration correlation function of off-site power failure events, based on simple assumptions about component failure and repair rates. It is also found that the annual maxima of power failure duration...
