piezoelectric microcantilevers (mcs) are a new generation of microbeams used in atomic force microscopes (afms). due to their miniaturization of afms as well as their increased imaging precision and speed, these mcs are more popular than their classical counterparts. given the widespread application of these beams in nanoparticle topography, analysis of their vibrating motion has attracted much...

purpose : to assess the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) methods : 15 eyes of 8 patients with ms (2 men and 6 women) who referred for myopia treatment (with or without astigmatism) were undergone lasik. after refractive and visual acuity examinations, topographic and pachymetry screening, intraocular pressure (iop) measurement, biomicrosc...

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the method of choice for learning problems involving 2D planar images. However, a number of problems of recent interest have created a demand for models that can analyze spherical images. Examples include omnidirectional vision for drones, robots, and autonomous cars, molecular regression problems, and global weather and climate modelling. A naiv...

This paper proposes nonparametric deconvolution density estimation over S 2. Here we would think of the S 2 elements of interest being corrupted by random SO(3) elements (rotations). The resulting density on the observations would be a convolution of the SO(3) density with the true S 2 density. Consequently, the methodology, as in the Euclidean case, would be to use Fourier analysis on SO(3) an...

We present evidence that N = 1 * SUSY Yang-Mills provides a decon-struction of a six-dimensional gauge theory compactified on a two-sphere. The six-dimensional theory is a twisted compactification of N = (1, 1) SUSY Yang-Mills theory of the type considered by Maldacena and Nunez (MN) in [1]. In particular, we calculate the full classical spectrum of the N = 1 * theory with gauge group U (N) in ...

This paper presents an exact analytical solution for two-dimensional conductive heat transfer in spherical composite pressure vessels .The vessels are in spherical shape and fibers are winded in circumferential direction. The analytical solution is obtained under the general boundary conditions which consist of convection, conduction and radiation inside/outside of vessel. The heat transfer equ...

Background: Biotic and abiotic elicitors produce secondary metabolites and alter physiological traits of the plants by affecting some of the mechanisms within the plant cells. Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of spherical nano-carbon and salicylic acid on physiological traits and paratolenolidae content in Feverfew. Methods: This research ...
