We show that discrete tomography (DT) is suitable to increase the possible inspection size of single material oblong objects compared to filtered back projection (FBP) in non-destructive testing (NDT) with 2D X-ray computed tomography (CT). For such objects which are in one dimension larger than the maximum detectable material thickness limited view angles occur and FBP is not suitable for reco...

In fish schools the density varies per location and often individuals are sorted according to familiarity and/or body size. High density is considered advantageous for protection against predators and this sorting is believed to be advantageous not only to avoid predators but also for finding food. In this paper, we list a number of mechanisms and we study, with the help of an individual-based ...
