We propose a new approach for the extraction of cartoons from 2D aerial images. Particularly in city areas, these images are mainly characterized by rectangular geometries of locally varying orientation. The presented method is based on a joint classification of the shape orientation and a rectangular structure preserving prior in the restoration of image shapes. Mathematically, an anisotropic ...

We present and analyze a simpliied, scale-separated, anelastic uid model which is designed to assess the innuence of weak compressibility in the diiusive transport of a passive scalar. Our model incorporates a slowly varying, density induced, anisotropy into a xed, rapidly varying (small scale) uid ow. This anisotropy is physically motivated through the anelastic mass balance which retains vert...

Geostatistical modeling of reservoir properties is common in the assessment of expected reservoir flow. Typically, static properties such as porosity, saturation and permeability are modeled with geostatistical techniques to quantify the level of uncertainty in reservoir characterization. Lately, practitioners have become concerned that purely statistical techniques do not sufficiently integrat...

In this study, the behavior of magnetized strange quark matter (MSQM) distribution in Lyra theory was investigated for homogeneous anisotropic Bianchi III, locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) I, and Kantowski-Sachs universe models. We have used equations state, anisotropy, linearly varying deceleration parameters to obtain exact solutions field theory. When switching from model isotropic model...

The kinetic theory is formulated with respect to anholonomic frames of reference on curved spacetimes. By using the concept of nonlinear connection we develop an approach to modelling locally anisotropic kinetic processes and, in corresponding limits, the relativistic non–equilibrium thermodynamics with local anisotropy. This lead to a unified formulation of the kinetic equations on (pseudo) Ri...

Realistic stochastic simulation of hydro-environmental fluxes in space and time, such as rainfall, is challenging yet paramount importance to inform environmental risk analysis decision making under uncertainty. Here, we advance random fields by introducing the concepts general velocity anisotropy transformations. This expands capabilities so-called Complete Stochastic Modeling Solution (CoSMoS...

Abstract La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (LSMO) thin films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO using combinatorial substrate epitaxy (CSE) approach, i.e. polycrystalline substrates with micrometer-size grains. The crystallographic domains size of those can be controlled between 2 and 45 µ m depending the annealing temperature during synthesis. Each grain acts as a single crystalline growt...

a complete linear theory in four dimensional space-time is constructed for propagation and coupling of electromagnetic waves in the most general case, i.e. media where all three space directions are in homogeneous and where temporal changes, anisotropy and absorbtion are also included. the only condition is that the properties of the medium should be slowly varying, although it is assumed that ...

We have studied the easy-axis reorientation of Ni/Pd multilayer with varying Ar sputtering pressure. All the Ni/Pd multilayers prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering at an Ar sputtering pressure of 2 mTorr show in-plane magnetic anisotropy. However, room-temperature perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was observed in Ni/Pd multilayers prepared at an Ar sputtering pressure of 7 mTorr. To understand t...

Current methods for extracting models of white matter architecture from diffusion tensor MRI are generally based on fiber tractography. For some purposes a compelling alternative may be found in analyzing the first and second derivatives of diffusion anisotropy. Anisotropy creases are ridges and valleys of locally extremal anisotropy, where the gradient of anisotropy is orthogonal to one or mor...
