The Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) based lithographic techniques have been demonstrated as an extremely capable patterning tool. Manipulating surfaces, creating atomic assembly, fabricating chemical patterns, imaging topography and characterizing various mechanical properties of materials in nanometer regime are enabled by this technique. In this paper, a qualified overview of diverse lithog...

Attorneys, judges, and others in the justice system are constantly surrounded by large amounts of legal text, which can be difficult to manage across many cases. We present CaseSummarizer, a tool for automated text summarization of legal documents which uses standard summary methods based on word frequency augmented with additional domain-specific knowledge. Summaries are then provided through ...

Digital elevation models (DEM) from satellite data are generated mainly from two types of datasets using completely different methods: photogrammetry for optical stereo images (e.g. SPOT5, IKONOS) and interferometry for Synthetic Aperture Radar data (InSAR, e.g. ERS-Tandem, SRTM). Both generation methods show advantages and disadvantages but have similar accuracy values in comparison to a refer...

Simulations of gas-solid fluidized beds have been performed using a hybrid simulation method, which couples the discrete element method (DEM) for particle dynamics with the averaged two-fluid (TF) continuum equations for the gas phase. The coupling between the two phases is modeled using an interphase momentum transfer term. The results of the hybrid TF-DEM simulations are compared to experimen...

Coastal managers require reliable spatial data on the extent and timing of potential coastal inundation, particularly in a changing climate. Most sea level rise (SLR) vulnerability assessments are undertaken using the easily implemented bathtub approach, where areas adjacent to the sea and below a given elevation are mapped using a deterministic line dividing potentially inundated from dry area...

In this paper a method for construction of Digital Elevation Maps (DEM’s) using aerial video image sequences is presented. Using video images sequences implies that many images of relatively low resolution are available. From these image sequences position measurements of point and line features are obtained and measurements of surface orientation. This results in several different types of mea...

The high-resolution Cartosat-1 stereo image data is expected to have significant impact in topographic mapping and watershed applications. The objective of the present investigation is to make an assessment of the potential of the Cartosat-1 data in topographic mapping and generation of DEMs in operational mode using COTS packages. The assessment is based on the entropy analysis of the fore/aft...

The accurate estimation of the hydrologic response in water resources planning and development is crucial. In this study, rainfall-runoff relationship Devgadh Baria watershed Panam river catchment were investigated. Due to limited availability accuracy runoff data, Clark UH, SCS UH models explored for estimation. Remote sensing GIS techniques integrated assess ungauged Middle Gujarat region.&#x...
