Offshore structures such as jacket platforms have to inevitably be designed against  sever  environmental actions. In seismically active areas these structures also become susceptible to earthquake excitations. Strong ground motions recorded  in recent earthquakes, including the 1995 Kobe, Japan, 1999 Chi-chi, Taiwan and 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquakes, revealed that the dynamic motions in nea...

Unified Multi-Cue Depth Estimation from Light-Field Images: Correspondence, Defocus, Shading, and Specularity

spatial correspondence A systematic relationship falling short of registry between the unimodal receptive field locations in individual multimodal neurons. Correspondence can also occur between the receptive fields of neighboring unimodal neurons that respond to different modalities. linear function A function f(x)1⁄4mx, wherem is a constant. Linear functions have the property of superimposibil...

We define a generalized Springer correspondence for the group GL(n) over any field. We also determine the cuspidal pairs, and compute the correspondence explicitly. Finally we define a stratification of the category of equivariant perverse sheaves on the nilpotent cone of GL(n) satisfying the ‘recollement’ properties, and with subquotients equivalent to categories of representations of a produc...

Shape correspondence is the foundation for accurate statistical shape analysis; this is usually accomplished by identifying a set of sparsely sampled and well-corresponded landmark points across a population of shape instances. However, most available shape correspondence methods can only effectively deal with complete-shape correspondence, where a one-to-one mapping is assumed between any two ...

We report on progress towards an attempt to understand the representations of infinite dimensional groups that arise from quantum field theories on Riemann surfaces. We consider some examples that arise from the correspondence between chiral Potts integrable models and monopoles established by Atiyah and Murray and explore the Fermi-Bose correspondence on a general Riemann surface. Mathematics ...

Longitudinal brain morphometric studies designed for data acquisition at a single MRI field strength can be seriously limited by system replacements from lower to higher field strength. Merging data across field strengths has not been endorsed for a variety of reasons, yet the ability to combine such data would broaden longitudinal investigations. To determine whether structural T1-weighted MRI...

Here, we present a “holographic” reconstruction of bulk spacetime geometry using correlation functions massless field living at the “future boundary” spacetime, namely future null infinity [Formula: see text]. It is holographic in sense that there exists one-to-one correspondence between four-dimensional text] and those another three-dimensional boundary The idea to first reconstruct metric by ...
