Abstract I seems to be widely believed that the Fourier and Laplace transforms are simply related to each other. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Fourier transform is the basis for the Hilbert vector-space expansion of signals. The Laplace transform is the basis of system functions, that are causal. The Fourier transform does not naturally include the step function, which must be sh...

quantum dots of cds with hexagonal phase were prepared at relatively low temperature (60 oc) and short time by micro-emulsion (o/w) under ultrasound. this study was focused on the particle size distribution and the growth kinetics. the particle size distribution obtained from the optical absorption edge. it was relatively symmetrical with sonication time. in addition, an agreement was observed ...

three activated carbons are synthesized in a rotary reactor at different activation times. the adsorption isotherms of the samples are measured the pore size distribution of the samples is determined using combined saito and foley method, bjh method. an average potential function has been determined inside the cylindrical pores. the effect of activation time on the pore size distribution sample...

counting the population of insect pests is a key task for planning a successful integrated pest management program. most image processing and machine vision techniques in the literature are very site-specific and cannot be easily re-usable because their performances are highly related to their ground truth data. in this article a new unsupervised image processing method is proposed which is gen...

soil erosion causes sediments to be detached from their source materials and transported as suspended particles. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of sand exploitation on the distribution of suspended sediments in the educational and research forest watershed of tarbiat modares university, which comprises approximately 50,000 ha. fifty-one water samples were collected befo...

Abstract Observations of the precipitation rate/depth, drop size distribution, velocity and type are compared from six in situ sensor designs over 12 months to assess their performance provide a benchmark for future design deployment. The considered tipping bucket (TBR), counting (RAL), acoustic (JWD), optical (LPM), single-angle visiometer with capacitor (PWD21), dual-angle (PWS100). Precipita...

In this paper an attempt has been made to compute cross-polarization of millimeter waves in the 30-35 GHz frequency range due to rain. Laws and Parson’s drop size distributions for oblate spheroid drops at 20°C ITU-R (2002) model has been used to predict cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) for circular polarization. The study includes a number of earth stations in India, namely, Ahmedabad, ...
