VOLUME 37 • SEPTEMBER 2012 • www.mrs.org/bulletin © 2012 Materials Research Society Introduction My personal journey in nanowire research started with Professor Charles Lieber at Harvard University, where I investigated fl ux line pinning in high T c superconductors using nanowires as pinning centers. More than 15 years later, I devote most of my efforts in studying these nanostructures for ene...

This paper attempts to introduce the concept of moment invariance into the classification algorithm based on the morphological boundary extraction and generalized skeleton transform, and tries to propose a new method about shape classification in this field. Firstly, the method extracts boundary of the object, secondly, skeleton using main skeleton extraction algorithm based on visual important...

this paper describes experimental and numerical investigations on two specimens of frames composed of steel reinforced concrete beam and angle-steel concrete column under horizontal low cyclic loading. based on the test results, the relationship curves of the horizontal load-displacement and the failure modes are acquired. meanwhile the hysteretic behaviors, skeleton curves, stiffness degradati...

Excessive consumption of red meat is associated with various diseases including coronary heart diseases and cancer. Lower health-related problems of chicken meat, consumption of chicken meat, and mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) have been increased due to their cheaper prices. Thereby, chemical, microbial, and physical causes of chicken meat losses and the safety aspects are needed to b...

A skeleton is a thin centered structure within an object, which describes its topology and its geometry. The medial surface is one of the most known and used skeleton formulation. As other formulations, it contains noise, which complexifies its structure with useless parts. The connectivity of a skeleton is then unpredictable due to these useless parts. It can be a problem to segment the skelet...
