We describe MSR SPLAT, a toolkit for language analysis that allows easy access to the linguistic analysis tools produced by the NLP group at Microsoft Research. The tools include both traditional linguistic analysis tools such as part-of-speech taggers, constituency and dependency parsers, and more recent developments such as sentiment detection and linguistically valid morphology. As we expand...

Abstract Under cold spray conditions, the modified Johnson–Cook model was adopted to perform single and multiple particle simulation for spherical elongated aluminum alloy- Al-6061 feedstock particles. The splat formations were realistically presented; temperature evolution throughout deposition process stayed below melting point of Al-6061, particles exhibited restitution impact velocities low...

This thesis presents a comparison of high-speed rendering algorithms for the application in 2D/3D-image registration in radiation oncology. Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is a technique for improving the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation by adapting the treatment plan to the current situation using 2D/3D-image registration. To accelerate this procedure, also rendering of Digita...

The objective of this study was to mimic the microstructure of MCrAlY coatings sprayed using HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) processes by using an Air Plasma Spray (APS) process in order to improve oxidation and spallation life of MCrAlY APS coatings. Figure 1 shows the typical microstructures obtained when spraying bond coats using the (a) HVOF process, and (b) the APS process. The microstructur...

Semiochemicals are naturally occurring, species-specific molecules exploited for inter and intra-specific communication between an insect its environment. In pest management, these semiochemicals used mainly to modulate the behaviour of target pest, wherein development resistance in pests is almost absent. recent past, sex pheromones have been employed management through a novel technique, Spec...

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) based on Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) deposited by the solution precursor plasma spray (SPPS) technique have been claimed to exhibit superior durability compared to conventional plasma spraying and even electron-beam physical vapor deposition. This has been attributed to the interesting features, like vertical cracks, nanosized pores, and fine splats that are...

Abstract The properties of thermally sprayed coatings depend heavily on their microstructure. microstructure is determined by the dynamics impact droplets substrate surface and subsequent overlapping previously solidified deformed droplets. Substrate preparation prior to spraying ensures strong adhesion coating. This includes roughening preheating surface. In present study, smoothed particle hy...

Purpose: We are exploring the utility of Constant Scale Natural Boundary (CSNB) maps [1,2,3,4] for revealing surface morphology [5,6,7,8,9] and patterns in the distribution of depositional and erosional features on 433 Eros [10], a typical larger asteroid. Constant Scale Natural Boundary Mapping of Impact-driven Morphologies: The Constant Scale Natural Boundary (CSNB) mapping method produces ma...
