Grinding is one of the effective manufacturing processes with which to produce highly accurate parts an ultra-fine surface finish. The tool used remove materials in grinding called wheel. Abrasive grains made extremely hard (alumina, silica, cubic boron nitride, and diamond) having a definite grit size but random shape are bonded on circumferential fabrication process controlled so that wheel e...

Forest topsoil supports vegetation growth and contains the majority of soil nutrients that are important indices of soil fertility and quality. Therefore, estimating forest topsoil properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (Total N), pH, litter-organic (O-A) horizon depth (Depth) and available phosphorous (AvaP), is of particular importance for forest development and managem...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of topography and tomography indices combined in discriminant functions to detect mild ectatic corneas. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the data of 143 eyes separated into three groups by the Corneal Navigator OPD scanning system (Nidek, Gamagori, Japan): normal (N; LASIK surgery with a 2-year follow-up; n = 72), forme fruste keratoconus (N top...

In this paper, we present the system developed by GTMUVigo team for the Multimedia Person Discovery in Broadcast TV task at MediaEval 2016. The proposed approach consists in a novel strategy for person discovery which is not based on speaker and face diarisation as in previous works. In this system, the task is approached as a person recognition problem: there is an enrolment stage, where the v...

PURPOSE To model keratoconus (KC) progression and investigate the differential responses of central and eccentric cones to standard and alternative collagen cross-linking (CXL) patterns. METHODS Three-dimensional finite element models (FEMs) were generated with clinical tomography and IOP measurements. Graded reductions in regional corneal hyperelastic properties and thickness were imposed se...

Topography is a major factor controlling both hydrological and soil processes at the landscape scale. This is well-known qualitatively in that topography, along with parent material, climate, biota, and time, is one of the fundamental soil forming factors. The topographic influence is also apparent in the soil catena concept. Digital elevation models (DEMs) and topographic indices calculated fr...
