We summarise the construction of exact axisymmetric scalediscretised wavelets on the sphere and on the ball. The wavelet transform on the ball relies on a novel 3D harmonic transform called the Fourier-Laguerre transform which combines the spherical harmonic transform with damped Laguerre polynomials on the radial half-line. The resulting wavelets, called flaglets, extract scale-dependent, spat...

Facial recognition and expression analysis is rapidly becoming an area of intense interest in computer science and humancomputer interaction design communities. The most expressive way humans display emotions is through facial expressions. In this paper skin and non-skin pixels were separated. Face regions were extracted from the detected skin regions. Facial expressions are analyzed from facia...

The current study explores for the first time contrasts and similarities between elemental (Na, Mg, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb) composition of pines that grow in a polluted industrialized area, located close to steelworks, growing comparative site, far from industry. Radial trace element profiles were determined by LA-ICPMS. results are compared with rainfall load at monitoring station Katowice, neares...

In this work for the first time, Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles functionalized with isatin groups as a magnetic nanosorbent was applied for the simultaneous extraction of trace amounts of cadmium (II). The characterization of this nanosorbentwas studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of seve...

In the following paper, free vibration analysis of two directional FGM circular nano-plate on the elastic medium is investigated. The elastic modulus of plate varies in both radial and thickness directions. Eringen’s theory was employed to the analysis of circular nano-plate with variation in material properties. Simultaneous variations of the material properties in the radial and transverse di...

This paper developed a systematic strategy establishing RBF on the wavelet analysis, which includes continuous and discrete RBF orthonormal wavelet transforms respectively in terms of singular fundamental solutions and nonsingular general solutions of differential operators. In particular, the harmonic Bessel RBF transforms were presented for high-dimensional data processing. It was also found ...

Migration in the angle domain creates seismic images for different reflection angles. We present a method for computing angle-domain common-image gathers from seismic images obtained by depth migration using wavefield continuation. Our method operates on prestack migrated images and produces the output as a function of the reflection angle, not as a function of offset ray parameter as in other ...

In this paper, buckling and free vibration analysis of a circular tapered nanoplate subjected to in-plane forces were studied. The linear variation of the plate thickness was considered in radial direction. Nonlocal elasticity theory was employed to capture size-dependent effects. The Raleigh-Ritz method and differential transform method were utilized to obtain the frequency equations for simpl...
