qareh qeshlaq marble quarry as one of the valuable resources of ornamental stones in west azarbaijan province formed through thermal carbonate springs while its mineral deposit thickness is limited in comparison with surface extension. in the present research, geological and blocky modeling of the marble deposit was carried out in order to develop a production planning for this quarry, identify...

Tree structured belief networks are attractive for image segmentation tasks. However, networks with fixed architectures are not very suitable as they lead to blocky artefacts, and led to the introduction of Dynamic Trees (DTs) in [6]. The Dynamic Trees architecture provides a prior distribution over tree structures, and in [6] simulated annealing (SA) was used to search for structures with high...

Among many approaches been made to improve interpretation of post stack seismic section, a great effort has been made aimed at increasing the resolution power of interpreting section and mapping the seismic reflection data to lithology. The purpose of sparse spike impedance inversion is aimed at this goal, to obtain a high-resolution impedance profile from low resolution or band limited seismic...

Porous NiTi was produced by sintering pre-alloyed NiTi powders (with small Ni addition to form Ni-rich composition) with NaCl powders which are removed to create 40-60 vol.% macropores which are open to the surface, blocky in shape, and 100-400 lm in size. The microporosity present between the NiTi powders is infiltrated by an in situ created NiTi-Nb eutectic liquid which, after solidification,...

The dinuclear complex Cp*2Os2Br4 (Cp* ) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and related mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)osmium compounds are catalysts for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene. The most active catalyst prepared to date is made by treatment of Cp*2Os2Br4 with methylaluminoxane. This catalyst polymerizes norbornene with yields up to 167 kg of polymer per mol o...

An adaptive quantization algorithm for MPEG-2 video coding using neural network is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm uses BP neural network to divide the macroblock activity into one of four categories: flat. edge. texture. fine-texture. and thus the macroblock can be quantized adaptively according to the human vision system (HVS) sensitivity. Experiment results show that this met...
