Seismicity time properties of the Etna Volcano (Italy) are investigated through a systematic pattern recognition analysis. Mean Hypothesis Testing (MHT) has been applied to a long time database of instrumental data recorded from 1981 to 1996 to identify relevant correlation among seismic patterns, main seismogenic volumes and the eight flank eruptions occured in the same period. Time evolution ...

A quasi-potential approximation to the Navier-Stokes equation for low viscosity uids is developed to study pattern formation in parametric surface waves driven by a force that has two frequency components. A bicritical line separating regions of instability to either one of the driving frequencies is explicitly obtained, and compared with experiments involving a frequency ratio of 1/2. The proc...

Gabor filter-based features have been successfully used for pattern recognition. When using Gabor features, one needs to optimize Gabor filter parameters because the performance of a pattern recognition system with Gabor features depends strongly on the parameter values of the Gabor filter. In this paper, we discuss a method of optimizing Gabor filter parameters for pattern recognition. In expe...

the aim of present study is to investigate the kinematics of tool-workpiece’s relative movement in conventional and ultrasonic-vibration assisted turning (uat). the kinematic analysis of uat shows that the movement of cutting tool edge relative to the workpiece resulted from the cutting speed, feed speed and tool’s vibration affects the lateral machined surface of workepiece and leaves a repeat...

low density polyethylene films incorporating different types of organically modified nanoclays were prepared. physical, surface morphology and mechanical properties of the films were analyzed by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength (ts) and length increase until fracture point (e) parameters, respectively. colony counting method was used to investigate an...

in this paper we develop a new approach for land leveling in order to improve the topology of a large area for irrigation or civil projects. the objective in proposed model is to minimize the total volume of cutting so that technical requirements of land leveling such as suitable slope and standard ratio of cutting to filling and maximum penstock point’s height are considered. we develop a warp...
