in this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. this strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. from the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...

PURPOSE We investigated the temporal variation of the induced magnetic field due to the transverse and the longitudinal gradient coils in tungsten collimators arranged in hexagonal and pentagonal geometries with and without gaps between the collimators. METHODS We modeled x-, y-, and z-gradient coils and different arrangements of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) collimators ...

Many image processing methods such as corner detection, optical flow and iterative enhancement make use of image tensors. Generally, these tensors are estimated using the structure tensor. In this work we show that the gradient energy tensor can be used as an alternative to the structure tensor in several cases. We apply the gradient energy tensor to common image problem applications such as co...

hard magnetic srfe12o19 (srm) nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile sonochemical reaction. the magnetic nanoparticles were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and poly sulfone to make magnetic nanocomposites. the magnetic properties of the samples were also investigated using an alternating gradient force magnetometer. the strontium ferrite nanopartic...

Group analyses of DT-MRI data have so far focused on comparison of scalar variables derived from the tensor, such as the trace or anisotropy. An increasingly popular approach is to spatially normalise such scalar data sets and perform comparisons on a voxel-by-voxel basis. Here, we show how this approach can be extended to comparisons of the whole tensor and suggest statistical measures for cha...

Local curvature represents an important shape parameter of space curves which are well described by differential geometry. We have developed an estimator for local curvature of space curves embedded in nD grey-value images. There is neither a segmentation of the curve needed nor a parametric model assumed. Our estimator works on the orientation field of the space curve. This orientation field a...

NiMn2O4 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared through sol-gel method. The effects of different factors such as the type of solvent, and amino acid temperature were investigated on the size and morphologies of products. The smallest particle size of NiMn2O4 nanoparticles was found to be 25 nm in diameter. The magnetic properties of the samples were also measured by an alternating gradien...
