• An improved level-set model is proposed for honing groove feature segmentation. The Heaviside function approximated using a piecewise linear function. A 30% accuracy improvement over the best-tested algorithms has been observed. folder metal characterization case study validates algorithm’s performance. Honing features of cylinder liner surface contain helpful information on Traditional evalu...

Honing processes are usually employed to manufacture combustion engine cylinders and hydraulic cylinders. provides a crosshatch pattern that favors the oil flow. In this paper, Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models were obtained for tool wear, average roughness Ra, cylindricity material removal rate in finishing honing processes. addition, multi-objective optimization with desir...

Honing processes are abrasive machining which commonly employed to improve the surface of manufactured parts such as hydraulic or combustion engine cylinders. These can be obtain a cross-hatched pattern on internal surfaces In this present study, fuzzy artificial neural networks for modeling roughness parameters obtained in finishing honing operations. As general trend, main factors influencing...

While in an earlier commentary (Honing & Ladinig, 2008) we stressed the potential of Web-delivered experiments for music perception research, the ongoing discussion on Web-based versus lab-based studies seems to circle around issues of method and control (Mehler, 1999; Kendall, 2008). We agree with the importance of these issues from a methodological point of view. However, we continue to stres...

Categorical perception is a well studied phenomenon in, for example, colour perception, phonetics and music. In this article we implement a dynamical systems model of categorical rhythm perception based on the resonance theory of rhythm perception developed by Large (2010). This model is used to simulate the categorical choices of participants in two experiments of Desain and Honing (2003). The...

Categorization of rhythmic patterns is prevalent in musical practice, an example of this being the transcription of (possibly not strictly metrical) music into musical notation. In this article we implement a dynamical systems' model of rhythm categorization based on the resonance theory of rhythm perception developed by Large (2010). This model is used to simulate the categorical choices of pa...

Cyber Mission Resilience (CMR) is a significant step in the evolution of IT security. Not only does it reduce the complexity and cost of securing today’s IT systems, it helps prioritize security-related activities. The focus on mission resilience extends the scope of past security practices while simultaneously honing in on mission-critical systems, networks, and processes. This article explore...
