Scatter behavior of fatigue life in die-cast AM60B alloy was investigated. For comparison, those in rolled AM60B alloy and die-cast A365-T5 aluminum alloy were also studied. Scatter behavior of pore size was also investigated to discuss dominant factors for fatigue life scatter in die-cast materials. Three-parameter Weibull function was suitable to explain the scatter behavior of both fatigue l...

the electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting hamiltonian anderson tunneling method. in this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. we show that the asymmetric structure of qd-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...

Oja, Sirkiä, and Eriksson (2006) and Ollila, Oja, and Koivunen (2007) showed that, under general assumptions, any two scatter matrices with the so called independent components property can be used to estimate the unmixing matrix for the independent component analysis (ICA). The method is a generalization of Cardoso’s (Cardoso, 1989) FOBI estimate which uses the regular covariance matrix and a ...

Yongxin Zhang, Farhang Farhangfar, Leonard Giblin, David Wolf, Francesca Vitelli, Yu Zhou, Donnie Rudd Abstract—Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are defined by the International Society of Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering (ISHAGE) as those at low side scatter, positive for CD34 and CD45dim for their numeration with flow cytometry. However, we found that these CD34+ cells increase their granula...

Introduction: Image quality and accuracy of in vivo activity quantification in SPECT are affected by collimator penetration and scatter components, especially in high energy imaging. These phenomena highly depend on the collimator characteristic and photon energy. The presence of penetrated and scattered photons from collimator in SPECT images degrades spatial resolution, contr...

In the paper, fuzzy fisherface is extended to image matrix, namely, the fuzzy 2DLDA (F2DLDA). In the proposed method, we calculate the membership degree matrix by fuzzy K-nearest neighbor (FKNN), and then incorporate the membership degree into the definition of the between-class scatter matrix and the within-class scatter matrix. Finally, we get the fuzzy between-class scatter matrix and fuzzy ...

Excessive imaging dose from repeated scans and poor image quality mainly due to scatter contamination are the two bottlenecks of cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging. Compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction algorithms show promises in recovering faithful signals from low-dose projection data but do not serve well the needs of accurate CBCT imaging if effective scatter correction is not in place. Scatter ...
