The orientation space transform is a concept that can deal with multiple oriented structures at a single location. In this paper we extend the orientation space transform to 3D images producing a 5D orientation space (x, y, z, φ, θ). We employ a tunable, orientation selective quadrature filter to detect edges and planes and a separate filter for detecting lines. We propose a multi-resolution sa...

The program mutation is a testing technique that assesses the quality of test input data by examining whether the test data can distinguish a set of alternate programs (representing specific types of faults) from the program under test. We have extended the conventional mutation method to be applicable for object-oriented (OO) programs. The method, termed Class Mutation, is a form of OO-directe...

A new method is proposed to prepare micron-sized anisotropic-shaped particles: tetrahedral structures bounded by 〈1 1 1〉 faces. It is based on the micromachining of 〈1 1 1〉-oriented silicon wafers and retraction edge lithography (REL). The size of these Si structures is tunable but limited: roughly from 20 to 2000 nm. The importance of this method is that the fabricated structure resembles almo...

Abstract A method is proposed to identify the fully anisotropic elasticity tensor by applying impulse excitation technique. specially designed batch of several differently oriented bar-shaped specimens with rectangular cross section analyzed respect eigenfrequencies their fundamental flexural and torsional modes. Estimations based on equations for calculation isotropic Young’s modulus shear fro...

Aimed at overcoming the disadvantages of traditional selective assembly and improving the manufacturing processes of mating parts, a new approach of information-based manufacturing for the mating parts of selective assembly via a coordinated statistical tolerancing (ST) and SPC model is presented. On the basis of studies on quality indices and process capability index (PCI), particularly, the m...

Simulating molecules using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver method is one of promising applications for NISQ-era quantum computers. Designing an efficient ansatz to represent electronic wave function crucial in such simulations. Standard unitary coupled-cluster with singles and doubles (UCCSD) tends have a large number insignificant terms that do not lower energy system. In this work, we pre...

new selective coating materials are developed and used in advanced solar collector and absorber designs with improved efficiency. cobalt and copper sulfides nanoparticles are high interest for absorbers of solar thermal collectors due to their optical properties and high absorptance in the solar wavelength range (> 96%). in the present work, cobalt and copper sulfides nanoparticles were synthes...
