The growing adoption of generalized-ensemble algorithms for biomolecular simulation has resulted in a resurgence in the use of the weighted histogram analysis method (WHAM) to make use of all data generated by these simulations. Unfortunately, the original presentation of WHAM by Kumar et al. is not directly applicable to data generated by these methods. WHAM was originally formulated to combin...

Tail estimates are developed for power law probability distributions with exponential tempering using a conditional maximum likelihood approach based on the upper order statistics. The method is demonstrated on simulated data from a tempered stable distribution, and for several data sets from geophysics and finance that show a power law probability tail with some tempering.

This paper describes a novel automated inspection process for tempered safety glass. The system is geared toward the European Community (EC) import regulations which are based on fragment count and dimensions in a fractured glass sample. The automation of this test presents two key challenges: image acquisition, and robust particle segmentation. The image acquisition must perform well both for ...

Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) are one of the fundamental building blocks of deep learning. Approximate maximum likelihood training of RBMs typically necessitates sampling from these models. In many training scenarios, computationally efficient Gibbs sampling procedures are crippled by poor mixing. In this work we propose a novel method of sampling from Boltzmann machines that demonstrate...

A strategy combining intercritical quenching, pre-tempering, and tempering processes was implemented to optimize the microstructures mechanical properties of 5CrNiMoV steel. By intercritically quenching at 1050 °C, pr-tempering 600 550 steel exhibited a comprehensive performance with yield strength 1120 MPa, an ultimate tensile 1230 elongation 8.2%. The high is attributed presence tempered mart...

in this study the efficacy of intermittent and continuous drying processes on fissuring of hashemi and koohsar varieties was investigated. the fissuring of the kernels was assessed based on stress cracking index (sci). the experiments were carried out at drying and tempering temperatures of 30, 45 and 60 °c, drying durations of 20, 40 and 60 min, and constant tempering duration of 80 min. in co...

Abstract Infolge variierender Produktionsbedingungen erfolgt der thermische Vorspannprozess von Gläsern nicht vollständig homogen. Daraus entstehen lokale Unterschiede in den Eigenspannungen. Um die statistischen Verteilungen charakterisierenden Größen des Eigenspannungsprofils thermisch vorgespanntem Flachglas zu bestimmen, wurden mehr als 100 Proben mit einem Streulicht‐Polariskop (SCALP) unt...

This work is mainly concerning with effects of Carbon, Nickel and vanadium on mechanical properties low alloy wear resistant steel. the results showed that The experimental steels yielded their best comprehensive at 940 °C quenching 200 tempering for 0.33 wt% C steel, 220°C 0.38 920°C 230 0.4 respectively.3% Ni steel property 900 tempering, while 5% was 920 tempering.

Knowledge of relaxation processes is fundamental in glass science and technology because intrinsically related to vitrification, tempering as well annealing several applications glasses. However, there are conflicting reports—summarized here for different glasses—on whether the structural time can be calculated using Maxwell equation, which relates with shear viscosity modulus. Hence, this stud...
