This paper presents an efficient iris segmentation algorithm. It uses an improved circular Hough transform to detect the inner boundary and the integro-differential operator to detect the outer boundary of iris from a given eye image. Search space of the standard circular Hough transform is reduced from three dimensions (center coordinates and radius) to only one dimension, which is the radius....

abstract: in this paper, nonlocal euler–bernoulli beam theory is employed for transverse vibration analysis of an initially pre-stressed size-dependent rotating nanotube. the nonlocal eringen theory takes into account the effect of small size, which enables the present model to become effective in the analysis and design of nanosensors and nanoactuators. governing equations are derived through ...

to date, a number of numerical methods, including the popular finite-difference time domain (fdtd) technique, have been proposed to simulate ground-penetrating radar (gpr) responses. despite having a number of advantages, the finite-difference method also has pitfalls such as being very time consuming in simulating the most common case of media with high dielectric permittivity, causing the for...

In this paper, we apply the differential transform (DT) method for finding approximate solution of the system of linear and nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations with variable coefficients, especially of higher order. We also obtain an error bound for the approximate solution. Since, in this method the coefficients of Taylor series expansion of solution is obtained by a recurrence r...

In this paper an approximate analytical solution of the fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations will be obtained with the help of the reduced differential transform method (RDTM). It is in-dicated that the solutions obtained by the RDTM are reliable and present an effective method for strongly nonlinear fractional partial differential equations.

In this paper, we study the numerical solution of hybrid fuzzy differential equations by using differential transformation method (DTM). This is powerful method which consider the approximate solution of a nonlinear equation as an infinite series usually converging to the accurate solution. Several numerical examples are given and by comparing the numerical results obtained from DTM  and  predi...

there are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. in this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using gr logs. second approximation level (a2) of gr log gained...
