In the Shape from Shading methods, an extended approach named Uni-directional Photometric Flow Fields is proposed in this paper. The reflectance property of the surface material is the uniform perfect diffuser, and the light source produces a uniform parallel beam and the illuminating direction is varied slightly only in the azimuth direction. The local surfacc orientation can be determined fro...

We give error estimates for the approximation of a laminated microstructure which minimizes the energy R (rv(x))dx for a rotationally invariant, double well energy density (A). We present error estimates for the convergence of the deformation in L; the convergence of directional derivatives of the deformation in the \twin planes," the weak convergence of the deformation gradient, the convergenc...

CBT and PIM-SM are two typical intradomain multicast routing protocols. However, CBT lacks efficient member management mechanism such as admission control and authentication for senders of multicast group, and PIM-SM lacks robustness. This paper proposes a ne one, which can effectively solve the both problems through admitting senders at multiple cores and transporting packets towards uni-direc...

In general, a biological nervous system consists of two major parts, i.e., a motor control subsystem and a sensory reception subsystem, and they work together cooperatively as direct-inverse transformation. Paying attention to this bi-directional computing manner, it is essential to perform various kinds of complex activities. Also, it must be important in most application-oriented tasks. In or...

Solar light induced interfacial charge transfer of electrons from TiO2 to CuO in a water-glycerol mixture produced 99,823 μmol h(-1) g(-1)catalyst of hydrogen gas. The dispersed CuO/TiO2 photocatalyst in solution exhibited uni-directional electron flow and capture at the Schottky barrier facilitating charge separation and electron transfer resulting in enhanced H2 production performance.
