To improve the permeability of sinter packed bed for achieving efficient utilization low-grade iron bearing minerals, effect returned fines embedding on productivity, yield, flame front speed (FFS) in vanadium titanium magnetite (VTM) sintering process, tumble index (TI) sinter, and was clarified. Results indicate that speed, process are all increased to a certain extent after different sizes f...

The objective of the present paper is to examine effect Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) on marshall properties and indirect tensile strength HMA through experimental investigation. A mixture with 0% RAP was used as a control mix evaluate mixes 5%, 10%, 15% RAP. One type brought from Bab Al-moadam’s road in Baghdad for this purpose. testing program included Marshall Indirect Tensile Strength tes...

Porous asphalt pavement is mainly used for parking lots which able to let water drain through the surface into a stone recharge bed and infiltrate soils under pavement. This study investigate performance of seashell in porous determine image analysis. The this cockle shell. strength was determined Aggregate Impact Value Test (AIV) Crushing (ACV). grade bitumen 60/70. volumetric properties Marsh...

The state of the art engineering dynamic inflow models of Pitt-Peters, Øye and ECN have been used to correct Blade Element Momentum theory for unsteady load prediction of a wind turbine for two decades. However, their accuracy is unknown. This paper is to benchmark the performance of these engineering models by experimental and numerical methods. The experimental load and flow measurements of a...

In the past decade, development of transform coding techniques has achieved significant progress and several advanced tools have been adopted in new generation Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard. this paper, a brief history during VVC standardization is presented, standard are described detail together with their initial design, incremental improvements implementation aspects. To improve eff...

A steady increase in available processing power continues to drive advances video compression technology. The recently completed Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard aims double the efficiency of HEVC and deliver a same quality at half bitrate. To achieve this goal, VVC includes several new methods that improve coding cost increased complexity. This paper provides complexity analysis its VTM r...

This paper presents an iterative training of neural networks for intra prediction in a block-based image and video codec. First, the are trained on blocks arising from codec partitioning images, each paired with its context. Then, iteratively, collected images via including at previous iteration, context, retrained new pairs. Thanks to this training, can learn functions that both stand out thos...

This paper presents an approach for cross-pose face recognition by virtual view generation using an appearance clustering based local view transition model. Previously, the traditional global pattern based view transition model (VTM) method was extended to its local version called LVTM, which learns the linear transformation of pixel values between frontal and non-frontal image pairs from train...

This paper presents an approach for realistic virtual view generation using appearance clustering based local view transition model, with its target application on cross-pose face recognition. Previously, the traditional global pattern based view transition model (VTM) method was extended to its local version called LVTM, which learns the linear transformation of pixel values between frontal an...
