. Simplicity of the algorithm, low computational

burden and an excellent matching to the clinically perceived tortuosity are the important features of the proposed algorithm.To measure tortuosity, we use curvature which is an indicator of local...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Reynolds number and sweep angle on the blood flow patterns in S-shaped bends, resembling the femoral artery. The numerical simulations of steady flows in S-shaped ...

, based on the difference curvature and the gradient of the image,
we introduce a new feature descriptor. For demonstrating the effectiveness of the new feature
descriptor, we use it in constructing a new diffusion-based denoising model. Experimental...

shells. Particular emphasis is placed on the case of free vibration of cross-ply laminated

cylindrical shells with double curvature. The results presented herein indicate that, for free vibration responses of

laminated cylindrical shells...

A case necessary to develop postharvest mechanization is to have enough information to decrease mechanical damage for each crop. This research performed to determine and compare the susceptibility of apple varieties to ...

In this research, flow is simulated numerically through and around a mixed-compression intake to investigate effects of corner rounding on intake performance at free stream Mach numbers of 1.8, 2 and 2.2 and at zero degrees ...

the surface curvature and the resulting changes in the curvature of the reflected wavefront. As a result the accuracy of radar cross section prediction decreases. This paper uses a bilinear approximation method to estimate the normal vector variations...
