Multi-phase jet in crossflow (MJC) garnered significant attention across a range of applications, including artificial aeration in oceans, lakes, and rivers. As of yet, the vast majority of the MJC literature focuses on pure gas or solid injection into crossflow, and limited studies pay attention...

Climate change is altering sea ice phenology, which forces polar bears (Ursus maritimus) to spend an increasing amount of time on land. Therefore, understanding movement ecology and terrestrial habitat selection of bears may become increasingly important for conservation planning. The Western...

Municipal drainage systems have a key role in public health and are considered one of the main components of every modern city's infrastructure. However, as the drainage system ages, its pipes gradually deteriorate at rates that vary based on the different conditions of utilization. To prevent...

In Chapters 1 and 2, we introduce the definition of interpolating refinable function vectors in dimension one and high dimensions, characterize such interpolating refinable function vectors in terms of their masks, and derive their sum rule structure explicitly. We study biorthogonal refinable...

In this paper, estimation of the applied force on a planar catheter is considered. An image processing approach has been chosen as the most suitable tool. For this purpose, we create a comprehensive database of catheters with different shapes and operating forces. Using image processing...

A CAPTCHA is an automatically generated test designed to distinguish between humans and computer programs; specifically, they are designed to be easy for humans but difficult for computer programs to pass in order to prevent the abuse of resources by automated bots. They are commonly seen...

Herein, we propose generating CAPTCHAs through random field simulation and give a novel, effective and efficient algorithm to do so. Indeed, we demonstrate that sufficient information about word tests for easy human recognition is contained in the site marginal probabilities and the...

Particle-based nonlinear filters provide a mathematically optimal (in the limit) and sound method for solving a number of difficult filtering problems. However, there are a number of practical difficulties that can occur when applying particle-based filtering techniques to real world problems....

In the process industry, certain quality variables cannot be measured regularly due to technical limitations or economic constraints. Consequently, the industry relies on laboratory analysis to measure such quality variables. However, laboratory analysis introduces long time-delays in obtaining...

This paper presents a novel, simple, yet powerful texture analysis method inspired by the well-known Local Binary Patterns (LBP) method called the Local Frequency Descriptors (LFD). Like LBP, the proposed method is invariant to rotation and linear changes of illumination; however,it does not...
