The state equation is then the equation that describes the dependance of the specific internal energy e upon the chosen primary state variables. In acoustics, since motions are isentropic, it is judicious to choose as a first primary state variable the specific entropy s, whose existence is ...
It can be shown from the increase in entropy principle that the maximum thermal efficiency, as defined in Eq. (3.13), is a function of the heat sink and supply temperatures and is equal to the Carnot efficiency, (3.21)ηCarnot=1−TLTH In practice, ηCarnot can never be realized, becau...
During training, weights of the network are iteratively updated to improve predictions by means of the minimization of a miss-classification loss (e.g. Cross-Entropy). Either processing small image patches23 or the entire image24, these approaches can succeed in segmenting the retinal vasculature ...
Here, one of our key contributions is the proof of a handy variational expression for the measured relative entropy of nonclassicality. This result relies on a careful application of Sion’s Theorem, based, in turn, on a crucial and carefully made choice of topology on the space of trace ...
State of health is a critical state which evaluates the degradation level of batteries. However, it cannot be measured directly but requires estimation. While accurate state of health estimation has progressed markedly, the time- and resource-consuming d
paper, authors have extensively studied the formulation of various level set models and their application in different types of images. Further, the authors have discussed their contributions to level set framework and open research challenges for researchers....
Carbonation of Mg(OH){sub 2} in a pressurised fluidised bed for CO{sub 2} sequestration To date, a number of methods to accelerate natural weathering or in other words increase the CO{sub 2} uptake rate of various minerals have been suggested;... J Fagerlund - 《Aabo Akademi Turku Ther...
For the special case in which separation distances are large relative to the separation of force centers within each molecule, the coefficients originating from various combinations of l1, l2, and m have the form: (3.46)ξ(r)(l1,l2,m)=c(l1,l2,m)vr−n, where c(l1, l2, m) is a ...
The mobilization of social networks, thus mobile social networks (MSNs), has equally been widely used, driven by the rapid advancement of both wireless network technologies and mobile devices. In light of the many works on MSNs focusing on its various different aspects, this paper aims to ...
last few decades. A comprehensive review is reported on different performance metrics to evaluate the efficiency of visual tracking algorithms which might help researchers to identify new avenues in this area. Various application areas of the visual tracking are also discussed at the end of the ...
