The mass loss of the solid was found to be smaller when the slab was subject to spatially uniform heating than when it was heated uniformly with the same average intensity (when lateral conduction was not neglected). For a given heating, the mass loss with lateral conduction was always less...
The Appraisal Regulation Compliance Council published a detailed breakdown to the CFPB, which showed the median average AMC fee being charged to borrowers amounted to a staggering 65% of the total appraisal fee, with one AMC extracting as much as 84% in pure profit. The Appraisal Regulation Comp...
This pipeline normalizes noisy intensity measurements into chromosomal regions of equal copy number in the form of segment mean values, which are equal to log2(copy-number/2), so that diploid regions will have a segment mean of zero, amplified regions will have positive values, and deletions ...
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) visualizes the atomic structure of macromolecules that are embedded in vitrified thin ice at their close-to-native state. However, the homogeneity of ice thickness, a key factor to ensure high image quality, is poorly c
2.1 Zero-watermarking Traditional watermarking algorithms change the image's original information when embedding the watermark into the image. Wen et al. [1] proposed a zero-watermarking method that utilizes high-order cumulants to produce a zero-watermark; in other words, the watermark is invisible...
3. As expected in the thermal degradation of cellulose, preheating times, before significant weight loss, become successively shorter and the amounts of solid, left as charred residual, successively lower, as the intensity of the radiative heat flux is increased. Differences between the system and...
(empirically the cathodes, on which corrosion products can often accumulate rapidly), natural shifts of the actual applied current intensity, the relative nobility of the two electrode materials, and most importantly the electric connectivity of all rebars within the concrete specimen (in case when ...
(Fig.9.b). Moreover, the intensity initially increases as the excitation wavelengths increased until peaking at 400 nm, followed by a gradual decrease at longer wavelengths. Nevertheless, the PL of B.CNDs (Fig.9.c) remains stable even after exposure to a 55 W xenon lamp for 60 min at ...
where \(I_P^n\) represents the intensity of the nth projected fringe pattern, (xP, yP) is the coordinate of a pixel on the projected image, A is the average intensity of the projected fringe pattern, B is the modulation intensity of the projected fringe pattern, n represents the nth ph...
(λX = 513 nm). For a flat gold film, we achieveIslab = 6.7I0that is mainly due to the excitation of a SPP at the angle of incidence θinc = 43.4° such thatnSPP = nglasssinθinc(I0is the incident intensity). The enhancement slightly increases toIgrating =...
