AN ALGORITHM FOR DETECTING LAYER BOUNDARIES IN SEDIMENTS

An algorithm for detecting layer boundaries in sediments

In this paper we present an algorithm based on wavelet multiscale decomposition, designed to detect lines of maximal gradients in horizontal direction within Microwave two-dimensional data sets.The algorithm is capable of identifying layer boundaries within sediment profiles, as demonstrated for artificial as well Face as two field data sets.Layers

How anacetrapib inhibits the activity of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein? Perspective through atomistic simulations.

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the reciprocal transfer of neutral lipids (cholesteryl esters, triglycerides) and phospholipids between different lipoprotein fractions in human blood plasma.A novel molecular agent known as anacetrapib has been shown to inhibit CETP activity and thereby raise high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholest

Positive Stage Jerk Feedback Combined with Positive Base Plate Jerk Feedback to Improve the Positioning Speed of a Pneumatic Stage

In this paper, a unidirectional positioning stage which is supported by four coil-type spring isolators and actuated by four pneumatic cylinders is considered.The stage jerk feedback scheme (SJFB) with positive polarity is proposed to reduce the stage mass, resulting in the improvement of positioning speed.However, reduction of stage mass results i
