Effectiveness of BFRP confinement on the compressive behaviour of clay brick masonry cylinders

2020

Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study on the compressive behaviour of small clay brick masonry cylinders reinforced with a basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite. Fourteen cylinders, manufactured using two assembling schemes and confined using either one or two layers of BFRP grids, were tested under monotonic compression loading. Traditional strain measuring systems were integrated with digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The BFRP confined masonry cylinders showed a ductile behaviour characterised by a softening branch of the stress–strain curve. The experimental strains, strength, and full stress–strain curves were modelled using…

Phenotypic traits and establishment speed of 44 turf bermudagrass accessions

2014

Breeding of turf bermudagrass (Cynodon (L.) Rich.) has made available a broad range of turf varieties with unique morphological and growth traits. Rapid establishment is necessary in order to provide the performance of a mature turf cover in the shortest time possible. The aims of the research were: (1) to determine variation of growth, morphological and biomass traits in bermudagrass accessions belonging to different phenotypic groups during establishment and (2) to relate such variations to establishment speed in order to assess whether contrasting phenotypic traits could induce different establishment patterns in bermudagrass or if a general establishment predictor can be identified for …

Implementación de un display 3D basado en imagen integral

2018

Desde hace varios años, el desarrollo y la evolución de tecnologías capaces de registrar y/o reconstruir información 3D está en auge, principalmente debido al gran interés que despierta este campo de estudio. Entre estas tecnologías, destaca la técnica de Imagen Integral, debido principalmente a su capacidad de generar un imagen 3D que proporciona al sistema visual una respuesta similar a la que obtendría percibiendo un objeto 3D real. Aunque esta técnica no está exenta de limitaciones, se están realizando prometedores avances para resolver sus principales inconvenientes. En esta Tesis se estudia la técnica de imagen integral con el objetivo de implementar un monitor 3D que sir…

Segmentation Integrating Watershed and Shape Priors Applied to Cardiac Delayed Enhancement MR Images

2017

International audience; Background: In recent years, there has been a rapid rise in the use of shape priors applied to segmentation process of medical images. Previous approaches on left ventricle segmentation from Delayed-Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DE-MRI) have focused on the extraction of myocardium or just diseased region in short axis orientation. However these studies did not take into account the segmentation of non-diseased myocardium from DE-MRI. The segmentation of non-diseased myocardium from DE-MRI, has some useful applications. For instance it can simplify the PET-MR registration process.Methods: This paper presents a novel semi-automatic segmentation method of non-…

Rilievo di un ephemeral gully nell’area sperimentale di Sparacia mediante una tecnica fotografica

2016

Nella memoria sono riportati i risultati dell’applicazione di una tecnica imagebased per il monitoraggio di un ephemeral gully formatosi nel gennaio 2015 nell’area sperimentale di Sparacia. Nel gully, lungo 54 m, sono state individuate 24 sezioni trasversali che sono state rilevate in campo mediante l’uso di un profilometro. L’indagine ha inoltre previsto la realizzazione di un modello tridimensionale del terreno (DTM) ottenuto con l’impiego di un numero elevato di fotografie della stessa scena acquisite da differenti punti di vista (Tecnica “Structure-From Motion” SFM e “Multi-View-Stereo MVS). Dal DTM tridimensionale (3D) e dal modello 2.5D sono stati estratti i profili delle sezioni tras…

The Processing of Medical Images: Principles, Main Applications and Perspectives

2013

This chapter provides an introduction to the basic concepts of medical digital image processing. We kept the mathematical complexity of the chapter at a low level so that life science students can understand the underlying principles behind the methods of analysis and computer-assisted diagnosis.

Digital image processing for rapid analysis of differentially expressed transcripts on high-density cDNA arrays.

1999

Usage of filter arrays is becoming increasingly attractive for many research laboratories involved in determination of gene-expression profiles. However, analysis of numerous spots, representing genes or partial gene sequences (ESTs), is still tedious work involving the ordered analysis of vast amounts of numerical tabular data. We present a rapid and efficient method for the visual identification of differentially expressed targets on high-density cDNA filter arrays using standard laboratory equipment and standard software, which is available for free. The method we introduce provides an inexpensive alternative, and no changes in the experimental set up are required. Our results were veri…
