Generically split projective homogeneous varieties. II

2012

AbstractThis article gives a complete classification of generically split projective homogeneous varieties. This project was begun in our previous article [PS10], but here we remove all restrictions on the characteristic of the base field, give a new uniform proof that works in all cases and in particular includes the case PGO2n+ which was missing in [PS10].

Maps to Projective Space

2000

One of the main goals of algebraic geometry is to understand the geometry of smooth projective varieties. For instance, given a smooth projective surface X, we can ask a host of questions whose answers might help illuminate its geometry. What kinds of curves does the surface contain? Is it covered by rational curves, that is, curves birationally equivalent to ℙ1? If not, how many rational curves does it contain, and how do they intersect each other? Or is it more natural to think of the surface as a family of elliptic curves (genus-1 Riemann surfaces) or as some other family? Is the surface isomorphic to ℙ2 or some other familiar variety on a dense set? What other surfaces are birationally …

Seismic properties across an amphibolite- to greenschist-facies strain gradient (Neves area, eastern Alps, Italy): New considerations for shear zone …

2021

Abstract Detecting the presence and geometry of crustal shear zones by geophysical methods relies on our understanding of the intrinsic parameters controlling the seismic properties of these deformed rocks, over the range of pressure-temperature conditions expected in the Earth's crust. To this end, we aimed to track changes in P-wave propagation velocity (VP), anisotropy (AVP) and S-wave splitting (AVS) across a natural shear zone using experimental and electron backscatter diffraction methods. Five samples were collected across a meter-scale shear zone developed under amphibolite- to greenschist-facies in the Neves metagranodiorite (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps). With increasing strain, se…

An Automatic Method for PET Delineation of Cervical Tumors

2015

Aim: PET imaging is increasingly utilized for radiation treatment planning. Nevertheless, accurate segmentation of PET images is a complex and unresolved problem. Aim of this work is the development of an automatic segmentation method of Biological Target Volume (BTV) in patients with cervical cancer. Materials and methods: Random walks (RW) is a graph-based method that represents a DICOM (Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) image as a graph. The voxels are its nodes and the edges are defined by a cost function which maps a change in image intensity to edge weights. Then, RW partitions the nodes into target and background subsets. To create an automatic method starting from prev…

Two retrograde, amphibolite facies shear zones were studied to explore the relationship between retrograde mineral reactions, volume strain, fluid flow, mylonitization, and coaxial versus noncoaxial deformation. The two shear zones are the contractional Mafwewu Hills shear zone and the transcurrently displacing Mkamasa River shear zone of northern Malawi. In general, shear-zone formation is characterized by the breakdown of feldspar and biotite and the formation of sillimanite, quartz, and water. Silica, alkali, and alkali earth elements were mobile. Mass-balance calculations, based on major- and trace-element geochemistry, indicate as much as 50%–60% volume loss in mylonite. Fluid to rock …

Electrocardiogram Signal Analysing

2016

In this paper, we develop a new approach based on nonlinear filtering scheme (NLFS) on cardiac signal to evaluate a robust single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) delineation system and waves localization method based on nonlinear filtering approach. This system is built in two phases, in the first phase, we proposed a mathematical model for detecting ECG features like QRS complex peak, P and T-waves onsets and ends fromnoise free of synthetic ECG signal. Later, we develop a theoretical model to obtain real approach for detecting these features from real noisy ECG signals. Our method has been evaluated on electrocardiogram signals of QT-MIT standard database, the QRS peak achieve sensitivity (S…

Analysis of a complex high-strain zone at Cap de Creus, Spain

1997

Abstract The structural analysis of a high-strain zone developed in medium- to high-grade metamorphic micaschists from the Cap de Creus area, Spain provides an example of the complex relationships between geometry, strain and kinematics to be found in deep crustal shear zones. This high-strain zone is composed of E-W trending structural domains characterized by different strain intensities and associated with syntectonic emplacement of pegmatite dykes. The main phase of deformation discussed here, D2, affects steeply dipping bedding, boudinaged quartz veins and S1 developed parallel to bedding. D2 deformation of these features and of syn-D2 pegmatite dykes gives rise to fold/boudin structur…
