Representing 2D Digital Objects

2000

The paper describes the combination a multi-views approach to represent connected components of 2D binary images. The approach is based on the Object Connectivity Graph (OCG), which is a sub-graph of the connectivity graph generated by the Discrete Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition(DCAD) performed in the 2D discrete space. This construction allows us to find the number of connected components, to determine their connectivity degree, and to solve visibility problem. We show that the CAD construction, when performed on two orthogonal views, supply information to avoid ambiguities in the interpretation of each image component. The implementation of the algorithm is outlined and the computati…

Stress-Strain Law for Confined Concrete with Hardening or Softening Behavior

2013

This paper provides a new general stress-strain law for concrete confined by steel, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), or fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM), obtained by a suitable modification of the well-known Sargin’s curve for steel confined concrete. The proposed law is able to reproduce stress-strain curve of any shape, having both hardening or softening behavior, by using a single closed-form simple algebraic expression with constant coefficients. The coefficients are defined on the basis of the stress and the tangent modulus of the confined concrete in three characteristic points of the curve, thus being related to physical meaningful parameters. It will be shown that if the v…

Orbits of bounded bijective operators and Gabor frames

2020

This paper is a contribution to frame theory. Frames in a Hilbert space are generalizations of orthonormal bases. In particular, Gabor frames of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, which are made of translations and modulations of one or more windows, are often used in applications. More precisely, the paper deals with a question posed in the last years by Christensen and Hasannasab about the existence of overcomplete Gabor frames, with some ordering over $\mathbb{Z}$, which are orbits of bounded operators on $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. Two classes of overcomplete Gabor frames which cannot be ordered over $\mathbb{Z}$ and represented by orbits of operators in $GL(L^2(\mathbb{R}))$ are given. Some results about opera…

CONGENITAL REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF NEPHRONS IMPAIRS PROXIMAL TUBULAR GROWTH IN THE CONTRALATERAL KIDNEY DURING PARTIAL UNILATERAL URETERAL OBSTRUCTION

2013

PURPOSE To compare the response of the contralateral (CL) kidney during partial unilateral uretaral obstruction (PUO) and from obstruction/release (PUO/Rel) to sham-operated kidneys in both wild-type (WT) mice and mice with 50% reduction of nephron number (Os/+) MATERIAL AND METHODS C57/BL6 WT and mice with oligosyndactylism and 50% reduction of nephron number (Os/+), were subjected to sham operation or PUO in the first 2 days of life. Additional mice underwent release of obstruction at 7 days (PUO-Rel). All kidneys were harvested at 6 weeks (adulthood). Using histomorphometry, glomerular number and area were determined by PAS staining, and proximal tubular (PT) mass and injury to the glome…

Discrete Learning Control with Application to Hydraulic Actuators

2015

In this paper the robustness of a class of learning control algorithms to state disturbances, output noise, and errors in initial conditions is studied. We present a simple learning algorithm and exhibit, via a concise proof, bounds on the asymptotic trajectory errors for the learned input and the corresponding state and output trajectories. Furthermore, these bounds are continuous functions of the bounds on the initial condition errors, state disturbance, and output noise, and the bounds are zero in the absence of these disturbances.

Regular and singular pulse and front solutions and possible isochronous behavior in the Extended-Reduced Ostrovsky Equation: Phase-plane, multi-infin…

2016

In this paper we employ three recent analytical approaches to investigate several classes of traveling wave solutions of the so-called extended-reduced Ostrovsky Equation (exROE). A recent extension of phase-plane analysis is first employed to show the existence of breaking kink wave solutions and smooth periodic wave (compacton) solutions. Next, smooth traveling waves are derived using a recent technique to derive convergent multi-infinite series solutions for the homoclinic orbits of the traveling-wave equations for the exROE equation. These correspond to pulse solutions respectively of the original PDEs. We perform many numerical tests in different parameter regime to pinpoint real saddl…

Fuzzy logic approach to predict vehicle crash severity from acceleration data

2015

Vehicle crash is a complex behavior to be investigated as a challenging topic in terms of dynamical modeling. On this aim, fuzzy logic can be utilized to analyze the crash dynamics rapidly and simply. In this paper, the experimental data of the frontal crash is recorded using an accelerometer located at the centre of the gravity of the vehicle. The acceleration signal was the raw data from which the collision intensity expressed by the kinetic energy and the jerk were derived. The fuzzy logic model was then developed from the two inputs namely kinetic energy and jerk. The output variable is the crash severity expressed as the dynamic crash. The result shows that the jerk contributes much to…

Computing Euclidean Steiner trees over segments

2020

In the classical Euclidean Steiner minimum tree (SMT) problem, we are given a set of points in the Euclidean plane and we are supposed to find the minimum length tree that connects all these points, allowing the addition of arbitrary additional points. We investigate the variant of the problem where the input is a set of line segments. We allow these segments to have length 0, i.e., they are points and hence we generalize the classical problem. Furthermore, they are allowed to intersect such that we can model polygonal input. As in the GeoSteiner approach of Juhl et al. (Math Program Comput 10(2):487–532, 2018) for the classical case, we use a two-phase approach where we construct a superse…
