Intelligent system for material quality control using impact-echo testing

2008

This paper introduces an intelligent system to discern the quality of materials inspected by the impact-echo technique. The system includes a hardware setup to inspect parallelepiped-shape materials and a procedure to classify the material depending on its quality condition. Four levels of classification with different grades of knowledge about the material defects are approached: material condition, kind of defect, defect orientation, and defect dimension. The number of classes (material qualities) in the lowest classification level is 12. The procedure is applied on signals coming from 3D finite element simulations and lab experiments with aluminium specimens. The classification procedure…

A remark on weakly convex continuous mappings in topological linear spaces

2009

Abstract Let C be a compact convex subset of a Hausdorff topological linear space and T : C → C a continuous mapping. We characterize those mappings T for which T ( C ) is convexly totally bounded.

On fuzzification of topological categories

2014

This paper shows that (L,M)-fuzzy topology of U. Hohle, T. Kubiak and A. Sostak is an instance of a general fuzzification procedure for topological categories, which amounts to the construction of a new topological category from a given one. This fuzzification procedure motivates a partial dualization of the machinery of tower extension of topological constructs of D. Zhang, thereby providing the procedure of tower extension of topological categories. With the help of this dualization, we arrive at the meta-mathematical result that the concept of (L,M)-fuzzy topology and the notion of approach space of R. Lowen are ''dual'' to each other.

TOPOLOGICAL PARTIAL *-ALGEBRAS: BASIC PROPERTIES AND EXAMPLES

1999

Let [Formula: see text] be a partial *-algebra endowed with a topology τ that makes it into a locally convex topological vector space [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] is called a topological partial *-algebra if it satisfies a number of conditions, which all amount to require that the topology τ fits with the multiplier structure of [Formula: see text]. Besides the obvious cases of topological quasi *-algebras and CQ*-algebras, we examine several classes of potential topological partial *-algebras, either function spaces (lattices of Lp spaces on [0, 1] or on ℝ, amalgam spaces), or partial *-algebras of operators (operators on a partial inner product space, O*-algebras).

Quantifying brain tumor tissue abundance in HR-MAS spectra using non-negative blind source separation techniques

2012

Given high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) spectra from several glial tumor subjects, our goal is to differentiate between tumor tissue types by separating the different sources that contribute to the profile of each spectrum. Blind source separation techniques are applied for obtaining characteristic profiles for necrosis, highly cellular tumor and border tumor tissue and providing the contribution (abundance) of each of these tumor tissue types to the profile of each spectrum. The problem is formulated as a non-negative source separation problem. Non-negative matrix factorization, convex analysis of non-negative sources and non-negative independent component analysis methods are …

Non absolutely convergent integrals of functions taking values in a locally convex space

2006

Properties of McShane and Kurzweil-Henstock integrable functions taking values in a locally convex space are considered and the relations with other integrals are studied. A convergence theorem for the Kurzweil-Henstock integral is given

Riemann type integrals for functions taking values in a locally convex space

2006

The McShane and Kurzweil-Henstock integrals for functions taking values in a locally convex space are defined and the relations with other integrals are studied. A characterization of locally convex spaces in which Henstock Lemma holds is given.

Exact Coulomb cutoff technique for supercell calculations in two dimensions

2009

We present a reciprocal space technique for the calculation of the Coulomb integral in two dimensions in systems with reduced periodicity, i.e., finite systems, or systems that are periodic only in one dimension. The technique consists in cutting off the long-range part of the interaction by modifying the expression for the Coulomb operator in reciprocal space. The physical result amounts in an effective screening of the spurious interactions originated by the presence of ghost periodic replicas of the system. This work extends a previous report [C. A. Rozzi et al., Phys. Rev. B 73, 205119 (2006)], where three-dimensional systems were considered. We show that the use of the cutoffs dramatic…
