In this paper, we consider sigma-delta (SD) quantization of geometrically uniform (GU) finite frames. In the first part, we prove that under some conditions, the variant I and II permutation modulation (PM) codes, first introduced by Slepian (1968, 1965), ...
In this paper, we describe a method to infer 3-D scene information using a single view captured by an omnidirectional camera. The proposed technique is inscribed in the so called ``Shape from Texture'' problem : if the textures hold by 3-D surfaces respect ...
We apply artificial shape engineering of epitaxial semiconductor nanostructures to demonstrate InGaAs quantum rods (QRs), nanocandles, and quantum dots-in-rods on a GaAs substrate. The evolution of the QRs from a zero-dimensional to one-dimensional confine ...
In order to sort out the physics that is important in many plasma experiments, data in three dimensions 3D are becoming necessary. Access to the usual cylindrical vacuum vessel is typically restricted to radially or axially insertable probes that can pivot ...
We present a new method for estimating heart motion from two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic sequences. It is inspired by the Lucas-Kanade algorithm for optical flow which estimates motion parameters over a sliding window. However, instead of assuming t ...
In the rod and hole paradox as described by Rindler (1961 Am. J. Phys. 29 365–6) ('length contraction paradox'), a rigid rod moves at high speed over a table towards a hole of the same size. A bystander expects the rod to fall into the hole, but a co-movin ...
This work investigates whether population vector coding could be a principle mechanism for sensorimotor transformations. This paper presents a formal demonstration of how population vector coding can proceed arbitrary 3- dimensional rotations and translati ...
This thesis is a contribution to the field of cellular communication in arteries during vasomotion, i.e. rhythmic and spontaneous diameter oscillations of arteries. Investigating how individual smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) calcium ...
Laser metal forming is an attractive process for rapid prototyping or the rebuilding of worn parts. However, large tensile stress may arise in layers deposited by laser melting of powder. A potential solution is to preheat the substrate before and during d ...
The ITER toroidal field model coil (TFMC) was designed, constructed and tested by the European Home Team in the framework of the ITER research and development program of the Engineering Design Activities (EDA). The project was performed under the leadershi ...
