Downscaling of the minimal feature size, or the gate length has been the key for the exponential im-provement of the performance of the logic CMOS integrated circuits over the last six decades. How-ever, since about 2003, some fundamental limits in the dev ...
Modifying the moduli of supporting convexity and supporting smoothness, we introduce new moduli for Banach spaces which occur, for example, as lengths of catheti of right-angled triangles (defined via so-called quasiorthogonality). These triangles have two ...
Characterization results for equality cases and for rigidity of equality cases in Steiner’s perimeter inequality are presented. (By rigidity, we mean the situation when all equality cases are vertical translations of the Steiner symmetral under considerati ...
Crank arrangement (1) for driving a pin-driven two degrees? of freedom mechanical oscillator (5), comprising:- a crank element (7) arranged to be rotationally driven about an axis of rotation (19) by means of a mechanical source of energy (M),- a crank slo ...
Given a set V of points in , two points p, q from V form a double-normal pair, if the set V lies between two parallel hyperplanes that pass through p and q, respectively, and that are orthogonal to the segment pq. In this paper we study the maximum number ...
Introduction The construction industry has an extensive impact on the global environment and will be facing three big challenges in the next decades: reducing its resource consumption, decreasing its energy use, and limiting its waste production. This is e ...
Let T be a triangulated surface given by the list of vertex-triples of its triangles, called rooms. A room-partitioning for T is a subset R of the rooms such that each vertex of T is in exactly one room in R. Given a room-partitioning R for T, the exchange ...
In the present paper, we address the problem of segmenting biological objects featuring corners. The main ingredients of our approach are automated feature-detection methods and mechanisms for introducing kinks in parametric spline snakes. We formulate a n ...
Clustering is a method for discovering structure in data, widely used across many scientific disciplines. The two main clustering problems this dissertation considers are K-means and K-medoids. These are NP-hard problems in the number of samples and cluste ...
Silicon and Silicon carbide particles have been investigated by the mean of infrared (IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to establish their surface states. The results of this research are based on the estimation of the area under ...
