Drill and blast is a major method for bed rock excavation in nuclear power plant engineering. Under blasting excavation, blast-induced vibration propagates in rock mass and induces damage to surrounding rock. Studying the characteristics of wave propagatio ...
This paper evaluates the performance of face and speaker verification techniques in the context of a mobile environment. The mobile environment was chosen as it provides a realistic and challenging test-bed for biometric person verification techniques to o ...
International sea-freight container transport has grown dramatically over the last years and container terminals play nowadays a key-role in the global shipping network. Increasing competition and competitiveness among terminals require more and more effic ...

The aim of this thesis was to explore the cell mechanical properties using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The cell membrane contains lipids microdomains, called rafts, enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids. The rafts are believed to play an importa ...
The dominance of conduction and the negligible effect of gravity, and hence free convection, are verified in the case of microscale heat sources surrounded by air at atmospheric pressure. A list of temperature-dependent heat transfer coefficients is provid ...
Mudflows are catastrophic events that cause immense damage to infrastructure and life every year. Local authorities have been trying to mitigate the risk by zoning regulations as well as by building protection structures for many years. These measures have ...
Genomic bioinformatics is a growing and developing field. Indeed, data analysis is becoming an integrative and essential part of any quantitative biological experiment as the technologies evolve and the wet lab methods used generate larger and larger quant ...
We present a space-domain integral-equation method for the analysis of periodic structures formed by three-dimensional metallic objects arranged in a general skewed two-dimensional lattice. The computation of the space-domain Green's function is accelerate ...
Presentations are becoming an increasingly more common means of communication in working environments, and slides are often the necessary supporting material on which the presentations rely. In this paper, we describe a slide indexing and retrieval system ...
