The book contains twenty-two original scienti?c research articles that address the state-of-the-art in using partial di?erential equations for image and signal processing. The articles arose from presentations given at the inter- tional conference on PDE-Based Image Processing and Related Inverse Pr- lems, held at the Centre of Mathematics for Applications, University of Oslo, Norway, August 8-12, 2005. The purpose of the conference was to bring together international - searchers to present various aspects of new developments in using numerical techniques for partial di?erential equations to...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th IAPR-TC-15 International Workshop on Graph-Based Representations in Pattern Recognition, GbRPR 2015, held in Beijing, China, in May 2015.

The four-point bending fatigue lives of Ti-6Al-4V and 316L stainless steel are improved more than 17 and 22 times when a 200-nm-thick thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) are coated. TFMGs (Zr50Cu27Al16Ni7) with unique physical and mechanical properties such as high hardness, and toughness have attracted interest in the past decade. With the aim of taking the advantages to their applications, TFMGs are coated on a series of crystalline substrates, i.e., Ti-6Al-4V, and 316L stainless steel to improve their four-point bending fatigue properties. Compared with traditional hard coating, TFMG with...

Many regard Albert Einstein as the greatest physicist since Newton. What exactly did he do that is so important in physics? Einstein's Physics provides an introduction to his physics at a level accessible to an undergraduate physics student. All equations are worked out in detail from the beginning.
Einstein's doctoral thesis and his Brownian motion paper were decisive contributions to our understanding of matter as composed of molecules and atoms. Einstein was one of the founding fathers of quantum theory: his photon proposal through the investigation of blackbody radiation, his quantum...

Faser-Bragg-Gitter-Sensoren bieten viele Vorteile gegenuber herkommliche Messverfahren zur Dehnungsmessung, wie beispielsweise elektrische Dehnungsmessstreifen. Sie vertragen deutlich mehr Lastwechselzyklen und ermoglichen aufgrund ihrer kompakten Bauweise eine Einbettung in Faserverbundwerkstoffe. Da das Funktionsprinzip auf Licht und Glasfaser basiert, sind diese Sensoren unempfindlich gegenuber elektromagnetischen Feldern und konnen keinen elektrischen Strom leiten. Daher sind sie besonders fur Umgebungen geeignet, wo elektrische Messverfahren auf Grund starker elektromagnetischer...
