A frequently applied indicator of tubular structures is based on the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix of the original image convolved with a Gaussian, whose standard derivation depends on the size of the tubes. Hence the tube size must either be known in advance or a whole scale of standard deviations has to be tested resulting in higher computational costs – a serious obstacle for data with varying tube thickness.In this paper, we propose to modify the structure indicator by replacing the derivatives of the Gaussian smoothed function by the Riesz transform. We show by various numerical examples that the resulting structure indicator is scale independent. Smoothing with a Gaussian is just necessary to cope with the noise in the image, but is not related to the size of the tubular structures. We apply the novel structure indicator for the fiber orientation analysis of fibrous materials and for the segmentation of leather. The latter one was a special challenging application since all scales are present in the microstructure of leather.

In order to search after a new way of the propulsion system of tracked vehicle, a novel structure form of electro-mechanical transmission was developed in this paper, through analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of existing projects of electric drive system for tracked vehicle. It could increase the rate of power exertion obviously and synthesize the mechanical and electrical strongpoint. And based on the structure form, an electro-mechanical transmission was designed with double electromotor added planetary mechanism of steering power coupling and gearshift, considering engineering realization. And then straight-line driving and steering performances of the transmission were calculated which proved that the novel electro-mechanical transmission could meet the requirement of tracked vehicle propulsion well.

A novel 4H-SiC MESFET was presented, and its direct current (DC), alternating current (AC) characteristics and power added efficiency (PAE) were studied. The novel structure improves the saturation current (Idsat) and transconductance (gm) by adding a heavily doped region, reduces the gate-source capacitance (Cgs) by adding a lightly doped region and improves the breakdown voltage (Vb) by embedding an insulated region (Si3N4). Compared to the double-recessed (DR) structure, the saturation current, the transconductance, the breakdown voltage, the maximum oscillation frequency (fmax), the maximum power added efficiency and the maximum theoretical output power density (Pmax) of the novel structure is increased by 24%, 21%, 9%, 11%, 14% and 34%, respectively. Therefore, the novel structure has excellent performance and has a broader application prospect than the double recessed structure.

Certain adamantylated heterocycles were previously shown to enhance the secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) by murine melanoma cells that have been transduced with the gene for human TNF-α and constitutively expressed this cytokine. The stimulatory potency of those compounds depended, among other factors, on the structure of the linker between the adamantyl residue and the heterocyclic core. In the present study, a series of (1-adamantyl)alkylsulfanyl derivatives of heterocyclic compounds was prepared by alkylation of the corresponding thioheterocyles. Of the novel adamantylalkylthio compounds tested in the aforementioned cell line, 2-(2-adamantan-1-ylethylsulfanyl)- 4-methyl-pyrimidine was found to be the most active

The nickel(II), palladium(II), platinum(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and rhodium(III) chelates of the new fluorinated monothio-β-diketones RC(SH)=CHCOCF3 (R = Pri, Bui) and the iron(III), ruthenium(III) and cobalt(III) chelates of PriC(SH)=CHCOCF3 have been prepared. The mass spectra of all but the two copper chelates have been obtained. The novel features of the spectra are the occurrence of the ions M-(R-H), M-R, and M-LH and the loss of H2S from the ions M-LH and M-L.

The [4 + 2] cycloaddition of o-quinodimethanes, generated in situ from the sultine 4,5-benzo-3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxathiin 2-oxide and its derivative, to La metal-encapsulated fullerenes, La2@C80 or La@C82, afforded the novel derivatives of endohedral metallofullerenes (3a,b, 4a,b and 5b). Molecular structures of the resulting compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic methods such as MALDI–TOF mass, optical absorption, and NMR spectroscopy. The [4 + 2] adducts of La2@C80 (3a,b, and 4a,b) and La@C82 (5b), respectively, retain diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties, as confirmed by EPR spectroscopy. Dynamic NMR measurements of 4a at various temperatures demonstrated the boat-to-boat inversions of the addend. In addition, 5b revealed remarkable thermal stability in comparison with the reported [4 + 2] cycloadduct of pentamethylcyclopentadiene and La@C82 (6). These findings demonstrate the utility of sultines to afford thermodynamically stable endohedral metallofullerene derivatives for the use in material science.

This study discusses in depth about the moral values of responsibility in the novel Laskar Pelangi. Furthermore, the proposed related to the socio-cultural background of the authors in the creation of novel Laskar Pelangi effect on moral values. In addition, also discussed the author's view of the world related to the teachings of the value of responsibility. This research uses a qualitative approach with content analysis method. The results showed that the value of responsibility based on the novel structure consisting of man's relationship to himself, namely in terms of character and characterization. The characters are displayed Andrea Hirata bring the characters responsible for the thoughts, attitudes, and behavior. From a review of genetic structuralism, the value of responsibility based on social and cultural background, knowledge systems also influence the social and cultural life. Belitung people's livelihood systems are revealed also shape the character responsible. The author's world view of morals includes the value of self-existence, self-esteem, self-confidence, fear, longing, and responsibility.

In this paper, the novel structure of carbon nanocoils were synthesized successfully by catalytic thermal decomposition of acetylene in CVD reactor under inert atmospheric pressure. Fe as a catalyst coated alumina beads used as substrate , both were placed inside a cylindrical shape stainless steel mesh SSC and located at the mid of CVD reactor. Preliminary study of application of prepared carbon nanocoil in synthesis of photodiode showed that the photodiode has a good rectification and the forward current obeys to tunneling-recombination model.

Abstract In this paper, a novel snake like robot design is presented and analyzed. The structure described desires to obtain a robot that is most like a snake found in nature. This is achieved with the combination of both rigid and soft link structures by implementing a 3D printed rigid link and a soft cast silicone skin. The proposed structure serves to have a few mechanical improvements while maintaining the positives of previous designs. The implementation of the silicone skin presents the opportunity to use synthetic scales and directional friction. The design modifications of this novel design are analyzed on the fronts of the kinematics and minimizing power loss. Minimization of power loss is done through a numerical minimization of three separate parameters with the smallest positive power loss being used. This results in the minimal power loss per unit distance. This research found that the novel structure presented can be effectively described and modeled, such that they could be applied to a constructed model.
