A two-dimensional image matching method based on the improved Hausdorff distance and global harmony search optimization is presented in this paper. First, edges are extracted form the original images by the Canny edge detector. Then, a fitness function based on the improved Hausdorff distance is constructed. Finally the global harmony search optimization is adopted to optimize the fitness function. Experiments show that the proposed method is able to locate the object of interest globally and efficiently.

In designing a bolted joint, it is important to examine the interface stress distribution (clamping effect) and to estimate the load factor, that is the ratio of an additional axial bolt force to a load. In order to improve the clamping effect raised faces of the interface have been used. But these interfaces in bolted joints have been designed empirically and the theoretical grounds are not made clear. In the present paper, in the case of T-shaped flanges with raised faces the clamping effect is analyzed by a two-dimensional theory of elasticity and the point matching method. Then, the load factor is analyzed. Moreover, with the application of the load a bending moment is occurred in bolts and the stress is added due to this bending moment. The bending moment in the bolt is also analyzed. In order to verify these analyses experiments to measure the load factor and the maximum bolt stress were carried out. The values of the load factor and the load when interface start to separate are compared with those of the joints with flat-faces. The analytical results are in fairly good agreements with the experimental ones.

ABSTRACT Abundant proteins of 25 human kidneys were surveyed for genic variation by means of two-dimensional electrophoresis. Eighty-three (83) proteins were scored, and no genic variation was detected. This reduction in genic heterozygosity corroborates results determined with two-dimensional electrophoresis in mice and flies. These results suggest that previous estimates of electrophoretic variation may have been in error because of biased selection of loci.

The lack of longitudinal studies of the relationship between the built environment and travel behavior has been widely discussed in the literature. This paper discusses how standard propensity score matching estimators can be extended to enable such studies by pairing observations across two dimensions: longitudinal and cross-sectional. Researchers mimic randomized controlled trials and match observations in both dimensions to find synthetic control groups that are similar to the treatment group and to match subjects across before- and after-treatment periods. We call this a two-dimensional propensity score matching method. This method demonstrates superior performance for improving treatment effect estimation based on Monte Carlo evidence. A near-term opportunity for such matching is identifying the treatment effect of transportation infrastructure on travel behavior.

A new algorithm—multi-to-one cell matching method for interface tracking in volume-of-fluid (VOF) calculation is presented. This method is based upon unstructured grid and implemented on cells having quadrilaterals or hexahedrons origin. This method utilizes the geometrical characteristic of each vertex in an arbitrary cell to classify the vertex type and to group faces into four (two dimensional) or six (three dimensional) groups. The final regrouped arbitrary cells have the similar geometric information and VOF distributions as that of quadrilaterals or hexahedrons. Convective flux to solve the volume evolution equation can then be exactly evaluated. The method was implemented on unstructured adaptive mesh for VOF simulation. Numerical results for those test problems provide evidence for the algorithm’s quality, and accuracy.
