Self-dual morphological operators (SDMO) do not rely on whether one starts the sequence with erosion or dilation; they treat the image foreground and background identically. However, it is difficult to extend SDMO to multichannel images. Based on the self-duality property of traditional morphological operators and the theory of extremum constraint, this paper gives a complete characterization for the construction of multivariate SDMO. We introduce a pair of symmetric vector orderings (SVO) to construct multivariate dual morphological operators. Furthermore, utilizing extremum constraint to optimize multivariate morphological operators, we construct multivariate SDMO. Finally, we illustrate the importance and effectiveness of the multivariate SDMO by applications of noise removal and segmentation performance. The experimental results show that the proposed multivariate SDMO achieves better results, and they suppress noises more efficiently without losing image details compared with other filtering methods. Moreover, the proposed multivariate SDMO is also shown to have the best segmentation performance after the filtered images via watershed transformation.

Possibility measures and credibility measures are widely used in fuzzy set theory. Compared with possibility measures, the advantage of credibility measures is the self-duality property. This paper gives a relation between possibility measures and credibility measures, and proves a sufficient and necessary condition for credibility measures. Finally, the credibility extension theorem is shown.

Abstract Expressions are derived for side force and self-aligning torque of a simple tire model on wet roads with velocity-dependent friction. The results agree qualitatively with experimental results at moderate speeds. In particular, the theory correctly predicts that the self-aligning torque can become negative under easily realizable circumstances. The slip angle at which the torque reverses sign should increase with the normal load.

Abstract We examine strong/weak dualities in two dimensional conformal field theories by generalizing the Fateev-Zamolodchikov-Zamolodchikov (FZZ-)duality between Witten’s cigar model described by the $$ \mathfrak{sl}(2)/\mathfrak{u}(1) $$ sl 2 / u 1 coset and sine-Liouville theory. In a previous work, a proof of the FZZ-duality was provided by applying the reduction method from $$ \mathfrak{sl}(2) $$ sl 2 Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model to Liouville field theory and the self-duality of Liouville field theory. In this paper, we work with the coset model of the type $$ \mathfrak{sl}\left(N+1\right)/\left(\mathfrak{sl}(N)\times \mathfrak{u}(1)\right) $$ sl N + 1 / sl N × u 1 and investigate the equivalence to a theory with an $$ \mathfrak{sl}\left(N+\left.1\right|N\right) $$ sl N + 1 N structure. We derive the duality explicitly for N = 2, 3 by applying recent works on the reduction method extended for $$ \mathfrak{sl}(N) $$ sl N and the self-duality of Toda field theory. Our results can be regarded as a conformal field theoretic derivation of the duality of the Gaiotto-Rapčák corner vertex operator algebras Y0,N,N+1[ψ] and YN,0,N+1[ψ−1].

Abstract One of the most striking but mysterious properties of the sinh-Gordon model (ShG) is the b → 1/b self-duality of its S-matrix, of which there is no trace in its Lagrangian formulation. Here b is the coupling appearing in the model’s eponymous hyperbolic cosine present in its Lagrangian, cosh(bϕ). In this paper we develop truncated spectrum methods (TSMs) for studying the sinh-Gordon model at a finite volume as we vary the coupling constant. We obtain the expected results for b ≪ 1 and intermediate values of b, but as the self-dual point b = 1 is approached, the basic application of the TSM to the ShG breaks down. We find that the TSM gives results with a strong cutoff Ec dependence, which disappears according only to a very slow power law in Ec. Standard renormalization group strategies — whether they be numerical or analytic — also fail to improve upon matters here. We thus explore three strategies to address the basic limitations of the TSM in the vicinity of b = 1. In the first, we focus on the small-volume spectrum. We attempt to understand how much of the physics of the ShG is encoded in the zero mode part of its Hamiltonian, in essence how ‘quantum mechanical’ vs ‘quantum field theoretic’ the problem is. In the second, we identify the divergencies present in perturbation theory and perform their resummation using a supra-Borel approximate. In the third approach, we use the exact form factors of the model to treat the ShG at one value of b as a perturbation of a ShG at a different coupling. In the light of this work, we argue that the strong coupling phase b > 1 of the Lagrangian formulation of model may be different from what is naïvely inferred from its S-matrix. In particular, we present an argument that the theory is massless for b > 1.

The Raman spectra of oleums, i.e. mixtures of sulphur trioxide and sulphuric acid, have been re-examined. Similar measurements on the sulphur trioxide – deuterosulphuric acid (D2SO4) system are also reported. The experimental results and conclusions of previous similar work on oleums are discussed. By comparison of the spectra of oleums with those of the polysulphuryl halides it is shown that the polysulphuric acids H2S2O7 and H2S3O10 are present in this system. The increase in the frequency of the SO2 stretching vibrations with increasing concentration of sulphur trioxide gives evidence for the existence of higher polysulphuric acids such as H2S4O13 at high concentrations of sulphur trioxide. In relatively concentrated oleum, sulphur trioxide monomer and trimer are also present. It is shown that the self-dissociation of liquid H2S2O7 gives mainly molecular H2S2O10 and H2SO4 and not ionic species. The conclusions reached from the interpretation of the Raman spectra of the D2SO4–SO3 system are similar to those arrived at for sulphuric acid oleums. The spectra of solutions of NaHSO4 in oleums were also examined, and are discussed.

Tibetan is a low-resource language. In order to alleviate the shortage of parallel corpus between Tibetan and Chinese, this paper uses two monolingual corpora and a small number of seed dictionaries to learn the semi-supervised method with seed dictionaries and self-supervised adversarial training method through the similarity calculation of word clusters in different embedded spaces and puts forward an improved self-supervised adversarial learning method of Tibetan and Chinese monolingual data alignment only. The experimental results are as follows. First, the experimental results of Tibetan syllables Chinese characters are not good, which reflects the weak semantic correlation between Tibetan syllables and Chinese characters; second, the seed dictionary of semi-supervised method made before 10 predicted word accuracy of 66.5 (Tibetan - Chinese) and 74.8 (Chinese - Tibetan) results, to improve the self-supervision methods in both language directions have reached 53.5 accuracy.

Self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC) is a high-performance concrete that can achieve compacting effect by self-gravity without vibration during pouring. Because of its excellent fluidity, homogeneity, and stability, the application of self-compacting concrete in engineering can improve work efficiency and reduce project cost. The effects of loading rate on the fracture behavior of self-compacting concrete were studied in this paper. Three-point bend (TPB) tests were carried out at five loading rates of 1, 0.1, 0.001, 0.0001, and 0.00001 mm/s. The dimensions of the specimens were 100  mm × 100 mm × 400 mm. A precast crack was set in the middle of the specimen with a notch-depth ratio of 0.4. The experimental results show that the peak load on the load-CMOD (crack mouth opening displacement) curve gradually increases with the increase of the loading rate. Although the fracture energy a presented greater dispersion under the loading rate of 1 mm/s, the overall changes were still rising with the increase of the loading rate. Besides studying the softening characteristics of the self-compacting concrete, the constitutive softening curve of the self-compacting concrete was obtained using the bilinear model. Finally, curved three-point bending beams were simulated by using the extended finite element method based on ABAQUS. The fracture process of the self-compacting concrete under different loading conditions was analyzed more intuitively. The simulation results were compared with the experimental results, and the same conclusions were obtained.

As one of the workload characteristics, the anomaly behaviors in real workload have been recognized as a critical requirement for file system design. In this paper, a set of traces collected from typically realistic file system have been analyzed. The correlation study of I/O request inter-arrival times shows that it is necessary to examine the self-similarity in file system workload. Then the phenomenon of self-similarity which had been initially observed in network and disk I/O workload has also been visually and statistically observed in file system workload. In addition, we implement an I/O series generator in which the inputs are the measured properties of the available trace data. Experimental results show that this model can accurately emulate the complex access arrival behaviors of real file systems, particularly the heavy-tail characteristics.
