Robust Image

The yarn diameter is an effective property in determining fabric structure and processing settings. There are different systems of measuring the yarn diameter; among them is the image analysis of the yarn’s microscopic images. This method is considered to be more precise than other methods, but it is “static” in nature as it measures the property at scattered intervals and does not reflect the continuous variation of the yarn diameter. The goal of the current work is to measure the yarn diameter and its variation over a long length of yarn at fixed intervals to consider the “dynamic” change in the property. To achieve this goal, a high-speed camera (HSC) with a proper magnification was used to capture the images of the yarn and a new robust algorithm was developed to analyze the massive amount of yarn pictures in a reasonable time. The collected data for the yarn diameter were analyzed and compared to the results of the commercial Uster Evenness Tester IV. The results of the HSC were very comparable to the results of Uster and they were able to detect the short-term, the long-term, and the periodic variation of the yarn diameter.

AbstractThe article approaches the topic of social trust from an evolutionary perspective. It begins by summarising the most influential approaches that have defined specific and social trust and ascertains what causes differences in degrees of trust and how the potential risk of deception might be lowered. It then notes that the basis of morality had already been formed during the era of prehistoric man, who was able to create coalitions against aggressors and to socially control the behaviour of deviants. It points out, however, that having a certain predisposition to behaving cooperatively or an increased sensitivity to recognising and not tolerating behaviour aimed at abusing cooperation is not a sufficient guarantee of the fact that people will always (or at least in the majority of situations) favour cooperation over deception. One of the reasons for this is a tendency to favour short-term gains over long-term ones. The article argues that establishing norms (moral, social and legal) produces a higher level of social trust because it not only “encourages” individuals to behave in certain ways in particular situations but also works as a sanction which “discourages” the individual from socially deviant behaviour. The article then focuses on a debate about the causal relationship between social trust and social capital. It discusses the suggestion that political institutions, government and the judiciary may reduce rather than raise levels of social capital and consequently also the level of social trust. This is partly because of their powerful position and the consequent scope for corruption and partly because of the fact that even when attempting to act honestly, representatives of these institutions cannot sufficiently reflect upon dynamic change at the local level. Finally, the article ends by adopting the position that social trust is built primarily from bottom up and so it is risky to continually doubt the very existence and usefulness of social norms and morality and to be governed simply by legal norms.

Short And Long Term

This study aims to examine the effect of inflation, economic growth, and foreign investment on unemployment in Indonesia. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) analysis method to analyze the 1991-2018 time series data collected from the World Bank's World Development Indicators database. The results found that inflation has a negative and significant effect in the short term but not significant in the long term in Indonesia. Economic growth has a negative and significant effect on both short and             long-term unemployment in Indonesia, and foreign investment has a negative and significant effect on both short and long-term unemployment in Indonesia. Through the ARDL model, this research is able to prove that inflation, economic growth, foreign investment, and budgeting are proven to have long-term cointegration or move together in the long term. The four variables also have a dynamic short-term relationship that has a fairly high speed of adjustment towards equilibrium per year. Based on the results, policymakers, in this case the government must provide a conducive investment environment by eliminating the structural rigidity that exists in the economy to attract investment, both foreign and domestic investment, to encourage economic growth and create jobs in Indonesia.

N-type 4H-SiC homo-epitaxial films were grown by high speed wafer rotation vertical CVD tool, and both short term repeatability and long term repeatability of epitaxial growth were investigated. In the short term repeatability investigated by 6 epitaxial wafers chosen from successively grown 12 epitaxial wafers using same recipe, it was found that total variation of thickness and carrier concentration for all measurement points of 6 wafers is 1.44 and 4.64 % respectively, which indicates excellent repeatability as well as high uniform thickness and carrier concentration. In the long term repeatability investigated by a very large number of growth experiments, probability achieving target uniformity of thickness and carrier concentration of the SiC films was increased up to 1.32 times by optimizing gas nozzle structure in gas inlet compared with in the case of conventional gas nozzles. Moreover, adjustment range of C/Si ratio necessary to achieve target uniformity of thickness and carrier concentration of the films was considerably reduced to 22 % by optimized gas nozzles.

With the development of computer technology, video description, which combines the key technologies in the field of natural language processing and computer vision, has attracted more and more researchers’ attention. Among them, how to objectively and efficiently describe high-speed and detailed sports videos is the key to the development of the video description field. In view of the problems of sentence errors and loss of visual information in the generation of the video description text due to the lack of language learning information in the existing video description methods, a multihead model combining the long-term and short-term memory network and attention mechanism is proposed for the intelligent description of the volleyball video. Through the introduction of the attention mechanism, the model pays much attention to the significant areas in the video when generating sentences. Through the comparative experiment with different models, the results show that the model with the attention mechanism can effectively solve the loss of visual information. Compared with the LSTM and base model, the multihead model proposed in this paper, which combines the long-term and short-term memory network and attention mechanism, has higher scores in all evaluation indexes and significantly improved the quality of the intelligent text description of the volleyball video.

The paper compares measurement-based measures for human vibration exposure. Data were collected during sea trials on a 10 m, 50 kn coastguard craft equipped with a three-axial accelerometer at the coxswain seat and with vertically mounted gauges measuring the acceleration of the cockpit floor. The ISO 2631-1:1997 measures of vibration (namely the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) value of the whole-body vibration (determined from the frequency-weighted acceleration signal), the maximum transient vibration value (MTVV), and the vibration dose value), the ISO 2631-5:2004 measure (namely the daily equivalent static compression dose Sed), and also statistically based measures to evaluate the acceleration magnitude are compared and discussed with respect to their ability to identify the mitigating effect of the suspension seat and how the different measures rank the severity of the high-speed craft (HSC) ride. The paper concludes that the r.m.s. value and the MTVV are unsuitable for evaluation of the conditions aboard while the other investigated measures show potential in this respect. Further the approach of ISO 2631-5:2004 taking both the short-term and the long-term perspectives on the human exposure to vibration is concluded to be the most mature method well suited to evaluation of HSC conditions.

Term Analysis

The long term analysis is performed to predict the hull global motion and mooring strength of a Spar platform and the results from long term analysis are compared with the predictions from the short term analysis. The long term motions are also used to investigate the long term riser strength response in Ref. [5]. The results includes the lateral offset, heel angle, heave motion and the mooring line tension at the fairleads. In the short term analysis, the environment events with various return periods and various realizations are considered for each environment load. The Gumbel fitting is used to predict the extreme response. In the long term analysis methodology, the prediction of the global performance and the mooring tension are based on 56-year hindcast wind and wave data with 3-hour intervals. Weibull fitting is used to predict the extreme response for various return periods. The comparison between the long term and the short term predictions indicate that the short term predictions are generally conservative compared to the more accurate, but computationally expensive long term analysis method. The long term methodology is not widely adopted currently due to the computation inefficiency. However, it is expected that this long term methodology could provide a better option in the future with the consideration of its accuracy and the application of high speed computer.

Effect Of Surface

N-type 4H-SiC homo-epitaxial films were grown on 150 mm diameter wafers by high speed wafer rotation vertical CVD tool, and effect of surface C/Si ratio on short-term and long-term repeatability of the SiC films was investigated. By tuning of growth condition, high uniform SiC film with in-wafer thickness uniformity of ±2.8 % (1.6 % σ/mean) and carrier concentration uniformity of ±3.1 % (1.9 % σ/mean) was successfully grown at higher introduced C/Si ratio of about 1.80, which corresponds to surface C/Si ratio higher than 1.0 on the whole wafer. This result was comparable to the film grown at lower introduced C/Si ratio of about 1.35, which corresponds to surface C/Si ratio lower than 1.0 on the whole wafer. On the other hand, the films on 13 wafers successively grown at higher introduced C/Si ratio indicated low fluctuation from 1.85 to 3.09 % (σ/mean), and the short-term repeatability of the in-wafer carrier concentration uniformity of the films grown at higher introduced C/Si ratio was improved compared with the films grown at lower introduced C/Si ratio. Additionally, in-wafer carrier concentration uniformity of the films on 171 wafers grown at higher introduced C/Si ratio showed 75 % quartile of 4.26 % (σ/mean), and this result was greatly superior to that of 8.21 % (σ/mean) for the films on 130 wafers grown at lower introduced C/Si ratio.

AbstractOn the basis of 11 years of UBV photometry the light and color variability of the long-period RS CVn binary HK Lac (KOIII) is discussed. From the U-B data, which reflect the chromospheric activity, a quasi-periodic variation with the cycle length of about 5.5 years is suspected. Less evidently, a 2.7 years long overall spot coverage cycle is seen from the V(max) data.No cyclic variation is found from the B-V data representing the photospheric temperature conditions, although there is an indication that the star was the reddest around 1985, when the chromospheric activity was in maximum.At that time, in late 1985, we observed the star on 6 nights in UBV color in order to detect short-term variability. Fluctuations up to 0.03 magn. on time scales of 20-30 minutes were likely present. The mplitude is the highest in U colour.
