High Resolution Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) with the XE-Series Atomic Force Microscope from Park Systems - AZoNano.com
21 May 2012, 11:54 pm
inhomogeneity in the thermal conductivity, due to impurities in HSQ composition, is observed in contrast to a flat topography. Such high thermal resolution and sensitivity can be only realized by the XE-series SThM. Figure 7. (a) High resolution ...

Embedding Topic Discovery in Conditional Random Fields Model for Segmenting Nuclei Using Multispectral Data - IEEE Spectrum
18 May 2012, 9:03 am
In our approach, the contextual information is extracted by an unsupervised topic discovery process, which efficiently helps to suppress segmentation errors caused by intensity inhomogeneity and variable chromatin texture. In addition, we propose a ...

Steel-aluminum foam sandwich weld holds promise for shipbuilding weight savings - Marine Log
16 May 2012, 4:48 am
However, steel-aluminum lightweight structures are difficult to weld, due to inhomogeneity of the foam core, high stiffness, and the material thicknesses. One problem is, for example, the thermal effects of foaming the aluminum core in mixed sandwich ...
