In this paper we examine an Information-Theoretic method for solving noisy linear inverse estimation<em> </em>problems which encompasses under a single framework a whole class of estimation methods.Under this framework, the prior information about the unknown parameters (when such information exists), and constraints on the parameters c
Durability of Stone Cladding in Buildings: A Case Study of Marble Slabs Affected by Bowing
Bowing is an uncommon pathology that can affect marble stone cladding of building façades, causing a large permanent deflection and the degradation of the flexural and anchoring strength of the stone slabs, which can lead to the cladding falling from the façades.Moreover, the combination of bowing with wind pressure effects on the buildin
Abstract P-22: The Tannoglobule is a Phenolic Compounds Compartment of the Maloideae (Rosaceae) Pericarp Cells
Background: In the Maloideae, pericarp cells were discovered, previously not described for this subfamily, the structural units of tannosome.Data on the tannosomes merge in the vacuoles to form tannoglobules has been obtained for the Salt Cap Cover first time.Methods: The samples were fixed in glutaraldehyde and subjected to a standard procedure of
Music-stylized hierarchical dance synthesis with user control
Background: Synthesizing dance motions to match musical inputs is a significant challenge in animation research.Compared to functional human motions, such as locomotion, dance motions are creative and artistic, often influenced by music, and can be independent body language expressions.Dance choreography requires motion content to follow a general
