A Study of Moment Based Features on Handwritten Digit Recognition by Pawan Kumar Singh, Ram Sarkar, Mita Nasipuri

“…A 130-element feature set which is basically a combination of six different types of moments, namely, geometric moment, moment invariant, affine moment invariant, Legendre moment, Zernike moment, and complex moment, has been estimated for each digit sample. Finally, the technique is evaluated on CMATER and MNIST databases using multiple classifiers and, after performing statistical significance tests, it is observed that Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) classifier outperforms the others. …”

Tissue Anisotropy Modeling Using Soft Composite Materials by Arnab Chanda, Christian Callaway

“…The fiber volume fraction (FVF), fiber spacing, and orientations were varied to estimate the changes in the mechanical responses. The mechanical behavior of the soft composites was characterized using hyperelastic material models such as Mooney-Rivlin’s, Humphrey’s, and Veronda-Westmann’s model and also compared with the anisotropic mechanical behavior of the human skin, pelvic tissues, and brain tissues. …”

O istotnych kontrowersjach wokół oceny zagrożeń środowiska i jego naprawy by Konrad Gałuszko

“…The key dissents on the estimation of environmental pollution between some humanists, ecophilosophers, especially devotees of deep ecology and its mass media supporters, and experimental scientists chiefly chemists and toxicologists are presented by a discussion of the most important problems: human health risk from food and nutrition, the expansion of new biological agents (pathogens), fears of chemical and physical agents stimulated opinions of toxicologists (ecotoxicologists) about most of the compounds for food preservation, antioxidants, pesticides, engine fuel components, metals. …”

Non-diagonal DVCS and transition GPDs: a unified framework for spinless hadron case γ * π → γππ by Sangyeong Son, Kirill M. Semenov-Tian-Shansky

“…We construct the partial wave expansion of π → ππ transition GPDs in the two-pion decay angles and employ the dispersive approach to constrain π → ππ transition GPDs in terms of ππ-scattering phases with help of the Omnès representation. We estimate the e − π + → e − γπ + π 0 cross section in the kinematics of the JLab@12 GeV incorporating the isolated ρ(770) resonance state and work out the angular distributions of the cross section, specifying the observables sensitive to the polarization states of the produced ρ(770) resonance.…”
