In this study, we proposed a new approach to assessing the processes of complexation in aqueous solutions using the example of the interaction of lead chloride with thiourea. The goal of this study was the investigation of processes of complexation in “PbCl2-N2H4CS” aqueous solutions and determination of the regions of dominance of thiourea coordination compounds, which are precursors during the deposition of lead sulphide films.Based on the diagrams and cross section lines of equal fractions constructed in three-dimensional space, the regions of dominance of all complex forms existing in the studied solution were found. Such a graphic image is the most informative, since it allows selection of the concentration ranges of the predominance of certain coordination compounds, especially thiourea complexes, which are precursors during the deposition of lead sulphide films. It was shown that an increase in the concentration of N2H4CS led to an increase in the total fraction of thiourea complexes: for a twofold excess of N2H4CS its fraction was 0.25, for a threefold excess it was 0.35, for a fourfold excess it was 0.5, for a fivefold excess it was 0.7.

Remote sensing of the earth and monitoring of various phenomena have been and still remain an important task for solving various problems. One of them is the forest pathology dynamics determining. Assuming its dependence on various factors forest pathology can be either short-term or long-term. Sometimes it is necessary to analyze satellite images within a period of several years in order to determine the dynamics of forest pathology. So it is connected with some special aspects and makes such analysis in manual mode impossible. At the same time automated methods face the problem of identifying a series of suitable images even though they are not covered by clouds, shadows, turbulence and other distortions. Classical methods of nebulosity determination based either on neural network or decision functions do not always give an acceptable result, because the cloud coverage by itself can be either of cirrus intortus type or insignificant within the image, but in case of cloudiness it can be the reason for wrong analysis of the area under examination. The article proposes a new approach for the analysis and selection of images based on key point detectors connected neither with cloudiness determination nor distorted area identification, but with the extraction of suitable images eliminating those that by their characteristics are unfit for forest pathology determination. Experiments have shown that the accuracy of this approach is higher than of currently used method in GIS, which is based on cloud detector.

Adaptive multidimensional signal interpolators are developed. These interpolators take into account the presence and direction of boundaries of flat signal regions in each local neighborhood based on the automatic selection of the interpolating function for each signal sample. The selection of the interpolating function is performed by a parameterized rule, which is optimized in a parametric lower dimensional space. The dimension reduction is performed using rank filtering of local differences in the neighborhood of each signal sample. The interpolating functions of adaptive interpolators are written for the multidimensional, three-dimensional and two-dimensional cases. The use of adaptive interpolators in the problem of compression of multidimensional signals is also considered. Results of an experimental study of adaptive interpolators for real multidimensional signals of various types are presented.

Digital Inline Holography (DIH) is used in many fields of Three-Dimensional (3D) imaging to locate micro or nano-particles in a volume and determine their size, shape or trajectories. A variety of different wavefront reconstruction approaches have been developed for 3D profiling and tracking to study particles’ morphology or visualize flow fields. The novel application of Holographic Particle Counters (HPCs) requires observing particle densities in a given sampling volume which does not strictly necessitate the reconstruction of particles. Such typically spherical objects yield circular intereference patterns—also referred to as fringe patterns—at the hologram plane which can be detected by simpler Two-Dimensional (2D) image processing means. The determination of particle number concentrations (number of particles/unit volume [#/cm 3 ]) may therefore be based on the counting of fringe patterns at the hologram plane. In this work, we explain the nature of fringe patterns and extract the most relevant features provided at the hologram plane. The features aid the identification and selection of suitable pattern recognition techniques and its parameterization. We then present three different techniques which are customized for the detection and counting of fringe patterns and compare them in terms of detection performance and computational speed.

Asbestos is a hazardous mineral, as well as a common and well-known issue worldwide. However, amphiboles equal in composition but not in morphology, as well as the fibrous antigorite and lizardite, are not classified as asbestos even if more common than other forms of the mineral. Still, their potential hazardous properties requires further exploration. The proposed multi-instrumental approach focuses on the influence of textural constraints on the subsequent origin of asbestiform products in massive rock. This aspect has a significant effect on diagnostic policies addressing environmental monitoring and the clinical perspective. Concerning minerals that are chemically and geometrically (length > 5 μm, width < 3 μm and length:diameter > 3:1) but not morphologically analogous to regulated asbestos, the debate about their potential hazardous properties is open and ongoing. Therefore, a selection of various lithotypes featuring the challenging identification of fibrous phases with critical counting dimensions was investigated; this selection consisted of two serpentinites, one metabasalt and one pyroxenite. The analytical protocol included optical microscopy (OM), scanning and transmission electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM/EDS; TEM/EDS), micro-Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation X-ray microtomography (SR X-ray μCT). The latter is an original non-destructive approach that allows the observation of the fiber arrangement in a three-dimensional space, avoiding morphological influence as a result of comminution.

The determination of the critical path (CP) in stochastic networks is difficult. It is partly due to the randomness of path durations and partly due to the probability issue of the selection of the critical path in the network. What we are confronted with is not only the complexity among random variables but also the problem of path dependence of the network. Besides, we found that CP is not necessarily the longest (or shortest) path in the network, which was a conventional assumption in use. The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Index (CPI) approaches are not able to deal with this problem efficiently. In this study, we give a new definition on the CP in stochastic network and propose a modified label-correcting tracing algorithm (M-LCTA) to solve it. Based on the numerical results, compared with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), the proposed approach can accurately determine the CP in stochastic networks.

SUMMARYThe consideration of part motion instability is crucial to the determination of assembly sequence since this affects the complexity of fixtures and dexterity of robots. This paper presents a new approach to the inference of robotic assembly sequences, taking into consideration the instability of base assembly motions. Based upon the evaluation of motion instability, the method generates stable assembly sequences by use of the precedence constraint inference method previously developed by the authors. An example assembly of a 10-part electrical relay is given to illustrate the concepts and procedure of the proposed scheme. The results show that the proposed method can be effectively utilized to generate stable assembly sequences, thus providing crucial information on the fixture design and selection of types of assembly robots.

In [4] Kauffman and Vogel constructed a rigid vertex regular isotopy invariant for unoriented four-valent graphs embedded in three dimensional space. It assigns to each embedded graph G a polynomial, denoted [G], in three variables, A, B and a, satisfying the skein relations: [Formula: see text] and is defined in terms of a state-sum and the Dubrovnik polynomial for links. Using the graphical calculus of [4] it is shown that the polynomial of a planar graph can be calculated recursively from that of planar graphs with less vertices, which also allows the polynomial of an embedded graph to be calculated without resorting to links. The same approach is used to give a direct proof of uniqueness of the (normalized) polynomial restricted to planar graphs. In the case B=A-1 and a=A, it is proved that for a planar graph G we have [G]=2c-1(-A-A-1)v, where c is the number of connected components of G and v is the number of vertices of G. As a corollary, a necessary, but not sufficient, condition is obtained for an embedded graph to be ambient isotopic to a planar graph. In an appendix it is shown that, given a polynomial for planar graphs satisfying the graphical calculus, and imposing the first skein relation above, the polynomial extends to a rigid vertex regular isotopy invariant for embedded graphs, satisfying the remaining skein relations. Thus, when existence of the planar polynomial is guaranteed, this provides a direct way, not depending on results for the Dubrovnik polynomial, to show consistency of the polynomial for embedded graphs.

The paper describes shale gas borehole axes trajectories (vertical, horizontal, multilateral). The methodology of trajectory design in a two-and three-dimensional space has been developed. The selection of the profile type of the trajectory axes of the directional borehole depends on the technical and technological possibilities of its implementation and the results of a comprehensive economic analysis of the availability and development of the field. The work assumes the possibility of a multivariate design of trajectories depending on the accepted (available or imposed) input data.
