Small scale problems of the ΛCDM model: A short review
(2017-02-20)
The ΛCDM model, or concordance cosmology, as it is often called, is a paradigm at its maturity. It is clearly able to describe the universe at large scale, even if some issues remain open, such as the cosmological constant ...
Plant Species Identification Using Multi-scale Fractal Dimension Applied to Images of Adaxial Surface Epidermis
(Springer, 2009-01-01)
This paper presents the study of computational methods applied to histological texture analysis in order to identify plant species, a very difficult task due to the great similarity among sortie species and presence of ...
Predicting the behaviour of structures under impact loads using geometrically distorted scaled models
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTDOXFORD, 2012)
When a scaled structure (model or replica) is used to predict the response of a full-size compound (prototype), the model geometric dimensions should relate to the corresponding prototype dimensions by a single scaling ...
