The paper concerns numerical analysis of thermal phenomena occurring in the butt welding of two different materials by a laser beam welding.The temperature distribution for the welded butt-joint is obtained on the basis of numerical simulations performed in the ABAQUS cool splash dwarf bush honeysuckle program.Numerical analysis takes into account
We need data sets of images and subjective scores to develop robust no reference (or blind) visual quality metrics for consumer applications.These applications have many uncontrolled variables because the camera creates the original media and the impairment simultaneously.We do not fully understand how this impacts the integrity of our subjective d
Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is gradually being applied to hurricane observation because of its all-weather, high-resolution observation capability.In particular, the retrieval of rain rate using SAR images holds significant scientific and practical importance.However, accurately retrieving rain rate over the sea surface, particularly
The need for resilient health systems is recognized as important for the attainment of health outcomes, given the current shocks to health services.Resilience has been defined as the capacity to "prepare and effectively respond to crises; maintain core functions; and, informed by lessons learnt, reorganize if conditions require it".There is however
