We present a new edge recognition technology based on the normalized vertical derivative of the total horizontal derivative which has the functions of both edge detection and enhancement techniques. First, we calculate the total horizontal derivative (THDR) of the potential-field data and then compute the n-order vertical derivative (VDRn) of the THDR. For the n-order vertical derivative, the peak value of total horizontal derivative (PTHDR) is obtained using a threshold value greater than 0. This PTHDR can be used for edge detection. Second, the PTHDR value is divided by the total horizontal derivative and normalized by the maximum value. Finally, we used different kinds of numerical models to verify the effectiveness and reliability of the new edge recognition technology.展开更多

This included a development of a technique of the AFM visualization of segments of a vertical edge of thin insulator SiO2 film structures on a conductive substrate, a comparison of AFM topography and current profilograms for the edge profiles, and an Omicron microscope custom upgrade. The latter allowed us to perform the AFM probe positioning to any specific area of the sample in the scanning plane by two coordinates with an order of precision of 1 micrometer. The method is illustrated with the experimental results of AFM investigations of the special MIM structures with comb-type topology, and of the cells of functioning memory matrices with 20 nm thin silicon dioxide film open edge perimeter and TiN lower electrode, including topography/current profilograms. As a conclusion, our ongoing work on the AFM visualization of a complete perimeter of a SiO2 open edge of memory cells with a special new topology with a goal to visualize conductive phase nanoparticles during switching processes is briefly overviewed.展开更多

Chang 9 sand body mainly developed five basic vertical structures, namely box shape, campaniform, infundibuliform, finger and dentoid. The vertical stacking patterns of multilayer sand body was complex, and the common shapes included box shape + box shape, campaniform + campaniform, campaniform + box shape, infundibuliform + infundibuliform, campaniform + infundibuliform, box shape + campaniform, box shape + infundibuliform,and finger + finger. Based on the analysis on major dominating factors of vertical structure of sand body, sedimentary environment,sedimentary facies and rise, fall and cycle of base level are identified as the major geological factors that control the vertical structure of single sand body as well as vertical stacking patterns and distribution of multistory sand bodies.展开更多

A comparison between two situations is done under the effect of MHD (magnetohydrodynamics) and radiation. In the two situations, the vertical walls of the cylinder are cooled with constant wall temperature and a constant heat generation subjected along the centerline of the cylinder. The first case for cylinder with insulated upper surface and cooled bottom surface while the second case for cylinder with cooled upper surface and insulated bottom surface. The governing equations used are continuity, momentum and energy equations which are transformed to dimensionless equations. The finite difference approach is used to obtain all the computational results using the MATLAB-7 programming. The parameters affected the system are Rayleigh number ranging within (102≤ Ra ≤104), radiation parameter (0≤ Rd ≤ 2) and magnetohydrodynamics MHD (Mn) (0 ≤ Mn≤ 2).The results show that the temperature of Case 1 is more than that in Case 2 at constant Ra, Mn and Rd while the value of the stream in Case 2 is greater than that in Case 1. Nu increase with the increase of Rd and increasing Mn caused the temperature to increase and the streamline dropped while Nu decreased. A correlation has been set up to give the average Nusselt number variation with Ra, Rd and Mn for which the results are found to be in good agreement with previously published researches.展开更多
