The V ( z ) Inversion Technique for Evaluation of an Adhesively Bonded Structure

Jing Liu, Wei-Jiang Xu, Wen-Xiang Hu, Mohamed Ourak, André Dubois

Based on the fact that the evolution trace in incident angle and frequency of the resonance zeros of the reflection coefficient function for a water charged layered medium is equivalent to its guided wave mode dispersion, the interfacial adhesion of a three-layer aluminum–adhesive–aluminum bonding…

Gender and texture classification: A comparative analysis using 13 variants of local binary patterns

Abdenour Hadid, Juha Ylioinas, Messaoud Bengherabi, Mohammad Ghahramani, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

Among very popular local image descriptors which has shown interesting results in extracting soft facial biometric traits is the local binary patterns (LBP). LBP is a gray-scale invariant texture operator which labels the pixels of an image by thresholding the neighborhood of each pixel with the…

Decay rate performance approach for stabilization continuous fuzzy models using their discretized forms

Ameni Ellouze, François Delmotte, Jimmy Lauber, Mohamed Chtourou, Mohamed Ksantini

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to deal with the stabilization of the continuous Takagi Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models using their discretized forms based on the decay rate performance approach. Design/methodology/approach – This approach is structured as follows: first, a discrete model is…

Exploiting Reverse Correlation for the Generation of Virtual Characters from Personality Traits

Fabrizio Nunnari, Alexis Heloir

Judging from appearance, most people assign personality traits to virtual characters. This paper presents a platform capable of generating online Reverse Correlation experiments for studying the relations between the appearance of virtual characters and their assumed personality. The method used by…

Prostate contours delineation using interactive directional active contours model and parametric shape prior model

Foued Derraz, Gérard Forzy, Arnaud Delebarre, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed, Mourad Oussalah, Laurent Peyrodie, Sebastien Verclytte

Prostate contours delineation on Magnetic Resonance (MR) images is a challenging and important task in medical imaging with applications of guiding biopsy, surgery and therapy. While a fully automated method is highly desired for this application, it can be a very difficult task due to the…

Experimental and theoretical investigation of Stirling engine heater: Parametrical optimization

Ramla Gheith, Houda Hachem, Fethi Aloui, Sassi Ben Nasrallah

The aim of this work is to optimize γ Stirling engine performances with a special care given to the heater. This latter consists of 20 tubes in order to increase the exchange area between the working gas and the hot source. Different parameters were chosen to evaluate numerically and experimentally…

Solving the planar p-median problem by variable neighborhood and concentric searches

Zvi Drezner, Jack Brimberg, Nenad Mladenovic, Said Salhi

Two new approaches for the solution of the p-median problem in the plane are proposed. One is a Variable Neighborhood Search and the other one is a concentric search. Both approaches are enhanced by a front-end procedure for finding good starting solutions and a decomposition heuristic acting as a…

New heuristic for harmonic means clustering

Emilio Carrizosa, Abdulrahman Al-Guwaizani, Pierre Hansen, Nenad Mladenovic

It is well known that some local search heuristics for K-clustering problems, such as k-means heuristic for minimum sum-of-squares clustering occasionally stop at a solution with a smaller number of clusters than the desired number K. Such solutions are called degenerate. In this paper, we reveal…

Multi-objective variable neighborhood search: an application to combinatorial optimization problems

Abraham Duarte, Juan Pantrigo, Eduardo G Pardo, Nenad Mladenovic

Solutions to real-life optimization problems usually have to be evaluated con-sidering multiple conflicting objectives. These kind of problems, known as multi-objectiveoptimization problems, have been mainly solved in the past by using evolutionary algo-rithms. In this paper, we explore the…
