The automated image processing algorithm performed the following procedures: (1) original data were contrast enhanced by histogram equalization; (2) spatial pixelation effects of the imaging probe were removed by applying Gaussian blurring (sigma equals to the core-to-core distance of 4.5 micron) [ 20]; (3) gray-thresholding was applied and the image went through an edge detector.
It is assumed that dislocation nucleation occurs when the distance between the dislocation and indenter is equal to the dislocation core radius.
It implies that there is an intermediate distance, assumed to be h0, at which the dislocation remains in equilibrium, such that: From the R-T dislocation model strategy, when this distance is equal to the dislocation core radius, it is assumed that nucleation occurs.
Once the envelope mass became about equal to the solid core mass, growth proceeded very rapidly, reaching about 150 Earth masses ~105 years thereafter and finally topping out at.
The gap between the two halves of the cut core was adjusted to obtain the initial permeability μ i10 = 500 equal to the permeability of the core made of the rapid-heated ribbon (under tensile stress at 100 MPa).
The maximum number of processes used to compute the 3D-DWT is equal to the number of cores available minus one since this core (or process) is used to compute the coding stage.
The scoring system of triplicate tumor cores included intensity of staining (0, none; 1+, weak; 2+, moderate; 3+, strong) plus extent of staining, which was equal to the number of cores with a positive staining (extent 0, no staining in three cores; 1, only one core had a positive staining; 2, only 2 cores had a positive staining; 3, all three cores had the positive staining).
More precisely, the "circularity coefficient" determines whether the circularity of the core shell nanoparticle is higher, lower or equal to the circularity of the core.
Benchmarking with multi-core CPUs shows speedup roughly equal to the number of physical cores.
