Nonetheless, recognizing the inherent tendency of inhomogeneity in CT images from scan to scan, a region growing threshold is devised in terms of the standard deviation of the image under consideration.
Thermo-mechanical aspects of component and system reliability become more and more important with growing miniaturization as the local physical parameters and field quantities show an increase in sensitivity due to inhomogeneities in local stresses, strains and temperature fields.
Room-temperature investigations apply several techniques (polarization microscopy, single-molecule imaging, emission time dependence, energy transfer, lifetime studies, and the like) to a growing array of biophysical problems where new insight may be gained from direct observations of hidden static and dynamic inhomogeneity.
In a radial direction the growing disturbances are localized in the region of pressure gradient, whereas the scale of fundamental mode is about the pressure inhomogeneity scale.
We begin our investigations by addressing the inhomogeneities that are expected to play an important role in the evolution of the structural properties of networks aggregated over growing time intervals.
Wood, as a naturally grown material, is affected by growth inhomogeneities like branches.
In the hierarchical scenario of structure formation, galaxies formed and evolved inside dark matter halos, which grew under the effect of gravity, starting from tiny inhomogeneities in the primordial density field (see, e.g. White and Rees, 1978).
In the present study we propose a new explanation for the 2 3 2 transformation behaviour which consists of two basic elements: (1) The composition inhomogeneity which evolves during ageing as Ni4Ti3 precipitates grow.
The fabrication of these nanostructures is often accompanied by composition inhomogeneities, as in the case of Stranski-Krastanov grown self-assembled islands[6].
First Ge single crystals grown under nearly optimal conditions show reduced macro- and micro-inhomogeneities, relatively low dislocation density of (3 10)×102 cm−2, and high carrier mobility of μp=2800 cm2 V−1 s−1.
