Elucidation of thermally induced internal porosity in zinc oxide nanorods by Handoko, Albertus D., Liew, Laura-Lynn, Lin, Ming, Sankar, Gopinathan, Du, Yonghua, Su, Haibin, Dong, Zhili, Goh, Gregory Kia Liang

“…The pore volume growth rate is proportional to the heat treatment time, indicating that the process is diffusion controlled, akin to a reverse Ostwald ripening-like process. A manageable pore growth rate of 1.4–4.4 nm3·min−1 was observed at 540 °C, suggesting that the effective control over internal porosity can be achieved by carefully controlling the heat-treatment profile. …”

An image processing approach to feature-preserving B-spline surface fairing by Kawasaki, Taro, Jayaraman, Pradeep Kumar, Shida, Kentaro, Zheng, Jianmin, Maekawa, Takashi

“…This is inspired by the success of many recent research works on the use of normal field for reconstructing mesh models, and makes use of the impressive simplicity and effectiveness of bilateral-like filtering for image denoising. In particular, our approach adaptively partitions the B-spline surface into a set of segments such that each segment has approximately uniform parameterization, generates an image from each segment in the parameter space whose pixel values are the normal vectors of the surface, and then applies a bilateral filter in the parameter domain to fair the normal field. …”
