Changes in the phenomenon of icon-painting in Romania from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present day by Draghici-Vasilescu, N

“…<p>The thesis aims to prove, on the one hand that the second half of the nineteenth century was the period of maximum deviation from the traditional Romanian style of icon-painting and, on the other hand, that the process following the Romanian Orthodox Church's Synod of 1889, in spite of the proclaimed return to a pure Byzantine style, actually has involved the coexistence of at least two main styles of painting: Eastern Mannerist of Byzantine lineage and Western Mannerist of <em>Renaissance</em> persuasion. …”

Improving visual quality of synthetic terrains using weathering simulation on graphics processing unit by Nguyen, Hoang Anh

“…While many algorithms have been developed to improve terrain visual quality, physically-based hydraulic erosion algorithms have gained much attention in recent years for its ability to generate realistic natural-looking terrains.

Fatigue investigations on steel pipeline containing 3D coplanar and non-coplanar cracks by Xiao, Zhongmin, Zhang, Wengang, Zhang, Yanmei, Fan, Mu

“…Fluctuated loadings from currents, waves and sea ground motions are observed on offshore steel pipelines, and they will result in small cracks to propagate continuously and cause unexpected damage to offshore/geotechnical infrastructures. In spite of the availability of efficient techniques and high-power computers for solving crack problems, investigations on the fatigue life of offshore pipelines with 3D interacting cracks are still rarely found in open literature. …”

Accumulated decoupled learning with gradient staleness mitigation for convolutional neural networks by Zhuang, Huiping, Weng, Zhenyu, Luo, Fulin, Toh, Kar-Ann, Li, Haizhou, Lin, Zhiping

“…As a new learning scheme, the proposed ADL is theoretically shown to converge to critical points in spite of its asynchronism. Extensive experiments on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets are conducted, demonstrating that ADL gives promising generalization results while the state-of-theart methods experience reduced generalization and divergence. …”

Egg development, hatching, and larval development of Marble Goby Oxyeleotris marmoratus under artificial rearing conditions by Senoo, Shigeharu, Kaneko, Masaharu, Cheah, Sin Hock, Ang, Kok Jee

“…All embryonic heads were located at the basal part of the egg and this was taken as normal egg development for O. marmoratus. In spite of their well-developed eyes and mouths, and the fact that they exhibited the active S-posture, the larvae did not feed on artificial powdered feed or Brachionus spp. for 4--6 days (d) AF, and the mortality before the feeding of Brachionus spp. was much higher than that of the later stages. …”

Stress analysis and stress intensity factor computation of DNV X65 pipes subjected to four point bending by Lee, Shaun Raphael Kwok Yuen

“…The upside of these high-pressure pipelines that are buried deep underground is the volume that it carries yearly and the design for safety in transportation compared to rail and road tanks. In spite of the high standards and regulations in place to ensure safe and secure pipelines, oil pipeline spills still amount to about a gallon per million barrel-miles, a figure drawn from the USA Association of Oil pipelines. …”
