Internal multiple attenuation using inverse scattering: Results from prestack...Arthur Weglein
The attenuation of internal multiples in a multidimensional
earth is an important and longstanding problem in exploration
seismics. In this paper we report the results of applying
an attenuation algorithm based on the inverse scattering
series to synthetic prestack data sets generated in on
and two dimensional earth models. The attenuation algorithm
requires no information about the subsurface structure
or the velocity field. However, detailed information about
the source wavelet is a prerequisite. An attractive feature of:
the attenuation algorithm is the preservation of the amplitude
(and phase) of primary events in the data; thus allowing for
subsequent AVO and other true amplitude processing.

Investigation of Steady-State Carrier Distribution in CNT Porins in Neuronal ...Kyle Poe
In this work, the carrier distribution of a carbon nanotube inserted into the spinal ganglion neuronal membrane is examined. After primary characterization based on previous work, the nanotube is approximated as a one-dimensional system, and the Poisson and Schrödinger equations are solved using an iterative finite-difference scheme. It was found that carriers aggregate near the center of the tube, with a negative carrier density of ⟨ρn⟩ = 7.89 × 10^13 cm−3 and positive carrier density of ⟨ρp⟩ = 3.85 × 10^13 cm−3. In future work, the erratic behavior of convergence will be investigated.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data represents a significant resource of information for a large variety of researchers. Thus, there is a strong interest in developing data encoding and decoding algorithms which can obtain higher compression ratios while keeping image quality to an acceptable level. In this work, results of different wavelet-based image compression and segmentation based wavelet image compression are assessed through controlled experiments on synthetic SAR images. The effects of dissimilar wavelet functions, number of decompositions are examined in order to find optimal family for SAR images. The choice of optimal wavelets in segmentation based wavelet image compression is coiflet for low frequency and high frequency component. The results presented here is a good reference for SAR application developers to choose the wavelet families and also it concludes that wavelets transform is rapid, robust and reliable tool for SAR image compression. Numerical results confirm the potency of this approach.

ANALYSIS OF INTEREST POINTS OF CURVELET COEFFICIENTS CONTRIBUTIONS OF MICROS...sipij
This paper focuses on improved edge model based on Curvelet coefficients analysis. Curvelet transform is
a powerful tool for multiresolution representation of object with anisotropic edge. Curvelet coefficients
contributions have been analyzed using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), commonly used to study
local structure in images. The permutation of Curvelet coefficients from original image and edges image
obtained from gradient operator is used to improve original edges. Experimental results show that this
method brings out details on edges when the decomposition scale increases.
Optimization of Aberrated Coherent Optical SystemsIOSR Journals
The images of a straight edge in coherent illumination, produced by an optical system with circular aperture and apodised with amplitude filters have been studied. The image quality assessment parameters such as edge-ringing, edge-gradient and edge-shift of the edge fringes have been studied as a function of apodisation parameter for various degrees of defocus, Coma and primary spherical aberrations. It is found that, at certain combinations of aberrations the quality of the image of straight edge objects can be improved
Robust Image Denoising in RKHS via Orthogonal Matching PursuitPantelis Bouboulis
We present a robust method for the image denoising task based on kernel ridge regression and sparse modeling. Added noise is assumed to consist of two parts. One part is impulse noise assumed to be sparse (outliers), while the other part is bounded noise. The noisy image is divided into small regions of interest, whose pixels are regarded as points of a two-dimensional surface. A kernel based ridge regression method, whose parameters are selected adaptively, is employed to fit the data, whereas the outliers are detected via the use of the increasingly popular orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. To this end, a new variant of the OMP rationale is employed that has the additional advantage to automatically terminate, when all outliers have been selected.
Designing geometric parameters of axisymmetrical cassegrain antenna and corru...Editor Jacotech
Early detection of faults occurring in three-phase induction motors can appreciably reduce the costs of maintenance, which could otherwise be too much costly to repair. Internal faults in three phase induction motors can result in significant performance degradation and eventual system failures. Artificial intelligence techniques have numerous advantages over conventional Model-based and Signal Processing fault diagnostic approaches; therefore, in this paper, a soft-computing system was studied through Neural Network Analysis to detect and diagnose the stator and rotor faults. The fault diagnostic system for three-phase induction motors samples the fault symptoms and then uses a Neural Network model to first train and then identify the fault which gives fast accurate diagnostics. This approach can also be extended to other applications.
Gravitational lensing for interstellar power transmissionSérgio Sacani
We investigate light propagation in the gravitational field of multiple gravitational lenses. Assuming these lenses are sufficiently spaced to prevent interaction, we consider a linear alignment for the
transmitter, lenses, and receiver. Remarkably, in this axially-symmetric configuration, we can solve
the relevant diffraction integrals – result that offers valuable analytical insights. We show that the
point-spread function (PSF) is affected by the number of lenses in the system. Even a single lens is
useful for transmission either it is used as a part of the transmitter or it acts on the receiver’s side.
We show that power transmission via a pair of lenses benefits from light amplification on both ends
of the link. The second lens plays an important role by focusing the signal to a much tighter spot;
but in practical lensing scenarios, that lens changes the structure of the PSF on scales much smaller
than the telescope, so that additional gain due to the presence of the second lens is independent of its
properties and is govern solely by the transmission geometry. While evaluating the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) in various transmitting scenarios, we see that a single-lens transmission performs on par
with a pair of lenses. The fact that the second lens amplifies the brightness of the first one, creates a
challenging background for signal reception. Nevertheless, in all the cases considered here, we have
found practically-relevant SNR values. As a result, we were able to demonstrate the feasibility of
establishing interstellar power transmission links relying on gravitational lensing – a finding with
profound implications for applications targeting interstellar power transmission.
APPLICATION OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION TO MICROWAVE TAPERED MICROSTRIP LINEScseij
Application of metaheuristic algorithms has been of continued interest in the field of electrical engineering because of their powerful features. In this work special design is done for a tapered transmission line used for matching an arbitrary real load to a 50Ω line. The problem at hand is to match this arbitray load to 50 Ω line using three section tapered transmission line with impedances in decreasing order from the load. So the problem becomes optimizing an equation with three unknowns with various conditions. The optimized values are obtained using Particle Swarm Optimization. It can easily be shown that PSO is very strong in solving this kind of multiobjective optimization problems.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Consequently the axial electric field E u is pro-
portional to the Fourier transform Q u of the pupil
function q s expressed in s coordinates. For a rect-
angular pupil function, the electric field is a sinc
function in the u direction centered at the focal point
of the lens. As the pupil aperture a decreases, the fo-
cus broadens along the z axis. We can relate the u
and z dimensions by using u − u0 a2 z − f / 2 f 2 .
The initial results using the fast Fourier transform
(FFT) were good, but there were problems (such as
the Gibbs overshoot in the rectangle response func-

improve the results. Figure 1(a) shows the desired
