Color quantitation through image processing in dermatology

Classical color models and their applications to computer vision are reviewed. The performances of color quantitation from digitized images are compared with those derived from a chromameter. The color quantitation obtained from either digitized color slides or directly digitized images is proved to be more efficient than the conventional visual assessment of observers. A methodology is proposed for determining the specific color indices which are needed in dermatology. An application of this methodology is developed for designing a blanching quantitation index in order to replace the visual assessment during McKenzie tests.     

Small blaze angle gratings with various surface treatments for use in the extreme ultraviolet

Three replica gratings were made from a single master; two were epoxy overcoated with different thicknesses of gold, and one was replicated directly in gold. Their performance in EUV light at grazing incidence angles was measured and compared.     

非饱和水力传导系数的简易实验室测量方法

本文描述一种采用常规的实验装置在短时间内测量土层非饱和水力传导率的简易方法,称为"向上入渗法".这一方法基于在控制压力的条件下测量土的吸水量,从而来估算土层在湿润状态下的水力传导系数.将其结果与恒定加水量法、小增量压力变化法、一步法以及杰克逊理论模型的计算结果进行了比较.采用向上入渗法与采用恒定加水量法的结果很接近,但稍大于一步法而小于杰克逊理论模型的结果.这种测定方法限定负压值约为一米.     

计算机模拟扫描电镜颗粒边缘粗糙度外貌特征

各种石英颗粒表面特征的发育与否,是任何扫描电镜分析重建地质环境的基础,对于在石英颗粒表面获得的许多可见特征来说,虽然已有许多"清单"(Krinsley和Donahue,1968:Cater,1984),但是,专门检测技术的有效性还是一个争论的问题.由这类分析获得的最为重要的物理参数之一是边缘磨蚀,因为圆度值是一种发现于石英砂颗粒的主要形态特征.例如,1984年Goudie和Bull发现两类非洲沉积物之间的主要差异是,在深度风化剖面中总体缺乏边缘磨蚀颗粒,并以此为基础建立了该研究区的斜坡
