1.1 This guide covers the dispersion in liquids of metal powders and related compounds for subsequent use in particle size analysis instruments. This guide describes a general procedure for achieving and determining dispersion; it also lists procedures that are currently in general use for certai...

1.1 This test method, when used in conjunction with a test performed by Method D422 on a duplicate soil sample, provides an indication of the natural dispersive characteristics of clay soils (1).

1.2 This test method is applicable only to soils with a plasticity index gre...

This paper discusses the algorithms for achieving global states and self-stabilization for communication protocols. It first describes a primary algorithm including its suitability for achieving global states and limitation of self-stabilization for communication protocols. and then presents an impr...

A novel multi-view 3D face registration method based on principal axis analysis and labeled regions orientation called local orientation registration is proposed. The pre-registration is achieved by transforming the multi-pose models to the standard frontal model's reference frame using the principa...

Ontology evolution is the timely adaptation of ontologies to changing requirements, which is becoming more and more important as ontologies become widely used in different fields. This paper shows how to address the problem of evolving ontologies with less manual case-based reasoning using an automa...
