Abstract Tear film, the outermost layer of the eye, is a complex and dynamic structure responsible for tear production. The tear film lipid layer is a vital component of the tear film that provides a smooth optical surface for the cornea and wetting the ocular surface. Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a symptomatic disease caused by reduced tear production, poor tear quality, or excessive evaporation. Its diagnosis is a difficult task due to its multifactorial etiology. Out of several clinical tests available, the evaluation of the interference patterns of the tear film lipid layer forms a More >

Abstract With the ever growth of Internet users, video applications, and massive data traffic across the network, there is a higher need for reliable bandwidth-efficient multimedia communication. Versatile Video Coding (VVC/H.266) is finalized in September 2020 providing significantly greater compression efficiency compared to Highest Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) while providing versatile effective use for Ultra-High Definition (HD) videos. This article analyzes the quality performance of convolutional codes, turbo codes and self-concatenated convolutional (SCC) codes based on performance metrics for reliable future video communication. The advent of turbo codes was a significant achievement ever in the era… More >

Abstract The aim is to study the asymptotic behavior of the temperature field for the laminar forced convection of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid flowing in a circular duct considering both viscous dissipation and axial heat conduction. The asymptotic bulk and mixing Nusselt numbers and the asymptotic bulk and mixing temperature distribution are evaluated analytically in the cases of uniform wall temperature and convection with an external isothermal fluid. In particular, it has been proved that the fully developed value of Nusselt number for convective boundary conditions is independent of the Biot number and is equal to the More >

Abstract Fingerprint identification systems have been widely deployed in many occasions of our daily life. However, together with many advantages, they are still vulnerable to the presentation attack (PA) by some counterfeit fingerprints. To address challenges from PA, fingerprint liveness detection (FLD) technology has been proposed and gradually attracted people's attention. The vast majority of the FLD methods directly employ convolutional neural network (CNN), and rarely pay attention to the problem of over-parameterization and over-fitting of models, resulting in large calculation force of model deployment and poor model generalization. Aiming at filling this gap, this paper… More >

Abstract Wind power conversion systems play a significant position in grid-coupled renewable source networks. In this paper, a permanent magnet based synchronous alternator type wind energy scheme is considered for analysis. The enhanced performance of wind power conversion could be reached by improving maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and by modernising the control circuit of the power electronic circuit. The main task is to enrich its performance level by proposing fuzzy gain scheduling (FGS) based optimal torque management for maximum power point tracking. In addition to the improved MPPT, this article analyses different topologies of direct More >

Abstract The present study focuses on the effects of viscous dissipation and axial heat conduction on the asymptotic behavior of the laminar forced convection in a circular duct for a Herschel-Bulkley fluid with variable wall heat flux. Analytical asymptotic solutions are presented for the case of axial variations of the wall heat flux, with finite non-vanishing values at infinity along the flow direction. The asymptotic bulk and mixing Nusselt numbers and the asymptotic bulk and mixing temperature distributions are evaluated analytically in the case of axially variable wall heat flux for which polynomial and logarithmic functions More >

Abstract Heat transfer effect on the flow of Herschel Bulkley fluid moving in a non-uniform channel is analyzed. The peristaltic wall is considered to be coated with a porous lining. The pertinent parameter effects are studied graphically for the analytical solutions of temperature profile, rate of temperature, heat transfer coefficient and mechanical efficiency. The temperature profile, heat transfer coefficient and the rate of temperature decrease with increase in the Darcy number. Thickening of the porous wall coating raises the temperature profile and the rate measure of temperature. Mechanical efficiency is more in a convergent channel than More >

Abstract A variety of exact analytical solutions describing natural and thermocapillary convection in a horizontal double layer system consisting of Newtonian and Herschel-Bulkley fluids subjected to longitudinal temperature and concentration gradients is constructed. The lower boundary of the system is a solid wall with no-slip, while the upper ones if either a solid wall or a free surface. It was demonstrated that, depending on the governing parameters of the system, viscoplastic layer is entirely yielded or unyielded, or it can be yielded partially, exhibiting up to 5 flowing and quasi-solid layers. The dependence of the flow More >
