An Inverse Perspective Mapping-Based Approach for Generating Panoramic Images of Pipe Inner Surfaces.

We propose an algorithm for generating a panoramic image of a pipe's inner surface based on inverse perspective mapping (IPM). The objective of this study is to generate a panoramic image of the entire inner surface of a pipe for efficient crack detection, without relying on high-performance capturing equipment. Frontal images taken while passing through the pipe were converted to images of the inner surface of the pipe using IPM.

Effect of Graphene Thin Layer on a Static and Dynamic Magnetostrictive Behavior in TbDyFe Multi-Layered Film for Micro Energy Devices.

Magnetos-mechanical behaviors of TbDyFe/Graphene/TbDyFe film were compared with a tri-layered TbDyFe film to verify the effects of a graphene thin layer on the improvement of magnetic-mechanical performance, as well as decrease of dynamic response time under the low magnetic field. Both of the Heisenberg model and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation were used to calculate the magnetic domain motion. Time consumptions were simulated to determine a uniformly magnetized state in Graphene and TbDyFe layers.

Magnetostrictive Micro Mirrors for an Optical Switch Matrix.

We have developed a wireless-controlled compact optical switch by siliconmicromachining techniques with DC magnetron sputtering. For the optical switchingoperation, micro mirror is designed as cantilever shape size of 5mm×800μm×50μm.TbDyFe film is sputter-deposited on the upper side of the mirror with the condition as: Argas pressure below 1.

Protective effects of N-acetylcysteine and selenium against doxorubicin toxicity in rats.

To investigate the neutralizing effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and selenium (Se) against doxorubicin (DOX) toxicity in rats, NAC (140 mg/kg, p.o.) and Se (0.
