Image Scale-Space Filtering Using Directional Local Variance Controlled Anisotropic Diffusion by Yong Chen, Taoshun He

“…The purpose of this paper is to develop an effective edge indicator and propose an image scale-space filter based on anisotropic diffusion equation for image denoising. We first develop an effective edge indicator named directional local variance (DLV) for detecting image features, which is anisotropic and robust and able to indicate the orientations of image features. …”

A Method to Predict Rock Fracture with Infrared Thermography Based on Heat Diffusion Analysis by Nai-Fu Deng, Lan Qiao, Qing-wen Li, Jia-Wang Hao, Shan Wu

“…This paper proposes the “pseudothermography” under the true triaxial compressive test by combining the infrared radiation data and the heat diffusion theory. Our method evenly selects 25 small regions on the observed rock surface and uses the data obtained from these regions to derive the global temperature field which contains no uncertainty. …”

Hydroisomerization of n-dodecane on ZSM-48 with acid distribution modulation for high diffusion performance by Wei Zhang, Jiangnan Xiang, Yuting Wang, Mengxi Ma, Yan Wang, Bo Qin, Weijiong Dai, Binbin Fan, Jiajun Zheng, Ruifeng Li

“…Shortening the distribution depth of acid sites in the micropores does not significantly change the product distribution of n-dodecane monomethyl isomers but markedly suppresses the cracking reaction due to reduced diffusion limitation of olefinic intermediates. This enables efficient and selective hydroisomerization of long-chain n-alkanes.…”
