Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAnalysis of the Chord Length Distribution Along an Edge: The Wedge Case and the Quadratic Rod CaseWilfried GilleThe analytic expression is given for the chord length distribution density f(l,b) along the edge of an infinitely long rectangular wedge and for a quadratic rod, both of constant breadth b. The general result is: A constant behaviour for 0 < l < b and a finite jump of size 2/b at l = b is an intrinsic feature of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,208 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleChord Length Distributions of the HemisphereWilfried GilleThe distribution laws for two types of isotropic uniform random chords of the hemisphere, cap-chords and basic-chords, are investigated separately. From both distribution densities, the chord length distribution density of the whole hemisphere is derived. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,361 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsConceptual Design, Analysis and Construction of a Fixed-Wing Unmanned Arial Vehicle for Oil and Gas Pipeline SurveillanceAliyu Bhar Kisabo, Charles Attah Osheku, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelOil and Gas Pipelines consists of pipes, compressors and pumps. These are frequently located in environments that are difficult to monitor and secure (e.g., creeks and remote areas). Attacks or damage to such installations can lead to enormous ecological impact and loss of revenue. Developing and implementing monitoring systems that can continuously assess the state and condition of oil and … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2017 · 10,532 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeveloping a Computer Program for the Methods of Radius-Estimating Techniques for Horizontal CurvesAsma Th. Ibraheem, Fatin JananProblem statement: This study discusses the development of computer software of two phases. First phase contains the calculations of all curve elements of the four types of the horizontal curve and second phase contains the modeling of the ten methods of estimating the radius of the horizontal curve. Approach: The program is named as HCRET, which stands for Horizontal Curves … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,028 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHemisphere Sizing from Linear Intercept MeasurementWilfried GilleThe stereological problem of unfolding the hemisphere radius distribution from the chord length distribution is analyzed. Let a stationary isotropic process of hemispheres be given. The hemispheres have random diameters and are isotropically uniformly randomly orientated in space. A straight line probe yields a process of intercepts. The inverse problem of re-obtaining the size distribution of the hemispheres in terms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,146 accessesView PDF Cite
