Study on the Sintering Behavior of Spinel-Al Composite: Preparation and Microstructure [ ]


Al-Spinel composites are of interest in many industrial and electronic fields. So in this research, Al-spinel specimens were prepared by powder technology technique, by mixing Al (matrix material) with different weight percentage of spinel (reinforced material). The prepared composites were characterized through x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of spinel content on the phase compositions, density, water absorption, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity was investigated. The result showed that the amount of spinel added to Al matrix material affected the sintering parameters, thus effecting the density, strength, thermal conductivity and microstructure of the composites. With an increase in spinel content, sintered density decreased, water absorption increase. The strength and thermal conductivity decreased. The optimized product is composite specimen with 2 wt.% spinel content which has a high sintered density (2.31, 2.32, 2.33, 2.34, 2.35 g\cm3), high strength (17 N/ mm2), high thermal conductivity (1.25 w/m.c), and low water absorption (2.69, 2.6, 2.4, 2.27, 2.16%).

A new method based on evidence theory and fuzzy clustering for the breast cancer cells images segmentation[ ]


In this paper, a new method is proposed to segment the cells images especially when only one breast cancer cells image is available for each patient. The method is approached by fusing the information of pixels coming from the original image and different information pixels associated to the same original image represented in another space colors with Dempster–Shafer (DS) theory. The estimation of the mass functions of each single hypothesis is obtained from the membership function of applying fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering to the gray levels coming from the images to be combined. Then, multiple hypotheses are generated according to the single hypothesis. The classification accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated and a comparative study versus existing techniques is presented. The experimental results on medical and synthetic color images demonstrate the value of introducing fuzzy clustering in the data fusion theory for image segmentation.
