    A Spline interpolation degree question

    Hi, I working on code that does image tracking with missing pixels, but I noticed that higher ordered spline interpolation is unstable. Found through trial and error that the best result is degree 3, picture related. I always thought that spline interpolation does not display behaviours shown...

    Acoustic impedance in Materials

    Acoustic impedance of material is defined by density multiply by the velocity of waves within the base material. My question is if i have a tubular or hollow part with a base material, does this count as a reduction of density compared to the base material of the tube or hollow part. Would the...

    What Are the Potential Dangers of Nuclear Melt and Its After Effects?

    Are there any other measurable danger other than the following Short term (short half life) I -131 Do not react with air Forms aqueous solution with water Long term (long half life) Cs -137 Forms cesium oxide with air, can be carried away by air Forms aqueous solution with...

    Why is there a flux depression in CANDU fuel and how is it addressed in design?

    let say there is an bundle of fuel with 4 rings. Where ring 1 is center most ring and ring 4 is outer most ring. 1st ring contains: 1 fuel element 2nd ring contains : 6 fuel elements 3rd ring contains: 12 fuel element 4th ring contains : 18 fuel elements The general distribution of...

    Why Do Thermal Neutrons Use v = sqrt(2kT/m) Instead of v = sqrt(3kT/m)?

    The most probable velocity of thermal neutrons can than be approximated by the Boltzmann constant and is given by the following: v = sqrt (2kT/m) where k is the Boltzmann constant T is the temperature m is the mass of the neutrons My question is why is the above equation not the...

    Flux in Moderator vs Flux in fuel

    I was reading about different flux shapes, and it depicted the the shape of the fission neutron spectrum to be in the shape of y=e^-x*sinh(sqrt(x)), where y is the spectrum and x is the energy in MeV. note: put that equation into wolfram for easy visualization Then it depicted the slowing down...

    How Does Sinc Convolution Prepare an Image for Nearest Neighbor Downscaling?

    Let say we have NxM pixels and we need to cut it down to 2/3*(NxM) The correct method to achieve this is to convolute the original image with sinc(k)sinc(l), then used the nearest neighbor technique to on the convoluted image. Where k and l is matched to the frequency content of the lower...

    Solving second-order ODE with Runge-Kutta 4

    This is aimed towards SteamKing, K1 is found with dy/dt=0, but how is K2 solved when f(0.05,1) is undefined by the question and there is no obvious way to determine the f(0.05,1). Thanks
