The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by miconazole nitrate, an antifungal drug has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique, and weight loss methods. The experimental results suggested miconazole nitrate is a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid medium. The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The thermodynamic parameters were determined and discussed. The inhibition was assumed to occur via adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the surface of mild steel following Langmuir adsorption isotherm

Groupwise non-rigid registration for automatic construction of appearance models of the human craniofacial complex for analysis, synthesis and simulation

Finally, a novel application of 3D appearance modelling is proposed: a faster than real-time algorithm for statistically constrained quasi-mechanical simulation. Experiments demonstrate superior realism, achieved in the proposed method by employing statistical appearance models to drive the simulation, in comparison with the comparable state-of-the-art quasi-mechanical approaches.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
