Graphical mass factorization

A Graphical Framework for Supporting Mass Customization

Many companies deploying mass customization strategies adopt product configuration systems to support their activities. While such systems focus mainly on configuration process support, mass customization needs to cover the management of the whole customizable product cycle. In this paper, we describe a graphical modeling framework that allows one to model both a product and its production proc...

Factorization Approach for Top Mass Reconstruction at High Energies

Using effective theories for jets and heavy quarks it is possible to prove that the double differential top-antitop invariant mass distribution for the process ee → tt̄ in the resonance region for c.m. energies Q much larger than the top mass can factorized into perturbatively computable hard coefficients and jet functions and a non-perturbative soft function. For invariant mass prescriptions ba...

Spatial operator factorization and inversion of the manipulator mass matrix

’bo new recursive factorizations are developed of the mass matrix for fixed-base and mobile-base manipulators. First, the mass matrix M is shown to have the factorization M = H$M$* H’. This is referred to here as the Newton-Euler factorization because it is closely related to the recursive Newton-Euler equations of motion. This factorization may be the simplest way to show the equivalence of re...

Invited Talk: Analyzing Tandem Mass Spectra: A Graphical Models Perspective

In the past two decades, the field of proteomics has seen explosive growth, largely due to the development of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). With a complex biological sample as input, a typical MS/MS experiment quickly produces a large (often numbering in the hundreds-of-thousands) collection of spectra representative of the proteins present in the original complex sample. A majority of wide...
