the pupose of this paper is modeling of partial digest problem (pdp) as a mathematical programming problem. in this paper we present a new viewpoint of pdp. we formulate the pdp as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. this later model can be solved by the simp...

Multi-modal registration is still a big challenge in image processing. In this article we present a variation of the wellknown fast Fourier transform (fft) accelerated methods for finding the alignment between two datasets, i.e. the rigid transformation consisting of a rotation as well as a translation mapping all regions in both datasets belonging together in an optimal manner. Our method can ...

Pose estimation using analysis-by-synthesis techniques has been a topic within computer vision for quite a time. These techniques often make use of numerical optimization algorithms required to work in high dimensional work spaces. In this article we apply two algorithms which to the best of our knowledge have never been used in this context. The first algorithm is based on a generalisation of ...

We deal with the optimization of process parameters in industrial continuous casting of steel. The process requires fine-tuning of numerous parameters with respect to the metallurgical cooling criteria to achieve the highest possible quality of the cast steel. We tackle the problem with various optimization methods: local optimization, conjugate gradient, downhill simplex and several types of e...

The purposes of this study were 1) to confirm whether there is a difference in the levels of blood lactate and ammonia after supramaximal uphill and downhill running for the same short duration and 2) to examine the relationship between peak blood lactate levels and work/lean body mass (LBM), as well as the relationship between peak blood ammonia levels and work/LBM following supramaximal uphil...

Repeater insertion can be used to overcome the quadratic increase in the time required for a signal to propagate through an interconnect. A new timing model, based on short-channel equations, has been developed to characterize the signal delay through a resistive line. These analytical expressions provide the foundation for algorithms used to insert uniform repeaters into tree structures. Both ...
