Recently, a benchmarking test study of several hydraulic river models has been undertaken by the authors ^. One of the tests being investigated was the performance of hydraulic river models in using measured and interpolated crosssections for unsteady flows. Details of the interpolation algorithm for obtaining interpolated cross-sections are described in the paper. It is shown that the appropri...

In this work, we introduce the concept of hierarchical M n language model and we compare it to the based class multigram and interpolated class n-gram model. The originality of our approach is its capability to parse a string of class/tags into variable length dependent sequences. A few experimental tests were carried out on a class corpus extracted from the French “Le Monde” word corpus labele...

Auditory sequences of tones were used to examine a form of stimulus-driven attending that involves temporal expectancies and is influenced by stimulus rhythm. Three experiments examined the influence of sequence timing on comparative pitch judgments of two tones (standard, comparison) separated by interpolated pitches. In two of the experiments, interpolated tones were regularly timed, with ons...

background and aims. childhood obesity has been associated with high refined sugar intake. the relationship between sucrose intake and development of dental caries has been established. the aim of this study was to determine the association between age-specific body mass index (bmi-for-age) and dental caries in children. materials and methods. in this cross-sectional study a total of 1003 child...

The equations for the response terms for the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method interfaced with the density functional theory (DFT) gradient are derived and implemented. Compared to the previous FMO-DFT gradient, which lacks response terms, the FMO-DFT analytic gradient has improved accuracy for a variety of functionals, when compared to numerical gradients. The FMO-DFT gradient agrees wit...

In the current distributed video coding (DVC), a low resolution video sequence is generated with spatial and/or temporal downsampling at the encoder. At the decoder side, interpolation is performed and the interpolated pixels are further refined by using a error-correcting code such as Turbo codes or LDPC. In our previous work, we proposed a spatial domain DVC which uses a line-based downsampli...
