Reduced basis (RB) methods are an effective approach for model reduction of parametrized partial differential equations. In the field of dynamical systems’ order reduction, these methods are not very established, but the interest in reduction of parametrized systems is increasing. In the current presentation, we show that some characteristic components of RB-methods can be transfered to model r...

The crucial role of datasets in signature verification systems has motivated researchers to collect signature samples. However, with regard to the distinct characteristics of Persian signature, existing offline signature datasets cannot be used in Persian systems. This paper presents a new and public Persian offline signature dataset, UTSig, which consists of 8280 images from 115 classes that e...

Click tracking is gaining in popularity and the practice of web analytics is growing fast. Can operations managers benefit from click tracking? Tingliang Huang and Jan Van Mieghem consider firms that feature their products on the Internet but take orders offline. Click and order data are disjoint on such non-transactional websites and their matching is error-prone. Yet, their time separation ma...

The final phase of powder production typically involves a mixing process where all of the particles are combined and agglomerated with a binder to form a single compound. The traditional means of inspecting the physical properties of the final product involves an inspection of the particle sizes using an offline sieving and weighing process. The main downside of this technique, in addition to b...

Positional accuracy of the machine tool is affected by the instabilities caused by the thermal gradients produced from the internal and external heat sources. Thermal gradients cause linear and non linear thermal expansions of the complex machine parts which result in the generation of the positional error between the tool and the work piece affecting the machining accuracy. Thermal gradients d...

INTRODUCTION There is evidence for beneficial effects of acute and long-term exercise interventions on several forms of memory, including procedural motor learning. In the present study we examined how performing a single bout of continuous moderate intensity aerobic exercise would impact motor skill acquisition and retention in young healthy adults, compared to a period of rest. We hypothesize...

This paper describes a case study with a patient in the classic locked-in state, who currently has no means of independent communication. Following a user-centered approach, we investigated event-related potentials (ERP) elicited in different modalities for use in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Such systems could provide her with an alternative communication channel. To investigate the...

This paper proposes a new method for online secondary path modeling in feedback active noise control (ANC) systems. In practical cases, the secondary path is usually time-varying. For these cases, online modeling of secondary path is required to ensure convergence of the system. In literature the secondary path estimation is usually performed offline, prior to online modeling, where in the prop...

Despite the growing growth of technology, handwritten signature has been selected as the first option between biometrics by users. In this paper, a new methodology for offline handwritten signature verification and recognition based on the Shearlet transform and transfer learning is proposed. Since, a large percentage of handwritten signatures are composed of curves and the performance of a sig...
