and the assumptions are that the e, are independently normally distribtited with mean zero and (common) variance a^, e,~NID (0,(7̂ ). Focusing first on the structure of the model itself (Fig. 1), to test H:)8=0, is to test no change versus linear change and thus, according to the model, to reject H is to conclude that linear change has occurred, i.e., progressive change at a constant rate. To th...

We present Stellar Locus Regression (SLR), a method of directly adjusting the instrumental broadband optical colors of stars to bring them into accord with a universal stellar color-color locus, producing accurately calibrated colors for both stars and galaxies. This is achieved without first establishing individual zeropoints for each passband, and can be performed in real-time at the telescop...

Authorship attribution has a long history started since 19th century. Existing studies have used different sets of stylometric features and computational methodologies on a variety of corpus with different lengths and genres. This study presents a protocol to perform a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify the best combination of stylometric features and computational methodology. Spec...

Context– Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology through which the view of real world environment is augmented by computer generated elements/objects. Tracking and registration are the key challenges in AR system. Objective– This research paper aims to perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) for the identification of challenges during tracking an object in augmented reality environment and ...

The WHO is committed to eliminating trachoma as a public health concern by 2020. Since decisions for mass treatment are determined by the prevalence of clinical trachoma in a community, efficient and accurate methods for monitoring clinical activity remain a priority. However, reliability of clinical examination is poor and disagreement between graders is common. Photography of the conjunctiva ...

This thesis considers scheduling in the context of a grid computing system used in engineering design. Users desire responsiveness and fairness in the treatment of the workflows they submit. Submissions outstrip the available computing capacity during the work day, and the queue is only caught up on overnight and at weekends. The execution times observed span a wide range of 100 to 107 core-min...

background: ninety percent of all people sometimes during their lives experience low back pain, and 30-40% develops radicular leg pain with the sciatica characteristics. although for clinical diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (ldh) straight leg raising (slr) test in 85-90% of cases indicates ldh, but in our practice with ldh patients this test is frequently negative despite radicular leg pain...
