Ž . The new transferable atom equivalent TAE method for rapid molecular electron density reconstruction was used to compute a set of molecular surface property descriptors. These descriptors were then used to construct HPLC column capacity factor PLS models for a series of high-energy materials. The new TAE-derived surface property indices are also available from ab initio or semiempirical wave...

Clustering categorical sequences is currently a difficult problem due to the lack of an efficient representation model for sequences. Unlike the existing models, which mainly focus on the fixed-length tuples representation, in this paper, a new representation model on the variablelength tuples is proposed. The variable-length tuples are obtained using a pruning method applied to delete the redu...

Mobile wireless video delivery is still challenging due to its limited bandwidth and dynamic channel status. In this paper, a novel approach named Dubbing Video Slides (DVS) is proposed to cope with the bandwidth limitation problem. Based on a statistical video content importance analysis, DVS method can dynamically select and transmit representative video frames which are relatively more impor...
