Over the past several decades, subspace clustering has been receiving increasing interest and continuous progress. However, due to the lack of scalability and/or robustness, existing methods still have difficulty in dealing with the data that possesses simultaneously three characteristics: high-dimensional, massive and grossly corrupted. To tackle the scalability and robustness issues simultane...

The spatial layout of images plays a critical role in natural scene analysis. Despite previous work, e.g., spatial pyramid matching, how to design optimal spatial layout for scene classification remains an open problem due to the large variations of scene categories. This paper presents a novel image representation method, with the objective to characterize the image layout by various patterns,...

This work develops a method to compare the radiometric calibration between a radiometer and imagers hosted on aircraft and satellites. The radiometer is the airborne Research Scanning Polarimeter (RSP), which takes multi-angle, photo-polarimetric measurements in several spectral channels. The RSP measurements used in this work were coincident with measurements made by the Airborne Visible/Infra...

INTRODUCTION A computer model quantified glenoid base - plate surface contact area and the amount of humeral and glenoid bone removed by three different reverse shoulder prosthesis designs when implanted with various techniques. METHODS The computer model quantified differences in glenoid baseplate contact area and the cortical and cancellous humeral and glenoid bone removed to implant the 36...

The segregation distortion phenomenon occurs in Drosophila melanogaster males carrying an SD second chromosome and an SD+ homolog. In such males the SD chromosome is transmitted to the progeny more frequently than the expected 50% because of an abnormal differentiation of the SD+-bearing sperms. Three major loci are involved in this phenomenon: SD and Rsp, associated with the SD and SD+ chromos...

Signal processing is a data processing domain that contains a diversity of applications, including speech processing, image processing, radar, sonar, medical imaging, data communications, seismic processing, and many others. Despite the diversity of the applications, this processing domain has a very structured set of characteristics. These include real-time operation. dominance of arithmetic o...

The RDF Stream Processing (RSP) community has proposed several models and languages for continuously querying reasoning over streams the last decade. They each have their semantics, making them hard to compare. variety of approaches fostered both empirical theoretical research led design RSPQL, i.e., a unifying model RSP. However, an RSP API development under RSPQL semantics was still missing. ...

Relay deployments promise to alleviate the limitations of conventional macrocell networks, such as poor indoor penetration and coverage holes in a cost-efficient way. In this context, the capacity of the wireless relay link between a relay node (RN) and its serving base station (BS) has a crucial impact on the end-to-end performance. The deployment flexibility of RNs, which mainly stems from th...

The Segregation distorter (SO) phenomenon in Drosophila melanogaster is characterized by the preferential recovery of Distorter second chromosomes in the progeny of heterozygous males. In some crosses, virtually all of the offspring of such males will carry the SD chromosome (compared to the expected 50% based on Mendelian segregation), and it is now known that the aberrant segregation ratios a...
