In this paper, we propose an outlier-robust regularized kernel-based method for linear system identification. The unknown impulse response is modeled as a zero-mean Gaussian process whose covariance (kernel) is given by the recently proposed stable spline kernel, which encodes information on regularity and exponential stability. To build robustness to outliers, we model the measurement noise as...

Modeling of erosion and deposition in complex terrain within a geographic information system (GIS) requires a high resolution digital elevation model (DEM), reliable estimation of topographic parameters, and formulation of erosion models adequate for digital representation of spatially distributed parameters. Regularized spline with tension was integrated within a GIS for computation of DEMs an...

The underlying neuronal substrates and behavioral properties that might mediate extinction of the classically conditioned eye-blink response (CR) were examined. Four groups of rabbits were trained to perform the CR. Two of the groups then received either three or six sessions of tone-alone extinction training while the motor nuclei that mediate expression of the CR (facial nucleus and accessory...

The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive account an exceptional case involving the presentation congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in newborn. Furthermore, it aims document successful regression CRS through medical treatment alone. We present five-day-old infant who was referred our facility as case. patient presented with bilateral white corneal opacity, which observed shortly a...

The standard treatment for advanced ovarian cancer consists in complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intravenous combination chemotherapy with a platinum compound and a taxane. Although response rates to initial therapy are high, many patients will recur and die of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The addition of Hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the standard therapy aims at inc...

Natural disasters can severely impact transportation networks. In the hours and days following a major flooding event, knowing the location and extent of the damage is crucial for incident managers for a number of reasons: it allows for emergency vehicle access to affected areas; it facilitates the efficient rerouting of traffic; it raises the quality and reduces the cost of repairs; and it all...

The fundamental goal of this paper aims to bridge the large gap between the shape versatility of arbitrary topology and the geometric modeling limitation of conventional tensor-product splines for solid representations. Its contribution lies at a novel shape modeling methodology based on tensorproduct trivariate splines for solids with arbitrary topology. Our framework advocates a divide-andcon...

In the recent years, heterogeneous network (HetNet) is used to improve the spectral efficiency and network capacity of Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A). Although, it has huge traffic congestion due to numerous numbers of mobile users and data terminals, leads to problems of cooperation between Macro-cell and Pico-cells. One of the major interference sources in LTE-A is Common Reference Sign...
