Detecting significant overdensity or underdensity clusters in spatio-temporal data is critical for many real-world applications. Most existing approaches are designed to deal with regularly shaped clusters such as circular, elliptic and rectangular ones, but cannot work well on irregularly shaped clusters. In this paper, we propose GridScan, a grid-based approach for detecting irregularly shape...

For scientific reasons, it must be possible to offset the MMA antenna pointing by 1.5 degrees within 1.5 seconds. To study the feasibility of this, a simple, lumped model of the antennas is set up and cascade controllers for velocity and position loops are added. It is found that the bandwidth of the position loop must be 3-4 Hz to achieve this. To avoid structural oscillations (“ringing”) afte...

In this paper, we first show that the logistic testing-effort function is practically acceptable/helpful for modeling software reliability growth and providing a reasonable description of resource consumption. Therefore, in addition to the exponential-shaped models, we will integrate the logistic testing-effort function into S-shaped model for further analysis. The model is designated as the Ya...

A computational efficient approach to identify very small mine-shaped plactic objects, e.g. M56 AntiPersonnel (AP) mines buried in the ground, is presented. The size of the objects equals the smallest AP-mines in use today, i.e., the most difficult mines to detect with respect to humanitarian mine clearance. Our approach consists of three stages, the phase stepped-fiequency radar method, genera...

Wedge shaped defects of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) may occur in glaucoma. Currently, automatic detection of wedge shaped defects in Scanning Laser Polarimetry images of the retinal nerve fiber layer is unavailable; an automatic classification is currently based only on global parameters, thereby ignoring important local information. Our method works by a modified dynamic programming t...

Chiral smectic liquid crystal cells showing V-shaped electrooptical switching have been reported as one of the most promising technologies for high-end display applications. In this work, time-resolved electrical behaviour of these devices has been obtained through a set of systematic measurements. The electrical equivalent circuit has been derived, a number of simulations at different frequenc...

Pumped storage stations undergo numerous transition processes, which make the pump turbines go through the unstable S-shaped region. The hydraulic transient in S-shaped region has normally been investigated through numerical simulations, while field experiments generally involve high risks and are difficult to perform. In this research, a pumped storage model composed of a piping system, two mo...

We define a set of operators which localize in both time and frequency. Tltese operators are similar to but different from the low-pass time-liting operators, the singular functions of which are the prolate spheroidal wave functions. Our construction differs from the usual ap proach in that we treat the time-frequency plane as one geometric whole (phase space) rather than as two separate spaces...

In this article, we have shown, for the add-point monad T, thepartial morphism category Set*is isomorphic to the Kleisli category SetT. Alsowe have proved that the category, SetT, of T-algebras is isomorphic to thecategory Set of pointed sets. Finally we have established commutative squaresinvolving these categories.
