Satellite remote sensing plays an important role in wildfire detection. Methods using the brightness and temperature difference of images to determine if a has occurred are one main research directions forest fire monitoring. However, common detection algorithms mainly based on fixed threshold distinguish pixels non-wildfire pixels, which reduces applicability algorithm different space–time reg...

We propose dynamic resistive threshold-logic (DRTL) design based on non-volatile resistive memory. A threshold logic gate (TLG) performs summation of multiple inputs multiplied by a fixed set of weights and compares the sum with a threshold. DRTL employs resistive memory elements to implement the weights and the thresholds, while a compact dynamic CMOS latch is used for the comparison operation...

We discuss dynamic factor modeling of financial time series using a latent threshold approach to factor volatility. This approach models time-varying patterns of occurrence of zero elements in factor loadings matrices, providing adaptation to changing relationships over time and dynamic model selection. We summarize Bayesian methods for model fitting and discuss analyses of several FX, commodit...

In this paper, a new numerical method for solving fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) is presented. The fractional derivative in the dynamic system is described in the Caputo sense. The method is based upon biorthogonal cubic Hermite spline multiwavelets approximations. The properties of biorthogonal multiwavelets are first given. The operational matrix of fractional Riemann-Lioville in...

In Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), interconnect design has become a supreme issue in high speed ICs. With the decreased feature size of CMOS circuits, on-chip interconnect now dominates both circuit delay and power consumption. An eminent technique known as repeater/buffer insertion is used in long interconnections to reduce delay in VLSI circuits. This paper deals with some distinct low p...
