Previous efforts to develop simulation and/or measurement-based channel propagation models for the effect of human blockage on millimeter-wave communication systems have yielded important results, but lack either accuracy, generality, or simplicity. To fill that void, in this paper we propose a hybrid geometrical-empirical model presence; refer it as presence because reflection from body before...

This paper describes a Bayesian approach to model selection and state estimation for sensor-based robot tasks. The approach is illustrated with a hybrid model-state estimation example from force-controlled autonomous compliant motion: simultaneous (discrete) Contact Formation recognition and estimation of (continuous) geometrical parameters. Previous research in this area mostly tries to solve ...

Hadronic interactions are successfully parameterized in different models. Those most frequently applied are the Regge parameterization and the geometrical model. In the present paper we want to apply the geometrical picture to different domains of the hadronic interaction. The model used is a very economical model in that it contains only few parameters most of which have a direct physical inte...
