NASA Tech Briefs, November 2010 yield this behavior. Previous work on mean-square error characterization for ML estimators has predominantly focused on additive Gaussian noise. This work demonstrates that the discrete nature of the Poisson noise process leads to a distinctly different error behavior. This work was done by Baris I. Erkmen and Bruce E. Moision of Caltech for NASA’s Jet Propulsion...

For many classical planning domains, the computational complexity of non-optimal and optimal planning is known. However, little is known about the area in between the two extremes of finding some plan and finding optimal plans. In this contribution, we provide a complete classification of the propositional domains from the first four International Planning Competitions with respect to the appro...

We give a proof of SAT’s NP-completeness based upon a syntaxic characterization of NP given by Fagin at 1974. Then, we illustrate a part of our proof by giving examples of how two well-known problems, MAX INDEPENDENT SET and 3COLORING, can be expressed in terms of CNF. Finally, in the same spirit we demonstrate the min NPO-completeness of MIN WSAT under strict reductions.

Currently, an estimated 50 million people in the European Union live with multiple chronic diseases (multimorbidity) and this number is expected to further increase in the near future. As multimorbidity deeply impacts on people’s quality of life -physically, but also mentally and socially-, there is a growing demand for multidisciplinary care that is tailored to the specific health and social n...

The salience of justice-involved military veterans endures as a pervasive social problem in the United States America (USA). Since 1980’s percentages Justice-Involved Veterans (JIV) have varied from reduction Vietnam to increasing numbers Global War on Terror (GWOT) (Bureau Justice Statistics Report, 2015). In response, there has been proliferation magistrate diversion, correctional specialty u...

Abstract Wintertime precipitation in China is most pronounced over the southeastern area, and Kuroshio East Sea anchors a prominent band warm side of sea surface temperature front. Previous studies have suggested that many factors contribute to interannual variation (SC), whereas less attention has been paid variability (ECSK) area. This study focuses on wintertime SC ECSK areas. Empirical orth...

Picocyanobacteria (Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus) play an important role in primary production biogeochemical cycles the subtropical tropical Pacific Ocean, but little biological information on them is currently available North Ocean (NPO). The present study aimed to determine picocyanobacterial contributions total regions NPO using a combination of dual stable isotope method metabolic inhi...
