The way a person signs his or her name is known to be characteristic of that individual. Signatures are influenced by the physical and emotional conditions of a subject. A signature verification system must be able to detect forgeries, and, at the same time, reduce rejection of genuine signatures. Significant research has been conducted in feature extraction and selection for the application of...

A vector processing based framework suitable for cDNA microarray image segmentation is introduced and analyzed in this paper. By using nonlinear, generalized selection vector filters the framework proposed here classifies the cDNA image data as either microarray spots or image background. The solution converges to a root signal that represents the segmented cDNA microarray image with the regula...

Casting has various processes like Pre casting Processes, pattern making, core making, molding and mold assembly making, Casting Processes, furnace charging, melting, holding and pouring, and Post casting Processes, shakeout, inspection and dispatch etc. In India there are many foundry have followed conventional and manual operations. Today’s competitive environment has, lower manufacturing cos...

We propose an on-line algorithm for exact filtering of multiple changepoint problems. This algorithm enables simulation from the true joint posterior distribution of the number and position of the changepoints for a class of changepoint models. The computational cost of this exact algorithm is quadratic in the number of observations. We further show how resampling ideas from particle filters ca...

This work introduces a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) version of the continuous iterative guided spectral class rejection (CIGSCR) algorithm, a semiautomated classification algorithm for remote sensing (multispectral) images. The algorithm uses soft data clusters to produce a soft classification containing inherently more information than a comparable hard classification at an increased comput...

A highly efficient class E power amplifier is demonstrated for application to wireless power transfer system. The amplifier is designed with an L-type matching at the output for harmonic rejection and output matching. The power loss and the effect of each component in the amplifier with the matching circuit are analyzed with the current ratio transmitted to the output load. Inductors with a qua...

This paper discusses how Mark Blaug reversed his thinking about the historiography of economics, abandoning ‘rational’ for ‘historical’ reconstruction, and using an economics of scientific knowledge argument against Paul Samuelson and others that rational reconstructions of past ideas and theories in the “marketplace of ideas” were Pareto inefficient. Blaug’s positive argument for historical re...

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for using multiple speech recognizers in a multi-pass framework to improve the rejection performance of an automatic speech recognition system. A set of criteria is proposed, which determine at run time when rescoring using a second pass is expected to improve the rejection performance. The second pass result is used along with a set of fea...

Life is short and time for reading books on business ethics is scarce. Those readers who are interested in the argumentative foundations of business ethics, but do not want to struggle through several hundred pages, can find a compact presentation in Business Ethics and the Austrian Tradition in Economics, written by Hardy Bouillon. The book is composed of four chapters: 1. Ethical Preliminarie...
