The Generic Frame Protocol (GFP) is an application program interface for accessing knowledge bases stored in frame knowledge representation systems (FRSs). GFP provides a uniform model of FRSs based on a common conceptualization of frames, slots, facets, and inheritance. GFP consists of a set of Common Lisp functions that provide a generic interface to underlying FRSs. This interface isolates a...

Most feature extraction techniques involve in their primary stage a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of consecutive, short, overlapping windows. The spectral resolution of the DFT representation is uniform and is given by Δf=2π/Ν where N is the length of the window The present paper investigates the use of non-uniform rate frequency sampling, varying as a function of the spectral characteristic...

A tuned mass rocking wall (TMRW)-frame structure system is proposed to improve the energy dissipation ability of traditional wall-frame system. Based on principle damper (TMD), a TMRW designed with proper and stiffness according dynamic characteristic host structure. Firstly, considering presence inherent structural damping, amplification factor main was derived from equations mechanism. practi...

Background: Recombination Activating Genes (RAG) mutated embryonic stem cells are (ES) cells which are unable to perform V (D) J recombination. These cells can be used for generation of immunodeficient mouse. Creating biallelic mutations by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has emerged as a powerful technique to generate site-specific mutations in different sequences. Ob...

This paper presents a novel method for real-time homogenous translucent material editing under fixed illumination. We consider the complete analytic BSSRDF model proposed by Jensen et al. [JMLH01], including both multiple scattering and single scattering. Our method allows the user to adjust the analytic parameters of BSSRDF and provides high-quality, real-time rendering feedback. Inspired by r...

We show that all sets complete for NC1 under AC0 reductions are isomorphic under AC0computable isomorphisms. Although our proof does not generalize directly to other complexity classes, we do show that, for all complexity classes C closed under NC1-computable many-one reductions, the sets complete for C under NC0 reductions are all isomorphic under AC0-computable isomorphisms. Our result showin...

Object detection plays an important role in successfulness of a wide range of applications that involve images as input data. In this paper we have presented a new approach for background modeling by nonconsecutive frames differencing. Direction and velocity of moving objects have been extracted in order to get an appropriate sequence of frames to perform frame subtraction. Stationary parts of ...
