A model for identifying similar time series has been developed. Two time series are considered similar if they have enough non overlapping time ordered subsequences that are similar. The two subsequences are considered to be similar if one is enclosed within an envelope of a user defined width around another. Amplitude of one of the two sequences is scaled by a suitable amount to make the match...

Our everyday visual experience frequently involves searching for objects in clutter. Why are some searches easy and others hard? It is generally believed that the time taken to find a target increases as it becomes similar to its surrounding distractors. Here, I show that while this is qualitatively true, the exact relationship is in fact not linear. In a simple search experiment, when subjects...

Various astronomical observations point towards the evidence for dark energy. One of the most mysterious problem is the coincidence problem: why dark energy becomes dominant only recently. We present a scenario based on extended quintessence models to explain the late-time domination of dark energy without severe fine-tuning of initial conditions and model parameters. PACS numbers: 98.80.Es; 98...

In 2013 Ayman A. Hazaymeh in his PhD thesis introduced the concept of timefuzzy soft set as a generalization of fuzzy soft set. In this paper and as a generalization of neutrosophic soft set we introduce the concept of time-neutrosophic soft set and study some of its properties. We also, define its basic operations, complement, union intersection, ”AND” and ”OR” and study their properties. Also...

Psychiatry has always both interested and frightened the general public in equal measure. Forensic psychiatry, when it deals with high-profile criminal cases, is even more within the public domain. Hence, public reaction, as expressed through the media and by politicians, can be intense. This dynamic relationship between the profession and the public is accepted and understood in one direction—...

Bioimpedance, themeasurement of the frequency-dependent resistance to the flow of low energy electrical currents between two electrodes on or within the body, has been investigated for various medical applications for over 50 years. Applications in cardiology date back to at least 1966 and have included attempts to estimate stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac contractility and lung fluid vol...

We consider the impact of taxes on the quantity and quality produced of goods, such as wine, for which market value accrues with age. Any pair of taxes that includes a volumetric sales tax and any one of three other types of tax – an ad valorem sales tax, an ad valorem storage tax, or a volumetric storage tax – spans the quality/revenue space and can support an optimal tax system. Provided soci...

Combined research in the fields of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), transportation modelling and traffic systems has in fact finally reached the point where paths should overlap and continue in better unison between these different domains. This paper introduces methodological and experimental results of several integrated projects that include traffic monitoring systems, GIS and several...
