A combined statistical analysis of the experimental results of the LSND and KARMEN ν̄μ→ ν̄e oscillation search is presented. LSND has evidence for neutrino oscillations that is not confirmed by the KARMEN experiment. However, there is a region in the (sin(2Θ),∆m2) parameter space where the results of both experiments are statistically compatible. This joint analysis is based on likelihood functio...

Discusses a new trend among Japan’s giant electronics and telecommunications companies and ministries: a concerted effort to develop a multimedia society like the one growing in the U.S. Describes efforts by Japanese computer and electronics conglomerates to promote multimedia by creating multimedia divisions, acquiring new media technology through joint ventures, and shifting from hardware to ...

We present an algorithm for creating a neural network which produces accurate probability estimates as outputs. The network implements a Gibbs probability distribution model of the training database. This model is created by a new transformation relating the joint probabilities of attributes in the database to the weights (Gibbs potentials) of the distributed network model. The theory of this t...

This paper deals with a joint use of a trust evaluation approach and access control mechanisms for improving security in Web-usage. Trust evaluation is achieved by means of both behavioral evaluation and credentials exchange, in such way that transitions among different access policies are automatically fired whenever a user behavior is validated. Behavioral analysis uses machine-learning techn...

This paper considers the creation and consumption of content on user generated content (UGC) platforms, e.g., reviews, articles, chat, videos, etc. On these platforms, users’ expectations regarding the participation of others on the site become germane to their own involvement levels. Accordingly, we develop a dynamic rational expectations equilibrium model of joint consumption and generation o...

While the choice of a set of primitives can strongly e ect the performance of genetic programming, the design of such a set remains more of an art than a science. We look at a joint approach that combines both hand-coding and genetic programming to dene and re ne primitives in the context of a creating distribute control code for modular robots. We give some rules of thumb for designing and re ...

Multi-aperture systems allow a natural method of implementing phase diversity for the joint estimation of both pupil aberrations and an image of the object. Instead of creating diversity images by means of focus adjustments, one can actuate the individual sub-apertures of the system (e.g., with a piston phase) to introduce known phase diversity. Implementation of a nonlinear optimization routin...

This paper considers the creation and consumption of content on user generated content platforms, e.g., reviews, articles, chat, videos, etc. On these platforms, users’ expectations regarding the amount and timing of participation by others becomes germane to their own involvement levels. Accordingly, we develop a dynamic rational expectations equilibrium model of joint consumption and generati...

Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is a complex joining process where multiple layers of material are joined by creating mechanical interlock via the simultaneous deformation inserted rivet and surrounding material. Due to large number variables which influence resulting joint, finding optimum parameters has traditionally posed challenge in design process. Furthermore, there gap knowledge regarding how...

introduction osteochondritis is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint destroys due to lack of blood flow. then bone and cartilage can break, causing pain and sometimes affecting joint motion and skin around the involved joint might be swollen and tender. osteochondritis occurs most commonly in the knee, but also occurs in elbows, ankles and other joints. decreased ...
