Non-negativity matrix factorization (NMF) and its variants have been explored in the last decade and are still attractive due to its ability of extracting non-negative basis images. However, most existing NMF based methods are not ready for encoding higher-order data information. One reason is that they do not directly/explicitly model structured data information during learning, and therefore ...

the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae), is an economically important pest of ornamental plant in iran. the population abundance and spatial distribution were studied on five rosa cultivars including maroussia, wendela, elderado, wenedetta, and hot lady during two growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 in greenhouse. the k parameter, index of dispersion, lloyd’s m...

In this work, space-time processing for co-channel interference (CCI) reduction and intersymbol interference (ISI) equalization with antenna arrays is studied. As compared to spatial-only processing, the space-time processing proposed takes the temporal correlation of the CCI into account by modeling the noise and CCI as a Gaussian vector valued autoregressive process. This is a good approximat...

We have used a commercially available liquid-crystal spatial light modulator within a reflective optics pulse-shaping apparatus to shape ultrashort pulses with temporal resolution approaching 10 fs. Using the spatial light modulator as a phase modulator, we produce a variety of complex ultrafast waveforms, including odd pulses, high repetition rate (.23 THz) pulse trains, and asymmetric pulse t...

determining the promising area for ore deposits is one of the most important steps of prospecting in regional scales. there are many different methods for identifying these areas including geochemical and geophysical methods, remote sensing and sophisticated statistical methods. based on the theory of spatial relations between the dispersion pattern of ore deposits and metallogenic provinces, m...
