We present a search for stars exhibiting short time-scale optical light variations. Our search employs archival data taken by the ROTSE1 telephoto array in two eight degree fields-of-view. This is a test study considering two fields which overlaps fields previously mined for variables, but with different data and search techniques. Each field was observed for approximately six continuous hours....

To date, on-demand provisioning models of human-based services in the cloud are mainly used to deal with simple human tasks solvable by individual compute units (ICU). In this paper, we propose a framework allowing the provisioning of a group of people as an execution service unit, a so-called Social Compute Unit (SCU), by utilizing clouds of ICUs. Our model allows service consumers to specify ...

This paper investigates computationally-efficient methods for blind decision feedback equalization (DFE) that reduce the complexity and power requirements of blind equalization algorithms while maintaining their steady-state characteristics for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals. These include the power-of-two error (POT), selective coefficient update (SCU), and frequency-domain bloc...

The purpose of this research plan is analyzing the different types uncertainties and complexity in supply chain provide suggestion on strategies to deliver superior operational performance (OP) disruption dynamic situation using symmetrical asymmetrical modeling approaches. Symmetrical applied via PLS-SEM order assess theoretical relationships among latent variables, while fuzzy set qualitative...

This study discusses the experience of a vertical studio implemented at SCU Department Architecture. The goal such an experiment is to open channels interaction in and activate peer learning. studio, which was carried out within scope 2021-2022 academic year summer school, includes three different project groups from second, third fourth grades. Studio participants with individual experiences w...

In this paper, we propose an online clustering method called Contrastive Clustering (CC) which explicitly performs the instance- and cluster-level contrastive learning. To be specific, for a given dataset, positive negative instance pairs are constructed through data augmentations then projected into feature space. Therein, learning respectively conducted in row column space by maximizing simil...
