Although the advantages of ground-source heat pumps over their conventional alternatives make these systems a very attractive choice for air conditioning, not only for residential buildings but increasingly also for institutional and commercial buildings, a significant barrier to wider application of this technology is a high first cost. When used in cooling-dominated buildings, ground-source h...

Source models for fricative consonants are derived based on aerodynamic principles of sound generation, in conjunction with vocal-tract models obtained from MRI data. Results indicate that a linear source-filter model is adequate for capturing essential spectral characteristics of sustained fricatives below 10 kHz. The hybrid source models employ a combination of acoustic monopole and dipole so...

The important part of the tsunami science is focused on studying the considerable influence of natural geographical objects, like islands and coast bathymetry, on the tsunami waves. Currently, such investigations are mostly implementing by physical modeling allowing obtaining good results on impacting submarine barriers on tsunami wave propagation but actually very expensive. We are designing a...

Free-space beam steering using optical phase arrays are desirable as a means of implementing Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and free-space communication links without the need for moving parts, thus alleviating vulnerabilities due to vibrations and inertial forces. Implementing such an approach in silicon photonic integrated circuits is particularly desirable in order to take advantage of ...

This paper proposes a novel algorithm based on minimizing mutual information for a special case of nonlinear blind source separation: postnonlinear blind source separation. A network composed of a set of radial basis function (RBF) networks, a set of multilayer perceptron and a linear network is used as a demixing system to separate sources in post-nonlinear mixtures. The experimental results s...

Many contemporary approaches for speeding up large file transfers attempt to download chunks of a data object from multiple sources. Systems such as BitTorrent quickly locate sources that have an exact copy of the desired object, but they are unable to use sources that serve similar but non-identical objects. Other systems automatically exploit cross-file similarity by identifying sources for e...

OpenMVL Project is considered by author as the starting point of discussion and the first executed step in the direction of the new standard for tools for modeling and simulation of complex dynamical systems (CDS). OpenMVLShell is the open source software for comparison different approaches to the problem of designing modern environments for CDS modeling and simulation first of all. However it ...

With the recent advent of effective and practical virtual machine introspection tools, we revisit the use of hybrid honeypots as a means to implement automated malware collection and analysis. We introduce VMIHoneymon, a high-interaction honeypot monitor which uses virtual machine memory introspection on Xen. VMI-Honeymon remains transparent to the monitored virtual machine and bypasses relianc...

Introduction This paper is derived from two sources. The first source is a framework used with colleagues in CSET [Centre for the Study of Education and Training] at the University of Lancaster, UK to undertake commissioned evaluations. The framework has been used but unacknowledged and this paper renders it’s shape explicitly for the first time. The second source is from ongoing research and d...

Assistant Professor Dept. of Information Technology GIMET, Amritsar ABSTRACT The aspiration of this study is to understand and analyze the concept of software Cloning and its detection. Software cloning is an acuity in which source code is duplicated. Software cloning and its detection is one of emerging and most dominant area of research in the field of software engineering. There exist number...
