ScanSAR is a type of SAR imaging technology, in which SAR switches its antenna look angle cyclically to cover several subswaths and therefore to achieve a very wide coverage. Compared with the conventional stripmap mode, ScanSAR has lots of advantages due to its wide swath coverage and moderate resolution. The disastrous Wenchuan earthquake happened on May 12, 2008 caused large scale land defor...

This study integrates research on strategic alliances and security analysts by focusing on the extent to which alliance announcements affect the amount of coverage firms obtain from security analysts. Adopting the perspective that alliance announcements constitute important market signals, I argue that they increase analyst coverage at a decreasing rate, but also that the strength of the relati...

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems are characterised by particular features such as functional coverage, interdependent relationships, single database and standard management and processing rules; all of which are capable of bringing about various degrees of change within the company and, potentially, encourage a more cross-functional overview of it. However, few quantitative studies ha...

This paper proposes a method to deal with holes healing problems in wireless hybrid sensor networks. With recent advances in mobile platforms, hybrid sensor networks including static and mobile sensors are becoming very popular technology. In this paper, we investigate the coverage hole healing efficiency and propose a method to improve the efficiency. Specifically, mobile sensors can dynamical...

This paper considers the problem of improving the monitoring capability (area coverage) of a sensor network using stationary and non-stationary sensor nodes. Monitoring a large area, for example in applications like environmental monitoring, requires a large number of sensor nodes which with current technology implies a prohibitive cost. The motivation of this work is to investigate the coverag...

At the core of interpretable machine learning is the question of whether humans are able to make accurate predictions about a model’s behavior. Assumed in this question are three properties of the interpretable output: coverage, precision, and effort. Coverage refers to how often humans think they can predict the model’s behavior, precision to how accurate humans are in those predictions, and e...

If there are many independent, identically distributed observations governed by a smooth, finite-dimensional statistical model, the Bayes estimate and the maximum likelihood estimate will be close. Furthermore, the posterior distribution of the parameter vector around the posterior mean will be close to the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate around truth. Thus, Bayesian confidence ...

Determining and understanding contributions to a shared code base can be helpful for monitoring developer efficiency, allocating work items and understanding how and why changes were made. To support this task, we introduce a method for deriving contribution using test execution results and code coverage reports. Our visualization tool, Teamline, then presents these metrics in two different vie...

Although there are quite a few approaches to Coverage Directed test Generation aided by Machine Learning which have been applied successfully to small and medium size digital designs, it is not clear how they would scale on more elaborate industrial-level designs. This paper evaluates one of these techniques, called MicroGP, on a fully fledged industrial design. The results indicate relative su...
