This report is concerned with the Adaptive Filtering and Web tracks. There are separate reports in this volume [1, 2] on the Microsoft Research Redmond participation in QA track and the Microsoft Research Beijing participation in the Web track.. Two runs were submitted for the Adaptive Filtering track, on the adaptive ltering task only (two optimisation measures), and several runs for the Web t...

Novel String Banana Template Method (SBTM) for track reconstruction in high multiplicity events in non-uniform magnetic field spectrometer with emphasis on the lowest momenta tracks with significant Multiple Scattering (MS) is described. Two steps model of track with additional parameter/s which takes into account MS for this particular track is introduced. SBTM is time efficient and demonstrat...

Algorithms for synchronous track-to-track fusion (T2TF) have been widely studied. For the optimal T2TF, it is critical to take into account the crosscovariances between tracks of the same target due to (i) the common process noise, and (ii) information feedback [2]. The optimal memoryless (without memory–“woM”) T2TF with no information feedback (T2TFwoMnf) was studied in [3], [11]. In [15], the...

The problem of track-to-track association (T2TA)– a prerequisite for the fusion of tracks–has been considered initially in the literature for tracks described by kinematic states [1]. More recently, it has been generalized to include additional (continuous valued) feature and (discrete valued) attribute variables which pertain to those tracks.1 These approaches allow the search for the maximum ...

BACKGROUND Implantation of testosterone pellets under the lateral abdominal wall skin is an old but popular and effective form of androgen replacement therapy. Extrusion of one or more pellets remains the most frequent adverse event. OBJECTIVE To determine whether an alternative implantation site (hip) and/or track geometry (two vs. four tracks) would reduce extrusion rates compared with the ...

In this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (Co and Fe) nano/ micro wires on Silicon substrate. Deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the Si substrate. Spin coated films were irradiated with 150MeV Ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8E7 ions/cm2, followed by UV irradiati...
