A novel scalar ground motion intensity measure (IM), termed the energy-frequency parameter, is proposed based on Hilbert-Huang transform. To validate effectiveness of IM, correlation analysis between engineering demand parameter (EDP) and performed using 1992 recorded motions, in which EDP maximum inter-storey drift structures obtained by nonlinear time-history analysis. Results show that has a...

To resolve the difficulty of parameter estimation of Storm rainfall intensity formulation, a new multicellular GEP parameter estimation algorithm, named MC_GEP_MPO, with a novel individual coding scheme based on Gene Expression Programming algorithm is proposed in this paper. MC_GEP_MPO is used for solving the parameter estimation problem of the single return period of rainfall intensity foreca...

Fundamental frequency of vocal fold vibration (F0) and acoustic intensity are correlated for physiological and linguistic reasons. Previous studies have established that aerodynamic factors and vocal fold control mechanisms are partly responsible for the correlation. Intonational accents are also a source of co-variation of F0 and intensity. This paper addresses the question of whether these ph...

Accurate co-registration of multi-sensor data is a primary step in data integration for photogrammetric and remote sensing applications. A proven intensity-based registration approach is Mutual Information (MI). However the effectiveness of MI for automated registration of multi-sensor remote sensing data can be impacted to the point of failure by its non-monotonic convergence surface. Since MI...
