The bootstrap equations for the ADE series of purely elastic scattering theories have turned out to be intimately connected with the geometry of root systems and the Coxeter element. An informal review of some of this material is given, mentioning also a couple of other contexts – the Pasquier models, and the simply-laced affine Toda field theories – where similar structures are encountered. Th...

Principal Component Analysis of high dimensional data often runs into time and memory limitations. This is especially the case if the dimension and the number of data set elements is of about the same size. We propose a new method to calculate Principal Components based on Compressive Sensing. Compressive Sensing can be interpreted as a new method for data compression with a number of positive ...

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown origin, in which non-caseating granulomas (small inflammatory nodules) are found in the affected organs. Cutaneous involvement occurs in 25% of cases with a wide range of clinical presentation. The onset of scars is unusual although clinically characteristic of cutaneous sarcoidosis. Most patients with scar sarcoidosis have a systemic d...

For any field K, we determine the quasi-simple subgroups G of the Chevalley group F4ðKÞ which are generated by a class S of so-called abstract transvection subgroups of G such that any member of S is contained in a long root subgroup of F4ðKÞ. First, we construct a polar space with point set S, which is embedded in the F4-geometry. This yields that a conjugate of G is contained in a classical s...

The tutorial is primarily based on our publication [11] and the OOHaskell draft [10]. The introductory lecture (on the Expression Problem & Co.) also leverages our publication [14]. Besides, the tutorial takes advantage of and relates to the rich literature on type-level programming (mostly in Haskell), object encoding and OO programming support in functional programming (again, mostly in Haske...

Expressive speech synthesis is one of the key technologies to achieve more advanced and natural human-computer interaction. A speech that is able to express various kinds of para-linguistic information that is emotions, speaking styles, intentions, emphasis, and attitudes is an expressive speech. Expressive speech synthesis concerns with synthesizing speech and adding various expressions relate...

This contribution to WWRF WG6 addresses Personal Distributed Environments in the context of reconfigurability. An introduction to this relatively new concept is given including a brief history, and a description of a possible PDE architecture along with consideration of its constituent components mentioning specifically the use of a Device Management Entity and configuration/reconfiguration alg...

This paper presents methods to compensate and monitor the disturbance generated by electric traction units, considering their position in different times, in a railway system. For this purpose, first of all, experimental data of Italy traction system is used and its components are modeled. Then, using proposed algorithm a suitable location for a passive filter is determined. Subsequently, consi...

Having just re-read the brochure by Dr. Forbes Winslow on "? Spiritualistic Madness," I cannot refrain from mentioning an instance where I quite believe that a distinct epidemical spiritualistic contagion was present in a room as decided as any miasma at times recognised by sensitive people as the cause of any given fever. I was calling on a friend in Paris, whom I did not know to be a spiritua...

How do infants come to understand references to absent objects? 14-month-old infants first learned a name for a novel toy, which was then placed out of view. The infants who listened to a story mentioning the nonvisible object, looked, pointed, and searched for it more often than did infants who heard a story using a different name. Their behavior was affected by minor changes in context; they ...
