We propose a point-based environment model (PEM) to represent the absolute coordinate frame in which camera motion is to be tracked. The PEM can easily be acquired by laser scanning both indoors and outdoors even over long distances. The approach avoids any expensive modeling step and instead uses the raw point data for scene representation. Also the approach requires no additional artificial m...

The increased integration of renewable energies (REs) raised the uncertainties power systems and has changed approach to dealing with system challenges. Hence, uncertain nature all variables needs be considered while optimal planning operation modern systems. This paper presents a probabilistic active reactive dispatch (POARPD) based on point estimate method (PEM), considering associated load v...

The techniques of patterned excitation microscopy (PEM, also referred to in the literature as structured illumination, harmonic excitation light microscopy, or laterally modulated excitation microscopy), has recently been extended to the non-linear regime, permitting a further increase in resolution breaking the Abbe diffraction limit (saturated PEM, saturated patterned excitation microscopy (S...

Optimal scheduling of reconfigurable interconnected microgrids is a precious and critical task for the residential consumers especially with integration renewable energy sources, dispatchable units storage systems. In this regard, not only optimal in realistic correlated environment necessity, but also guarantied security prevention cyber-attacks are mandatory tasks operators. This article firs...

Intrigued by some recent results on impulse response estimation by kernel and nonparametric techniques, we revisit the old problem of transfer function estimation from input-output measurements. We formulate a classical regularization approach, focused on finite impulse response (FIR) models, and find that regularization is necessary to cope with the high variance problem. This basic, regulariz...

Estimation of state variables of a peak current mode (PCM) controlled DC-DC boost converter supplied by a PEM fuel cell is described in this paper. Since this system is highly nonlinear and non-minimum phase, its state variables are estimated by using fast output sampling method. Estimated state variables are the converter output voltage and its first derivative, and they are suitable for model...

The bacterial reaction center (RC), a membrane photosynthetic protein, has been adsorbed onto a glass surface by alternating deposition with the cationic polymer poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (PDDA) obtaining as an end result an ordinate polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) where the protein retains its integrity and photoactivity over a period of several months. Such a system has been cha...

The γ-condition Smale's point estimate theory a b s t r a c t We introduce the notion of the (one-parameter subgroup) γ-condition for a map f from a Lie group to its Lie algebra and establish α-theory and γ-theory for Newton's method for a map f satisfying this condition. Applications to analytic maps are provided, and Smale's α-theory and γ-theory are extended and developed. Examples arising f...

Replication of time series in microarray experiments is costly. To analyze time series data with no replicate, many model-specific approaches have been proposed. However, they fail to identify the genes whose expression patterns do not fit the pre-defined models. Besides, modeling the temporal expression patterns is difficult when the dynamics of gene expression in the experiment is poorly unde...
