A representative general polarimetric model-based decomposition framework was proposed by Chen et al., which implements a simultaneous full-parameter inversion using complete information and solves several limitations in previous methods. However, there are still shortcomings Chen’s work. Firstly, only the real part of parameter β generalized surface scattering model is considered. Secondly, in...

This paper proposes a new crossover operator for searching over discrete probability spaces. The design of the operator is considered in the light of recent theoretical insights into genetic search provided by forma analysis. A non-trivial test problem in enforcing coherency of probability estimates in cross-impact analysis highlights the utility of the designed operators. The presented operato...

Long used as a framework for abstract modelling of genetic regulatory networks, the Random Boolean Network model possesses interesting robustness-related behaviour. We introduce coherency, a new measure of robustness based on a system’s state space, and defined as the probability of switching between attraction basins due to perturbation. We show that this measure has both upper and random-case...

The integration of many cores per chip will lead to inefficiency of traditional multi-processor techniques. In particular, a hardware cache coherency protocol includes performance and hardware overhead, so that for a growing number of cores the coherence wall problem will become more serious. The Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) is a recent research processor of a Cluster-on-Chip architecture, ...

In this paper we use wavelet coherency and phase-difference analysis to classify all Spanish provinces based on Monthly Total Mortgage data in each province and Quarterly Gross Domestic Product data in Spain. The information obtained using wavelet analysis leads us to propose two different classifications for the fifty-two Spanish provinces. First, we use the wavelet coherency level between two...

A parametric study of nonlinear seismic response analysis of transmission line structures subjected to earthquake loading is studied in this paper. The transmission lines are modeled by cable element which accounts for the nonlinearity of the cable based on a real project. Nonuniform ground motions are generated using a stochastic approach based on random vibration analysis. The effects of mult...
