This paper proposes instantaneous environment adaptation techniques for both additive noise and channel distortion based on the fast PMC (FPMC) and the MAP-CMS methods. The instantaneous adaptation techniques enable a recognizer to improve recognition on a single sentence that is used for the adaptation in real-time. The key innovations enabling the system to achieve the instantaneous adaptatio...

Finding maximum a posteriori (MAP) solutions from noisy images based on a prior Markov Random Field (MRF) model is a huge computational task. In this paper we transform the computational problem into an integer linear programming (ILP) problem. We explore the use of Lagrange relaxation (LR) methods for solving the MAP problem. In particular three diierent algorithms based on LR are presented. A...

Let C be an additive subgroup of Z n 2k for any k ≥ 1. We define a Gray map Φ : Z n 2k −→ Z kn 2 such that Φ(C) is a binary propelinear code and, hence, a Hamming-compatible group code. Moreover, Φ is the unique Gray map such that Φ(C) is Hamming-compatible group code. Using this Gray map we discuss about the nonexistence of 1-perfect binary mixed group code.

The extent to which epistasis contributes to adaptation, population differentiation, and speciation is a long-standing and important problem in evolutionary genetics. Using recombinant inbred (RI) lines of Arabidopsis thaliana grown under natural field conditions, we have examined the genetic architecture of fitness-correlated traits with respect to epistasis; we identified both single-locus ad...

For general asymptotically sub-additive potentials (resp. asymptotically additive potentials) on general topological dynamical systems, we establish some variational relations between the topological entropy of the level sets of Lyapunov exponents, measuretheoretic entropies and topological pressures in this general situation. Most of our results are obtained without the assumption of the exist...

In this paper, we study one-Lee weight and two-Lee weight codes over Z2Z2[u], where u = 0. Some properties of one-Lee weight Z2Z2[u]-additive codes are given, and a complete classification of one-Lee weight Z2Z2[u]-additive formally self-dual codes is obtained. The structure of two-Lee weight projective Z2Z2[u] codes are determined. Some optimal binary linear codes are obtained directly from on...

Let R be a ring with involution containing nontrivial symmetric idempotent element e and δ: → generalized ∗-reverse derivable map. In this paper, our aim is to show that under some suitable restrictions imposed on every map of additive.

The current work provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in polymer and metal additive manufacturing and provides a progress report on the science and technology behind gradient metal alloys produced through laser deposition. The research discusses a road map for creating gradient metals using additive manufacturing, demonstrates basic science results obtainable through the methodology, sh...
