Abstract. In body surface potential mapping, data conversion can be required whenever merging data sets taken by slightly different data acquisition systems. In this case, we face with a kind of conversion problem. This paper describes a method for solving the problem according to the least-square principle, so the datasets of physically different body surface potential mapping systems become c...

In many business applications that could be built on the basis of Linked Open Data, the conversion of monetary amounts from one currency to another is a much-needed functionality. For example, hotel prices in a comparison shopping application may have to deal with prices given in differing currencies. While currency conversion APIs exist on the Web, their integration into operations over RDF da...

This paper describes an emotion conversion system that combines independent parameter transformation techniques to endow a neutral utterance with a desired target emotion. A set of prosody conversion methods have been developed which utilise a small amount of expressive training data ( 15 min) and which have been evaluated for three target emotions: anger, surprise and sadness. The system perfo...

Temporal compressions of optical pulses and pulse trains have been performed by the photon-echo process in Tm-doped YAG at 793 nm. Single-pulse temporal compression by almost a factor of 500 from 10 micros to 22 ns and pulse train compression by a factor of 14 from 5micros to 350 ns with a high-speed frequency-tunable external-cavity diode laser are demonstrated. It is suspected that significan...

The successful integration of data from autonomous and heterogeneous systems calls for the resolution of semantic conflicts that may be present. Such conflicts are often reflected by discrepancies in attribute values of the same data object. In this paper, we describe a recently developed prototype system, DIRECT (DIscovering and REconciling ConflicTs). The system mines data value conversion ru...

This thesis tackles the problem of data conversion in the Residue Number System (RNS). The RNS has been considered as an interesting theoretical topic for researchers in recent years. Its importance stems from the absence of carry propagation between its arithmetic units. This facilitates the realization of high-speed, low-power arithmetic. This advantage is of paramount importance in embedded ...

This paper proposes a tool that converts non-FCA format data files into an FCA format, thereby making a wide range of public data sets and data produced by non-FCA tools interoperable with FCA tools. This will also offer the power of FCA to a wider community of data analysts. A repository of converted data is also proposed, as a consistent resource of public data for analysis and for the testin...

Two digital techniques are described in this tutorial, both aimed at improving the accuracy of delta-sigma data converters. The first one corrects adaptively for mismatch errors in a MASH ADC, while the other acquires and then corrects for the nonlinearity of the intemal multibit DAC used in the ADC.

This paper uses an analytical and econometric approach to analyze the farmland conversion process, including the effects of population growth, real estate markets, the agricultural-urban edge, and farm returns. We use a unique county-level dataset on farmland conversion for California that tracks conversions between agricultural, urban and other land uses. Paper prepared for the annual meeting ...

background: moving toward progress in every country starts from universities. intellectual capital is a very strong theory that all knowledge-based organizations can utilize to improve their efficacy and productivity.  the purpose of this research was to evaluate the structural equation modeling of knowledge conversion process upon intellectual capital components in public universities of isfah...
