Catering to the evolving bandwidth-on-demand applications requires flexible provisioning architectures that ensure fairness to both high end and low end users of internet. Dynamic classification of network paths into long and short, based on traffic dependent connection holding times and a wavelength allocation from different subsets for these categories is a necessity for implementing energy s...

This paper introduces mNCD, a method for automatic evaluation of machine translations. The measure is based on normalized compression distance (NCD), a general information theoretic measure of string similarity, and flexible word matching provided by stemming and synonyms. The mNCD measure outperforms NCD in system-level correlation to human judgments in English.

Regularization methods improve the stability of ill-posed inverse problems by introducing some a priori characteristics for solution such as smoothness or sharpness. In this contribution, we propose multidimensional, scale-dependent wavelet-based L1-regularization term to cure ill-posedness airborne (time-domain) electromagnetic induction problem. The regularization is flexible, it can recover ...

Even today, some types of fuel cells have been already used in practical applications such as combined heat and power generation applications and space vehicle applications. Though research and development activities are still required, the fuel cell technology is one of the most important technologies that allow us to draw the environment friendly society in the twenty-first century. This sect...

The present paper investigates monitoring of fatigue cracks of a metal structure using an eddy current micro sensor. Fatigue cracks tend to occur at bolt-jointed structures on an aircraft. In order to detect the damage quantitatively, a kind of change-prone micro eddy current sensor is designed and fabricated with flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) technology. A forward semi-analytical model...
