The conjecture that when an additive hard-core mixture phase separates when one of the phases is spatially ordered, well supported by considerable evidence, is in contradiction with some simulations of a binary mixture of hard cubes on cubic lattices. By extending Rosenfeld's fundamental measure theory to lattice models we show that the phase behavior of this mixture is far more complex than si...

Researchers have been working on human face recognition for decades. Face recognition is hard due to different types of variations in face images, such as pose, illumination and expression, among which pose variation is the hardest one to deal with. To improve face recognition, this thesis presents an integrated approach to performing pose robust video-based face tracking and recognition by usi...

This bound is achieved by the maximum volume ellipsoid contained in K. Ellipsoids have also been critical to the design and analysis of efficient algorithms. The most notable example is the ellipsoid algorithm (1, 2) for linear (3) and convex optimization (4), which represents a frontier of polynomial-time solvability. For the basic problems of sampling and integration in high dimension, the in...

the model fluids containing hard ellipses (hes) and gay-berne (gb) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using monte carlo simulation, nvt ensemble. the dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. the oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against wall ...
