the potential function of lippincott and schroeder for linear hydrogen bond has been re-examined and extended to nonlinear hydrogen bond. the parameters originally introduced to the potential function by lippincott and schroeder have been determined from the structural parameters such as 0.. .odistance 0-h bond distance, h.. .o distance and hoo angle. thevalidity of harmonic oscillator approxim...

Telugu is the third most spoken language in India and one of the fifteen most spoken languages in the world. But, there is no standardized input method for Telugu, which has a widespread use. Since majority of users of Telugu typing tools on the computers are familiar with English, we propose a transliteration based text input method in which the users type Telugu using Roman script. We have sh...

Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) is a classic technique that seeks vectorial representations for data points, given the pairwise distances between them. However, in recent years, data are usually collected from diverse sources or have multiple heterogeneous representations. How to do multidimensional scaling on multiple input distance matrices is still unsolved to our best knowledge. In this pape...

The 2:1 orbital resonances of the GJ 876 system can be easily established by the differential planet migration due to planet-nebula interaction. Significant eccentricity damping is required to produce the observed orbital eccentricities. The geometry of the GJ 876 resonance configuration differs from that of the Io-Europa pair, and this difference is due to the magnitudes of the eccentricities ...

A belief revision operator can be seen as a function which takes as input a set of beliefsK and an input formula φ and outputs a new set of beliefs K ?φ. Many of the belief revision schemes that have been defined in the literature require additional input. The extra information they need comes in various forms: relations over subsets of the sets of beliefs [2], epistemic entrenchment relations ...

There is no consensus on measuring distances between two different neural network architectures. Two folds of methods are used for that purpose: Structural and behavioral distance measures. In this paper, we focus on the later one that compares differences based on output responses given the same input. Usually neural network output can be interpreted as a probabilistic function given the input...

We consider the question under which circumstances the straight skeleton and the Voronoi diagram of a given input shape coincide. More precisely, we investigate convex distance functions that stem from centrally symmetric convex polyhedra as unit balls and derive sufficient and necessary conditions for input shapes in order to obtain identical straight skeletons and Voronoi diagrams with respec...

This study investigates the water demand of Indian manufacturing plants. It adopts an input distance function approach and approximates it by a translog form. Duality between cost function and input distance function is exploited to retrieve information concerning substitutability and the shadow price of water. The model is estimated, using linear programming approach, on a sample of 92 firms o...
