We present a streaming model for large-scale classification (in the context of l2-SVM) by leveraging connections between learning and computational geometry. The streaming model imposes the constraint that only a single pass over the data is allowed. The l2-SVM is known to have an equivalent formulation in terms of the minimum enclosing ball (MEB) problem, and an efficient algorithm based on th...

The classical minimum energy broadcast (MEB) problem in wireless adhoc networks, which is wellstudied in the scientific literature, considers an antenna model that allows the adjustment of the transmission power to any desired real value from zero up to the maximum transmission power. However, when specifically considering sensor networks, a look at the currently available hardware shows that t...

The scope of this study is to establish the parameters of the L-band (1.4 GHz) Microwave Emission of the Biosphere model (L-MEB) for grass covers, and to assess surface soil moisture retrievals in areas covered by grass. L-MEB parameters are key ancillary information for the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission (SMOS) retrieval algorithm that produces estimates of the surface soil moisture ...

Boiling heat transfer is a superior heat transfer technology using the latent heat transport with phase-change. However, it has been difficult to employ as a cooling technology for electronics because the unstable transition boiling and film boiling with excessive high temperature are impossible to control. In highly subcooled boiling, the coalescing bubbles formed on the heating surface collap...

Recently, post-translational modification of proteins has been defined as a new area of focus for muscular dystrophy research by the identification of a group of disease genes that encode known or putative glycosylation enzymes. Walker-Warburg Syndrome (WWS) and muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB) are caused by mutations in two genes involved in O-mannosylation, POMT1 and POMGnT1, respectively. Fuku...

The SMOS satellite mission, launched in 2009, allows global soil moisture estimations to be made using the L-band Microwave Emission of the Biosphere (L-MEB) model, which simulates the L-band microwave emissions produced by the soil–vegetation layer. This model was calibrated using various sources of in situ and airborne data. In the present study, we propose to evaluate the L-MEB model on the ...

Most proteins within living organisms contain glycans. Glycan structures can modulate the biological properties and function of glycoproteins. Developments in glycobiology have revealed a new type of glycosidic linkage to the peptide portion, the O-mannosyl linkage in mammals, although heretofore it had been thought to be specific to yeast. One of the best known O-mannosyl-modified glycoprotein...
