PT XXYZ is an oil and gas industry company that a downstream company, namely processes crude into various products are ready to be transferred the market. Oil companies, especially XXYZ, certainly faced with challenges need related future business continuity, in form of challenge substituting fossil sources environmentally friendly energy followed by rapid technological developments. also alway...

In many real-time resource-constrained embedded systems, highly-predictable system behavior is a key design requirement. The “time-triggered co-operative” (TTC) scheduling algorithm provides a good match for a wide range of low-cost embedded applications. As a consequence of the resource, timing, and power constraints, the implementation of such algorithm is often far from trivial. Thus, basic ...

We show that semiparametric proole likelihoods, where the nuisance parameter has been prooled out, behave like ordinary likelihoods in that they have a quadratic expansion. In this expansion the score function and the Fisher information are replaced by the eecient score function and eecient Fisher information, respectively. The expansion may be used, among others, to prove the asymptotic normal...

Reconfigurable computing obtains its performance advantage over fixed processors by creating hardware configurations specialized for a particular application. In some cases this advantage can be pushed even further, by creating hardware specialized to a particular instance of an application. For many problems where this approach is applicable, such as automatic target recognition, template matc...

The biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities present in five Sardinian soils (Italy) subjected to different land-use (tilled vineyard, covered vineyard, pasture, managed meadow and cork-oak formation) was analysed using a pyrosequencing-based approach for the first time. Two regions of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene were considered as molecular target. The pyrosequencing produ...

This paper explores statistically pose estimation in SAR ATR. Based on our proposed method of maximizing mutual information, further experiments are conducted by using the new MSTAR/ IU Database. Different pose estimator topologies and training criteria are also employed. Experimental results show that our proposed method reduces the average pose estimation error to within 10 degrees of the tru...

portable information appliances, the extraordinary power consumption ratio of memory accesses promotes importance of efficient memory system design to an ultimate. We address the following issues: how to minimize memory bandwidth requirement for instruction accesses, and how to minimize memory access delay, again for instruction accesses. Then we propose to move dynamic branch handler (e.g., br...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pitch distance on the primary stability (PS) of orthodontic mini-implants (MIs) in artificial bone. Twenty experimental MIs were allocated to two groups, according to their geometric design: G1 (30o X 0.6 mm) and G2 (45o X 0.8 mm), and inserted into artificial bone of different densities: D1 (0.32 g/cm3) and D2 (0.64 g/cm3). The maximum insert...
