A multi-scroll attractor reflects the structural diversity of dynamic system, and multi-stability behavior its state diversity. Multi-scroll chaotic systems can produce complex random sequences, which have important application values in field data security. However, current works on multi-scroll–multi-steady been carried out separately, rather than simultaneously. This paper considers a three-...

This paper investigates risk premiums embedded in commodity convenience yields, i.e., returns on convenience-claim investments. The analysis is conducted in two steps. First, monthly convenience yields are extracted from a broad sample of commodity futures by using a three-factor model. Second, a multi-factor asset pricing model with conditional betas is estimated to determine risk premiums emb...

We model and analyze a User-Equipment (UE) based wireless network selection method where individuals act on their stochastic knowledge of the expected behavior off their available networks. In particular, we focus on networks with millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio. Modeling mmWave radio access technologies (RATs) as a stochastic 3-state process based on their physical layer characteristics in Line...

Matched to the proportions found in the U.K. census data for a range of demographic variables (age, sex, and socioeconomic status) 123 participants were tested on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) and a test of the minimum presentation time required to identify tachistoscopically presented words. The correlations between the sum of the scaled scores for Full, Verbal, and Pe...

This paper describes an application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) for multi-modal fusion of features in a 3D face recognition system. A decision making process is outlined that is based on the performance of multi-modal features in a face recognition task involving a set of 3D face databases. In particular, the fuzzy interval valued MCDM technique called TOPSIS is applied for ranking...

This paper provides a study concerning IT value substance in IT-based industries. The applied method is a partial adjustment valuation approach, expressing that the real output is part of the preferred output. Thus, there should be a coefficient between both, which shakes the relationship in between, called a speed of adjustment. To examine the method, this theory experimented six Indonesian IT...

The extensive use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has enabled the development of new ways of teaching and learning. ICT provides flexibility to a learner which is denied by the traditional learning process. This paper proposes an integrated structure of virtual laboratory setup to conduct online laboratory sessions for UG/PG level courses of engineering programmes. The setup p...
