Despite the continuing efforts to improve existing soil moisture retrieval algorithms, the ability to estimate soil moisture from passive microwave observations is still hampered by problems in accurately modelling the observed microwave signal. Due to the significant influence of both soil roughness and vegetation on the measured brightness temperatures, the parameterisation of these variables...

The recent progress in speech and vision has issued from the increased use of machine learning. Not only does the machine learning provides many useful tools, it also help us to understand existing algorithms and their connections in a new light. As a powerful tool in machine learning, support vector machine (SVM) leads to an expensive computational cost in the training phase due to the large n...

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...

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos en el estudio morfológico y químico-elemental, a través de MEB-EDS, la hidroxiapatita sintetizada por método hidrotermal asistido microondas utilizando diferentes concentraciones polivinilpirrolidona (PVP) como controlador tamaño forma las partículas Hap. De acuerdo lo observado con MEB presencia PVP durante síntesis facilita crecimiento nan...

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...
