This research examined the observed datasets and a theoretically derived model for estimating yearly optimum tilt angle (β), maximum incident solar radiation (Hmax), clean gain indicator (CGI), soiling loss (SLI) at Mumbwa, Zambia, Mediterranean Region, low latitude locations across globe. The cleaned tilted collector emerged as best performing due to Hmax much higher energy gains compared with...

We introduce a method for encoding co-occurrence of features in the HMAX model of visual recognition, and conduct a series of experiments to investigate the contribution of co-occurrence towards better recognition performance. We show that classification accuracy is increased by adding a higher-order layer to the HMAX processing hierarchy, whereby co-occurrence of features is encoded as a new d...

The field of computational cognitive neuroscience (CCN) builds and tests neurobiologically detailed computational models that account for both behavioral and neuroscience data. This article leverages a key advantage of CCN-namely, that it should be possible to interface different CCN models in a plug-and-play fashion-to produce a new and biologically detailed model of perceptual category learni...

Motivation: Based on the known properties of the neurons in the earlier information-processing areas, such as V1, it is possible to make a very quantitative model of how the visual cortex may be organized. In fact, Riesenhuber and Poggio’s HMAX model has been useful in making several physiologically consistent predictions about the properties of the visual cortex [4]. The HMAX model can also be...

Analyzing tree structural features and capturing their temporal dynamic is challenging but crucial for determining key state variables related to plant function, management practices, aboveground vegetation stocks. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides a mean representing those in three-dimensional space through time. Here we further developed tested two point cloud slice-based methods esti...

The paper presents a new relaxation for hybrid planning with continuous numeric and propositional state variables based on subgoaling, generalising the subgoaling principle underlying the hmax and hadd heuristics to such problems. Our relaxation improves on existing interval-based relaxations by taking into account some negative interactions between effects when achieving a subgoal, resulting i...

This paper presents a methodology for probabilistic hazard assessment for the multihazard seismic and tsunami phenomena [probabilistic seismic and tsunami hazard analysis (PSTHA)]. For this work, a full-rupture event along the Cascadia subduction zone is considered and the methodology is applied to a study area of Seaside, Oregon, which is located on the US Pacific Northwest coast. In this work...
