This paper focuses on the stability of a class of linear systems including gamma-distributed delay with a gap. More precisely, a complete characterization of stability regions is given in the corresponding (delay, mean-delay) parameter-space. Optimal delay intervals are explicitly computed. The stabilizing/destabilizing delay effect will be explicitly outlined, and discussed. Several illustrati...

We introduce a new width parameter for matroids called decomposition width and prove that every matroid property expressible in the monadic second order logic can be computed in linear time for matroids with bounded decomposition width if their decomposition is given. Since decompositions of small width for our new notion can be computed in polynomial time for matroids of bounded branch-width r...

ion means that every possible attribute is not represented by the object, thus 34 helping make necessary simplifications. Encapsulation means that the attributes that are present are hidden, and the user or programmer has to interact with or ask the object for information. The fourth characteristic of OOP is polymorphism. Polymorphism refers to the fact that different objects can respond to the...

the purpose of this paper is measuring and analyzing the impacts of meat price changes on consumer’s welfare. first, the almost ideal demand system (aids) was estimated for meats in urban household in 1984-2009 years. then, compensating variation (cv) criterion was computed to measuring the consumer’s welfare changes based on taylor series expansion method and the results from the estimated aid...

A preliminary set of experiments are described in which a biologically-inspired computer vision system (Serre, Wolf et al. 2005; Serre 2006; Serre, Oliva et al. 2006; Serre, Wolf et al. 2006) designed for visual object recognition was applied to the task of phonetic classification. During learning, the system processed 2-D wideband magnitude spectrograms directly as images, producing a set of 2...
