7 An automated registration system named AISIR (Automated Inter-sensor/Inter8 band Satellite Image Registration) has been designed and implemented for 9 the purpose of registering satellite images acquired using different sensors and 10 spectral bands. Sensor and environmental noise, contrast non-uniformities, 11 and inter-sensor and inter-band intensity mapping differences are addressed 12 in ...

A model for high temperature superconductors based on the idea of Cooper pairs comprised of electrons from different bands is studied. We propose that the two bands relevant for the cuprates are comprised of Cu dx2−y2, dz2 , planar O pσ, and apical O pz orbitals. Along the diagonal, kx = ky in the Brillouin zone, the two band Fermi surfaces may cross. We associate the optimal doping for the hig...

Recently, fractal and subband coding were combined to achieve good picture quality at very low bit rates, and the technique was named predictive pyramid coding (PPC) [5]. In this paper, we improve PPC performance by utilizing the inter-subband correlation between different groups of subbands. As a result, we can reduce the bit rate by 0.0110.043 bpp without degrading the coded picture quality,...

Motivated by the concept of Communicative Language Ability and the eminence of the IELTS exam, this study intended to scrutinize the representation of functional knowledge (FK) and socio-linguistic knowledge (SK) as sub-components of pragmatic knowledge in the writing performances of both tasks of the online General IELTS-practice resources across three band scores. This quantitative inter-scor...

In multi-band optical networks, a band-switchable cross-connect (MB-OXC), which enables not only the output port but also wavelength band of input signals to be switched, can significantly increase accommodated traffic volume. An all-optical inter-band converter (AO-WC) is key device achieve MB-OXC and required have little signal degradation even when pass through it many times. this paper, we ...
