Eleventh British Universities Siberian Studies Seminar: 11–15 September 2006, Vladivostok

Logic Seminar Spring 2006

According to Sacks, it was Friedberg’s construction of a maximal recursively enumerable (r.e.) set that sparked interest in the distributive lattice of r.e. sets, modulo finite sets, under inclusion. Among the major results are the Lachlan’s characterization of the principal filters of hh-simple sets and Soare’s proof that the maximal sets form an orbit. We study the modular lattice L* of r.e. ...

The fusion of medical images taken at the same slice/part of the body by differentmodalities is very useful technique in medical diagnosis. Medical image fusion tried withwavelet transform methods proved to be image dependent and preservation of highfrequency contents of the image by wavelets are also not satisfactory. In this work, curvelettransform is applied for fusion wi...

Examination Timetabling in British Universities: A Survey

This paper describes the results of a questionnaire on examination timetabling sent to the registrars of ninety five British Universities. The survey asked questions in three specific categories. Firstly, universities were asked about the nature of their examination timetabling problem: how many people, rooms, periods are involved and what difficulties are associated with the problem? Secondly,...

ARC Collaborative Research Seminar Series Winter 2006

In the first part of this presentation, recent advances in reliability-based robust design optimization (RBRDO) will be presented. The objective of RBRDO is to minimize the product quality loss function subject to probabilistic constraints. Since the quality loss function is usually expressed in terms of the first two statistical moments, mean and variance, many methods have been proposed to ac...
