Time for Professional Societies to Be Bold and Wise

Professional Expertise Research Fields of Interest Professional Societies and Activities

His professional expertise encompasses radar remote sensing, radar polarimetry, polarimetric scattering analysis, environmental change detection, polarimetric SAR image analysis for monitoring the planet earth. He and his group have developed “Four-component scattering power decomposition” for the utilization of polarimetric SAR image interpretation, which is one of the essential part of polari...

Control engineering and the professional societies

By the time control engineering emerged as a coherent body of knowledge and practice (during and just after WW2) professional engineering societies had existed for many decades. Since control engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of the profession, new sections devoted to control were quickly established within the various existing technical societies. In addition, some new bodies devoted ...

Tackling HIV in MENA: Talk Is Not Enough–It Is Time for Bold Actions: A Response to Recent Commentaries

From the time-wise to space-wise GOCE observables

The observables of the GOCE three-axis gradiometer are taken in time, along the orbit and, in the timewise proposal, filtered to stay in the measurement bandwidth, i.e. in the frequency interval between 0.005 and 0.1 Hz. As a consequence, the resulting “observable” is a convolution of the original data stream with a time-wise weighting kernel. In other words, we cannot assume that the observati...

a benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds

uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
