This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of discrete time output feedback sliding mode control design, where the system to be controlled is non-minimum phase. The method described in this paper applies to uncertain (square) systems with matched uncertainties. A connection between previously established output feedback min-max controllers and discrete time sliding mode controllers wil...

Retrieval and filtering systems may apply relevance feedback to gain information on users’ needs in order to improve their ad-hoc queries or long term profiling. Explicit relevance involves explicit ratings of documents or terms by the users and disrupts their normal patterns of browsing and searching. The alternative non-disruptive method is implicit feedback inferring users’ needs and interes...

Recommenders personalize the web content by typically using collaborative filtering to relate users (or items) based on explicit feedback, e.g., ratings. The difficulty of collecting this feedback has recently motivated to consider implicit feedback (e.g., item consumption along with the corresponding time). In this paper, we introduce the notion of consumed item pack (CIP) which enables to lin...

In this paper, we propose a solution to adapt the differential point rendering technique developed by Kalaiah and Varshney to implicit surfaces. Differential point rendering was initially designed for parametric surfaces as a twostage sampling process that strongly relies on an adjacency relationship for the samples, which does not naturally exist for implicit surfaces. This fact made it partic...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the experiential avoidance, explicit and implicit attraction beliefs in obese and normal body mass index (BMI) females. Materials and Methods: This was an analytic cross sectional study. About 400 females (between 20-43 years old) were selected from nutrition and obesity clinics by convenience sampling method. The 40 items avoidance questionnaire...

Due to the number of potential applications and their inherent complexity, automatic capture and analysis of actions have become an active research area. In this paper, an implicit method for recognizing actions in a video is proposed. Existing implicit methods work on the regions of subjects, but our proposed system works on the surrounding regions, called negative spaces, of the subjects. Ext...

In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of Relevance Feedback algorithms inspired by Quantum Detection in the context of the Dynamic Domain track. Documents and queries are represented as vectors; the query vector is projected into the subspace spanned by the eigenvector which maximizes the distance between the distribution of quantum probability of relevance and the distribution of quan...

this research aimed to examine the effect of sequential stimuli technique on acquisition, retention and transfer of ocular motor sequence. first sequential stimuli, time record, response error software was designed. 60 right-handed novices (15-18 years) were divided into five groups (blocked – explicit, blocked – implicit, random – explicit, random-implicit and control). all groups performed a ...

A unified method for simulating multiphase flows using an exactly mass, momentum, and energy conserving Cell-Integrated SemiLagrangian advection algorithm is presented. The deforming material boundaries are represented using the moment-of-fluid method. The new algorithm uses a semi-implicit pressure update scheme that asymptotically preserves the standard incompressible pressure projection meth...
