To coordinate the supply chain risk caused by demand uncertainty, this paper proposed a flexible return strategy under in which retailer can choose quantity independently put option after selling season, while is usually determined supplier classical strategy. In our novel strategy, exercise price not fixed, and we developed base model of named selective buyback contracts model. We have solved ...

We theoretically evaluate the prediction efficiency of the overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC) compared with the conventional non-overlapped approach. Based on the one-dimensional signal model characterized by the AR(1) process and first-order polynomial motion, a condition under which the performance of the OBMC is better, and an optimum window function are derived. From the results, w...

A key feature of skilled object control is the ability to correct performance errors. This process is not straightforward for unstable objects (e.g., inverted pendulum or "stick" balancing) because the mechanics of the object are sensitive to small control errors, which can lead to rapid performance changes. In this study, we have characterized joint recruitment and coordination processes in an...

This study proposes several high precision selective harmonics compensation schemes for an active power filter. Harmonic currents are identified and on-line tracked by novel Adaline-based architectures which work in different reference-frames resulting from specific currents or powers decompositions. Adalines are linear and adaptive neural networks which present an appropriate structure to fit ...

Compensation has been widely applied to explain neuroimaging findings in neuropsychiatric patients. Functional compensation is often invoked when patients display equal performance and increased neural activity in comparison to healthy controls. According to the compensatory hypothesis increased activity allows the brain to maintain cognitive performance despite underlying neuropathological cha...

Video quality retrieval is an important issue in reconstruction video sequences. The amounts of transmission bitstreams are very large to achieve high video quality reconstruction. Thus, high video quality retrieval is still a challenge problem. The aim of this paper is to reduce the transmission bitstreams and raise reconstruction video quality. In this paper, we propose a scalable block compe...

Transmitter leakage (TxL) has a significant impact on the performance of frequency division duplex devices using zero-IF receivers and thus requires a suitable compensation. In contrast to analog approaches, digital TxL compensation approaches can easily be reconfigured and therefore are highly attractive for multiband mobile devices. In this contribution, we present a system model, describing ...

Dosage compensation is the process by which the expression levels of sex-linked genes are altered in one sex to offset a difference in sex-chromosome number between females and males of a heterogametic species. Degeneration of a sex-limited chromosome to produce heterogamety is a common, perhaps unavoidable, feature of sex-chromosome evolution. Selective pressure to equalize sex-linked gene exp...
