This paper proposes the adaptation of Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) to the multiple kernel case (MK-SVDD), based on SimpleMKL. It also introduces a variant called Slim-MK-SVDD that is able to produce a tighter frontier around the data. For the sake of comparison, the equivalent methods are also developed for One-Class SVM, known to be very similar to SVDD for certain shapes of kernels....

Impact of the satellite data assimilation on the naval undersea capability is investigated using the ocean hydrographic data without and with satellite data assimilation. The former is the Navy’s Global Digital Environmental Model (GDEM) providing the monthly mean; and the latter is the Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System (MODAS) proving the synoptic data. The two environmental datasets are ...

Lightning strokes are a main source of transformer failures in distribution systems. The discharge lightning current through transformer's high-voltage (HV) side arresters leads to ground potential rise the tank. In case wye-wye connected with ungrounded HV neutral point, can drive low-voltage (LV) windings that an excessive voltage point by inductive transformation. Simulations measurement-bas...

The X-ray microbeam method for measurement of articulatory dynamics has been used to acquire large amounts of data, with reduced X-ray dosage, resulting in one of the most widely used freely available speech production databases. The Xray Microbeam Speech Production Database (XRMB-SPD), developed at Wisconsin University, USA, includes a vast amount of coordinate data describing articulatory mov...

ABSRACT In deepwater, Dynamic Positioning (DP) is proved to be cost-effective for the station keeping and controlling of the floating structures. This paper will show that the DP simulation and control of a floating vessel can be achieved in a numerical wave-tank. The complex interaction of the wind, waves and current forces against the vessel is modeled for the required station positioning wit...

Characterizing transient flow is not a trivial venture. It provides an excellent challenge for a senior mechanical engineering lab class. This project aimed at developing a new physical system for such a class based on the benefits and short comings of the previously used physical system. A physical system was developed to vary key parameters, such as run length and pipe diameter. Pipe diameter...
