This article is intended as both a mathematical overview of the generalizations of analytic signals to higher dimensional problems as well as their applications and comparisons on artificial and real-world image samples. We first start by reviewing the basic concepts behind analytic signal theory and derive its mathematical background based on boundary value problems of one dimensional analytic...

For the planning of large infrastructure projects, such as tunnelled inner-city carriageways, completely different scales have to be considered – ranging from the scale of several kilometres for the general routing of the carriageway down to centimetre scale for the detailed planning of track nodes. However, today’s planning software hardly supports multi-scale approaches. The paper presents a ...

We describe a constraint programming approach to establish the coal carrying capacity of a large (2,670km) rail network in northeastern Australia. Computing the capacity of such a network is necessary to inform infrastructure planning and investment decisions but creating a useful model of rail operations is challenging. Analytic approaches exist but they are not very accurate. Simulation metho...

when neo-conservative came to power, they acquired twofold behavioral models towards nuclear case of iran. mainly, this derives of essential conflicts of the two state, and partly, because of differential regional and international interests and favorites of u.s. and islamic republic of iran. with studying iranian nuclear viewpoints, we analyze the mentioned american strategy and tactics, with ...

In studying grasping and manipulation we find two very different approaches to the subject: knowledge-based approaches based primarily on empirical studies of human grasping and manipulation, and analytical approaches based primarily on physical models of the manipulation process. This chapter begins with a review of studies of human grasping, in particular our development of a grasp taxonomy a...

Despite cross-disciplinary interest in social influence among adolescent peer groups, significant variations in collecting and analyzing peer network data have not been explored, so it is difficult to disentangle substantive and methodological differences in peer influence studies. We analyze two types of network data (self-reported friendships and multi-informant reports of children who “hang ...

BACKGROUND A key requirement for a useful power calculation is that the calculation mimic the data analysis that will be performed on the actual data, once that data is observed. Close approximations may be difficult to achieve using analytic solutions, however, and thus Monte Carlo approaches, including both simulation and bootstrap resampling, are often attractive. One setting in which this i...
