In utility computing environments, multiple users and applications are served from the same r esource pool. To maintain service level objectives and maintain high levels of utilization in the resource pool, it is desirable that resources be assigne d in a manner consistent with operator policies, while ensuring that shared resources (e.g., networks) within the pool do not become bottlenecks. Th...

The International Materials Resource Registries (IMRR) working group of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) was created to spur initial development a federated registry system allow for easier discovery and access materials data. As part this effort, controlled vocabulary metadata schema were developed with contributions from members other experts. Here we describe process, resulting XML schema, l...

Fast tracking and security are important factor for data transmission in wireless communication. Retrodirective antenna(RDA) is possible for the high-speed beam tracking without any priori location information. Therefore, RDA system is appropriate technology in wireless mobile communication. Also, it is possible to improve security by making direction toward the source. In this paper, we propos...

BACKGROUND Little prospectively collected data are available comparing the dietary intake of urea cycle disorder (UCD) patients to UCD treatment guidelines or to healthy individuals. OBJECTIVE To examine the protein and calorie intakes of UCD subjects who participated in clinical trials of glycerol phenylbutyrate (GPB) and compare these data to published UCD dietary guidelines and nutritional...

Recurrent Neural Networks architectures excel at processing sequences by modelling dependencies over different timescales. The recently introduced Recurrent Weighted Average (RWA) unit captures long term dependencies far better than an LSTM on several challenging tasks. The RWA achieves this by applying attention to each input and computing a weighted average over the full history of its comput...

We use the Random Dispersion Approximation (RDA) to study the Mott-Hubbard transition in the Hubbard model at half band filling. The RDA becomes exact for the Hubbard model in infinite dimensions. We implement the RDA on finite chains and employ the Lanczos exact diagonalization method in real space to calculate the ground-state energy, the average double occupancy, the charge gap, the momentum...

The present research is an introductory paper on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems. A review on topics and techniques related to the longrange and shortrange SAR systems are presented. The longrange SAR image is constructed using RangeDoppler Algorithm (RDA); while the RangeMigration Algorithm (RMA) is implemented with shortrange SAR for image formation. The simulation results indica...

Studies were conducted in selected areas in three states namely Johor (n=117, male=55, female=62), Negeri Sembilan (n=130, male=52, female=78) and Malacca (n=97, male=33, female=64) involving free living elderly (age range from 60 to 93 years old). Respondents were divided into three age cohort groups that is 60 to 69 years, 70 to 79 years and above 80 years old. Assessment of macro and micronu...

In this paper, we make a study on three Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) based methods: Regularized Discriminant Analysis (RDA), Discriminant Common Vectors (DCV) and Maximal Margin Criterion (MMC) in the Small Sample Size (SSS) problem. Our contributions are that: 1) we reveal that DCV obtains the same projection subspace as both RDA and wMMC (weighted MMC, a general form of MMC) when RDA’s ...
