Recently there has been much interest in Gowers uniformity norms from the perspective of theoretical computer science. This is mainly due to the fact that these norms provide a method for testing whether the maximum correlation of a function f : F p → Fp with polynomials of degree at most d ≤ p is non-negligible, while making only a constant number of queries to the function. This is an instanc...

Imposing an extensional uniformity condition on a non-uniform circuit complexity class C means simply intersecting C with a uniform class L. By contrast, the usual intensional uniformity conditions require that a resource-bounded machine be able to exhibit the circuits in the circuit family defining C. We say that (C,L) has the Uniformity Duality Property if the extensionally uniform class C∩L ...

In this article, nonuniformity effects on free vibration analysis of functionally graded beams is discussed. variation in material properties is modeled after Powerlaw and exponential models and the non-uniformity is assumed to be exponentially varying in the width along the beams with constant thickness. Analytical solution is achieved for free vibration with simply supported conditions. It is...

For crop production it is desirable for the mapping between genotype and phenotype to be consistent, such that an optimized genotype produces uniform sets of individual plants. Uniformity is strongly selected in breeding programs, usually automatically, as harvest equipment eliminates severely non-uniform individuals. Uniformity is genetically controlled, is known to be increased by interplant ...

corrosion of reinforcing steel and other embedded metals is the main cause of severe deterioration in reinforced concrete structures which subsequently imposes adverse effects on ultimate and serviceability limit state performance of the whole structure. in this paper, a new corrosion detection method for reinforced concrete beams, based on wavelet analysis is presented. to evaluate the capabil...

The non-uniform response in infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) detectors produces corrupted images with a fixed-pattern noise. In this paper we present an enhanced adaptive scene-based non-uniformity correction (NUC) technique. The method simultaneously estimates detector’s parameters and performs the non-uniformity compensation using a neural network approach. In addition, the proposed method ...

This paper presents a study on the measurement of spectral match and spatial non-uniformity indoor solar simulator available in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). which was successfully fabricated at Applied Solar Energy Laboratory (ASEL) had used quartz tungsten halogen lamp as its only light source. Upon fabrication, reliability ASEL’s has not been proved yet there is no concrete evi...

Network tra c can be reduced significantly if caching is utilized e ectively. As an e ort in this direction we study the replacement problem that arises in caching of multimedia objects. The size of objects and the cost of cache misses are assumed non-uniform. The non-uniformity of size is inherent in multimedia objects, and the non-uniformity of cost is due to the non-uniformity of size and th...
