Cereal Chem. 79(3):418–422 The percentage of dark hard vitreous (DHV) kernels in hard red spring wheat is an important grading factor that is associated with protein content, kernel hardness, milling properties, and baking quality. The current visual method of determining DHV and non-DHV (NDHV) wheat kernels is time-consuming, tedious, and subject to large errors. The objective of this research...

We compare an inverse problem approach to parameter estimation with homogenization techniques for characterizing the electrical response of composite dielectric materials in the time domain. We first consider an homogenization method, based on the periodic unfolding method, to identify the dielectric response of a complex material with heterogeneous micro-structures which are described by spati...

Synchronous inter-process communication (IPC) between threads is a popular mechanism for coordination in μ-kernels and component-based operating systems. Significant focus has been placed on its optimization, and consequently the efficiency of practical implementations approaches the lower limits set by hardware. This paper qualitatively compares the predictability properties of the synchronous...

The majority of popular graph kernels is based on the concept Haussler's R-convolution kernel and defines similarities in terms mutual substructures. In this work, we enrich these similarity measures by considering filtrations: Using meaningful orders set edges, which allow to construct a sequence nested graphs, can consider at multiple granularities. A key our approach track features over cour...
