the northwestern part of the kerman cenozoic magmatic arc (kcma) contains many areas with porphyry copper mineralization. in this research, we used the advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (aster) and enhanced thematic mapper plus (etm+) images of this region to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks, based on their mineral assemblages. the spectral meas...

e-learning, shows much promise in accessibility and opportunity to learn, due to its asynchronous nature and its ability to transmit knowledge fast and effectively. However without a universal standard for online learning and teaching, many systems are proclaimed as “e-learning-compliant”, offering nothing more than automated services for delivering courses online, providing no additional enhan...

In this study, we investigate a solution to reduce the effect of oneto-many problem in voice conversion. One-to-many problem in VC happens when two very similar speech segments in source speaker have corresponding speech segments in target speaker that are not similar to each other. As a result, the mapper function usually oversmoothes the generated features in order to be similar to both targe...

From September 12th to 17th, 2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10371 “Dynamic Maps ” was held in Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this...

A descriptive approach for automatic generation of visual blends is presented. The implemented system, the Blender, is composed of two components: the Mapper and the Visual Blender. The approach uses structured visual representations along with sets of visual relations which describe how the elements – in which the visual representation can be decomposed – relate among each other. Our system is...

Time-varying topological simplifications of the space of votes in the US House of Representatives (US HoR) display several interesting features unavailable with classical methods of machine learning. In this paper we demonstrate how a recently developed topological simplification method, MAPPER, can detect changes in collaboration structures within the US HoR over time.

This paper introduces a design space explorer for coarse-grained reconfigurable KressArray architectures to enable the designer to find out the optimal KressArray architecture for a given application. This tool employs a mapper based on simulated annealing, and is highly configurable for a variety of different KressArray architectures. Using performance estimation and other statistic data, the ...

abstract wenner direct contact method is a method of estimating apparent electrical conductivity (eca) of agricultural soils in situ. this method can be affected by factors such as quality of electrodes in contact with soil, type of employed electric current, moisture content, clay content and compaction of soil. in this research, the effect of electrode type (rod and plate) and electric curren...

Schema mapping is a challenging problem. It has come to the fore in recent years; there are important applications like database schema integration and, more recently, digital library (DL) merging of heterogeneous data. With Schema Mapper we demonstrate a semi-automatic tool for schema integration that combines a novel visual interface with an algorithm-based recommendation engine. We use ETANA...
