Abstract In the backdrop of overwhelming evidences associations between North-Atlantic (NA) sea-surface temperature (SST) and Indian summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR), lack a quantitative nonlinear causal inference has been roadblock for advancing ISMR predictability. Here, we advance hypothesis teleconnection NA-SST ISMR, establish causality two using different techniques. We unravel that El Nino...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) suffer from many security attacks when deployed either in remote or hostile environments. Among possible attacks, the Sybil attack is one of the severe attacks in which malicious nodes report false identities and location information such that the remaining nodes believe that many nodes exist in their vicinity. The current study proposes a method for detecting Sy...

Black and Scholes model was developed for valuing the options in derivatives market year 1973. This became prime tool pricing but because of its deficiencies it forced researchers to find out new (Rubinstein, 1985; Hull White, 1987; Wiggins, Dumas, Fleming Whaley, 1998). Option is proven be very challenging task during high volatility situations whereas option not a successful predictor determi...

he empirical studies have shown that cost advantages can occur due to economies of scale and economies of learning. However, a few studies have attempted to distinguish between these two effects on reducing costs. This paper is the first attempt on recognizing the impact of learning on reducing the cost with distinguishing the effect of economies of scale in Iran. Therefore, this study aims to ...

William Allen, aged 40, a West Indian Negro, contracted syphilis about two years ago, for which he seems to have been salivated. The teeth were loosened, the gums spongy, and these with the insides of the cheeks became ulcerated. From thafe time ulceration and salivation have been constantly present. About a year ago the disease involved the greater part of the lower lip. The case had then been...

A particle filter framework of multiple evidence fusion and model matching in a sequence of images is presented for robust recognition and pose estimation of 3D objects. It attempts to challenge a long-standing problem in robot vision, so called, how to ensure the dependability of its performance under the large variation in visual properties of a scene due to changes in illumination, texture, ...
