Statistical veto methods are commonly used to reduce the list of candidate gravitational wave (GW) events which are detected as transient (burst) signals in the main output of GW detectors. If a burst event in the GW channel is coincident with an event in a veto channel (where the veto channel does not contain any GW signal), it is possible to veto the event from the GW channel with a low ‘fals...

The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated at NCBI in 1999 in response to the growing demand for a public repository for data generated from high-throughput microarray experiments. GEO has a flexible and open design that allows the submission, storage, and retrieval of many types of data sets, such as those from high-throughput gene expression, genomic hybridization, and antibody a...

Due to the large difference between normal conditions and damaged road images, geo-location in areas often fails due occlusion or damage buildings iconic signage image. In order study influence of post-war building landmark on geolocation results localization algorithms, improve effect such algorithms under conditions, this paper used informative reference images key point selection. Aiming at ...

Semicontinuous variables have a proportion of responses at some fixed value and a continuous distribution among the remaining responses. Variables of this type occur in economic surveys of individuals or establishments (e.g. specific types of income or expenditures) where distributions are frequently characterized by a mixture of zeros and continuously distributed positive numbers. In this pape...

Several technology breakthroughs are needed to achieve the goals of universal accessibility and usability. These goals are especially challenging in the case of geo-referenced statistical data that many U.S. government agencies supply. We present technical and user-interface design challenges in accommodating users with low-end technology (slow network connection and low-end machine) and users ...

Based on the geo-statistical theory and ArcGIS geo-statistical module, datas of 30 groundwater level observation wells were used to estimate the decline of groundwater level in Beijing piedmont. Seven different interpolation methods (inverse distance weighted interpolation, global polynomial interpolation, local polynomial interpolation, tension spline interpolation, ordinary Kriging interpolat...

The existence of various geo-location applications and their accuracy requirements enhance the necessities for suitable processing techniques to solve the indoor geo-location problems. Since, Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) signals have very short duration pulses; they can provide very accurate ranging and geo-location capability in short range indoor radio propagation environments. Our r...
