The space-based gravitational wave detector LISA will observe mergers of massive black hole binary systems (MBHBs) to cosmological distances, as well inspiralling stellar-origin (or stellar-mass) binaries (SBHBs) years before they enter the LIGO/Virgo band. Much remains be explored for parameter recovery both classes systems. Previous MBHB analyses relied on inspiral-only signals and/or a simpl...

Paterson [l] has recently shown that the trivial necessary conditions are sufficient for the existence of a (binary) perfect map. These periodic structures can be transformed very simply into corresponding aperiodic and semi-periodic perfect maps. However, aperiodic and semi-periodic perfect maps can exist for parameter sets for which the corresponding periodic perfect maps cannot. In this pape...

To explore large-scale population indoor interactions, we analyze 18,715 users' WiFi access logs recorded in a Chinese university campus during 3 months, and define two categories of human interactions, the event interaction (EI) and the temporal interaction (TI). The EI helps construct a transmission graph, and the TI helps build an interval graph. The dynamics of EIs show that their active du...

The tactile matrix sensors often generate the binary imprints of the explored shapes in robotics. For the shape recognition, their vectors of the characteristic features define both the prototypes and the unknown shapes. The similarity between two shapes is estimated with different distances. The paper recommends the reference distances and defines the regions of the accepted tolerance, associa...

It has recently been shown that the NP-hard problem of calculating the minimum number of hybridization events that is needed to explain a set of rooted binary phylogenetic trees by means of a hybridization network is fixed-parameter tractable if an instance of the problem consists of precisely two such trees. In this paper, we show that this problem remains fixed-parameter tractable for an arbi...

A single index model is studied with binary response and mixed explanatory variables represented by a continuous part and one binary discrete variable. The model leads to a two sample semiparametric problem with a shift parameter related to this discrete variable. The minimal Fisher information for the shift parameter is found in a class of nonparametric link functions. Two root-n consistent es...

There has been remarkable progress in numerical relativity recently. This has led to the generation of gravitational waveform signals covering what has been traditionally termed the three phases of the coalescence of a compact binary the inspiral, merger and ringdown. In this paper, we examine the usefulness of inspiral only templates for both detection and parameter estimation of the full coal...

Targets and objects registration and tracking in a sequence of images play an important role in various areas. One of the methods in image registration is feature-based algorithm which is accomplished in two steps. The first step includes finding features of sensed and reference images. In this step, a scale space is used to reduce the sensitivity of detected features to the scale changes. Afterw...
