Background: Multisource feedback (MSF) is increasingly being used as one of the components in revalidation and recertification processes to guide physicians’ continuing professional development. Data provided by coworkers (e.g., nurses, pharmacists, technicians) are recognized as integral for assessing a physician’s communication, teamwork and interprofessional abilities. The purpose of this st...

This paper exhibits an algorithm based on Volterra-type processing in order to detect several independent sources on the same carrier frequency and to determine the number of them. The use of infinite impulse ratio (IIR) Volterra filtering to build a suitable discrimination test is dictated by the need of higher-order moments in this type of nonlinear problem, as well as the need of IIR for con...

Recent domain adaptation methods successfully learn crossdomain transforms to map points between source and target domains. Yet, these methods are either restricted to a single training domain, or assume that the separation into source domains is known a priori. However, most available training data contains multiple unknown domains. In this paper, we present both a novel domain transform mixtu...

We describe an extension of the virtual volume concept to multiple sensors. Data from multiple sensors are combined in real-time and mapped into a constantly updating three-dimensional grid. The data are combined in a time-centric manner, with data replacing older data, regardless of the sensor that the older data came from. We discuss scaling problems with this method and how they can be resol...

In a natural environment, speech signals are degraded by both reverberation and concurrent noise sources. While human listening is robust under these conditions using only two ears, current two-microphone algorithms perform poorly. The psychological process of figure-ground segregation suggests that the target signal is perceived as a foreground while the remaining stimuli are perceived as a ba...

This paper proposes a blockchain-based supply chain information operation method to solve the current shortage of business sharing in chain. These approaches include idea blockchain application realize information, architecture production enterprises based on blockchain, and hierarchical model flow blockchain. block recording internal external data sources chain, including composition structure...

The development of very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery has produced a huge amount of data. The multiplication of satellites which embed different types of sensors provides a lot of heterogeneous images. Consequently, the image analyst has often many different images available, representing the same area of the Earth surface. These images can be from different dates, produced by differe...
