Moving plaid patterns composed of component gratings that differ in luminance contrast tend not to cohere perceptually. Plaid patterns configured to mimic one occlusive grating overlying another also fail to cohere. We hypothesized that plaids constructed of components with different luminance contrasts fail to cohere because these components are interpreted as occlusive surfaces lying in diffe...

We present a unique 2 h ground-based observation of concurrent magnetospheric hiss, chorus, VLF triggered emissions as well as ELF/VLF signals generated locally by the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility. Eccentricity of observed wave polarization is used as a criteria to identify magnetospheric emissions and estimate their ionospheric exit points. The observations o...

In this paper we use wavelet coherency and phase-difference analysis to classify all Spanish provinces based on Monthly Total Mortgage data in each province and Quarterly Gross Domestic Product data in Spain. The information obtained using wavelet analysis leads us to propose two different classifications for the fifty-two Spanish provinces. First, we use the wavelet coherency level between two...

Problem statement: A common way to define and measure coupling is through structural properties and static code analysis. However, because of polymorphism, dynamic binding and the common presence of unused code in commercial software, the resulting coupling measures are imprecise as they do not perfectly reflect the actual coupling taking place among classes at run-time. For example, when using...

By continuously varying the structure of graphene oxide paper (PRGP) using Joule heating annealing, we are able to tune its electrical conductivity (?) and thermal diffusivity (?) in a very wide range: more than three orders magnitude for ? (186–503009 S/m) 10-fold ? (8.31 × 10?7 m2/s 9.31 10?6 m2/s). Excellent coherency-linear relationship between is discovered although they sustained by diffe...

Internet of things (IoT) devices are becoming increasingly popular thanks to many new services and applications they offer. However, in addition their benefits, raise privacy concerns since share fine-grained time-series user data with untrusted third parties. In this work, we study the privacy-utility trade-off (PUT) sharing. Existing approaches PUT mainly focus on a single point; however, tem...

Our research focuses on developing design-oriented analytical tools that enable us to better understand how a network comprising dynamic and static elements behaves when it is set in oscillatory motion, and how the interconnection topology relates to the spectral properties of the system. Such oscillatory networks are ubiquitous, extending from miniature electronic circuits to large-scale power...
