Some years ago, Harth et al. experimentally explored the steady state dynamics of a heated granular gas rod-like particles in microgravity [K. Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 , 144102 (2013)]. Here, we report numerical results that quantitatively reproduce their experimental findings and provide additional insight into process. A system sphero-cylinders is by vibration three flat side walls, resulting one...

Nearest neighbor and instance-based learning techniques typically handle continuous and linear input values well, but often do not handle symbolic input attributes appropriately. The Value Difference Metric (VDM) was designed to find reasonable distance values between symbolic attribute values, but it largely ignores continuous attributes, using discretization to map continuous values into symb...

This paper describes our current study in the development of collaborative design environment which considers ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and architectural space. Our study group has been developing a computerized prototype environment for collaboration, which attempts to support synchronous design collaboration in a continuously connected project-room at distributing sites. ...

We demonstrate that multiple topological transitions that occur, with high-sensitivity, by continuous change in geometry of a simple 2D dielectric-frame photonic crystal consisting of circular air-holes. These transitions are characterized by the switch between the frequencies of the pand d-orbital Bloch modes encompassing the photonic band gap (PBG). By tuning the radii of the holes and/or the...

Experiments on continuously sheared granular materials (glass spheres) with diameters 1.0 # d # 5 mm show large fluctuations in the normal stress, sstd. Experiments are carried out in an annular Couette geometry for rotation rates 0.003 , Ù u , 1 radys. Power spectra from sstd, Psvd, show rate invariance in the fluctuations: Ù uPsvd is a function only of vy Ù u, independent of Ù u. Ù uPsvd depe...

This study is based on an extension of the concept of joint entropy of two random variables to continuous functions, such as backscattered ultrasound. For two continuous random variables, X and Y, the joint probability density p(x,y) is ordinarily a continuous function of x and y that takes on values in a two dimensional region of the real plane. However, in the case where X=f(t) and Y=g(t) are...

This paper introduces an extension to undirected graphical models of the classical continuous time Markov chains. This model can be used to solve a transductive or unsupervised multi-class classification problem at each point of a network defined as a set of nodes connected by segments of different lengths. The classification is performed not only at the nodes, but at every point of the edge co...

Hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) is the only major hormone deficiency disease that is not usually treated with the missing hormone. Bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been purified and used as experimental treatment, as long back as in 1928 by Fuller Albright. Treatment, however, was abolished mainly because of antibody formation and costs. The recent approval of fully humanized truncated parathyr...
