This paper looks at a data set, called the SHARE 2010 collect, that has been designed to analyze the various impacts of illumination change on materials. Similar fabric materials were placed on different backgrounds where spectral signatures were analyzed to determined impacts of background adjacency. Hyperspectral, multispectral, and LiDAR modalities were used to image the panels in the above ...

A 2 X = C 2 , respectively. As applications, we present necessary and sufficient condition for the previous matrix function f(X, Y) to be positive (negative), non-negative (positive) definite or nonsingular. We also characterize the relations between the Hermitian part of the solutions of the above-mentioned matrix equations. Furthermore, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the...

In recent times the cost of mobile communication has dropped significantly leading to a dramatic increase in mobile phone usage. The widespread usage has led mobiles to emerge as a strong alternative for other applications one of which is tracking. This has enabled law-enforcing agencies to detect overspeeding vehicles and organizations to keep track its employees. The 3 major ways of tracking ...

The analogy between combinatorial optimization and statistical mechanics has proven to be a fruitful object of study. Simulated annealing, a metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems, is based on this analogy. In this paper we use the statistical mechanics formalism based on the above mentioned analogy to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a special class of combinatorial optimizati...

In this paper, a dynamical multiple criteria model of integrated adaptive planning and scheduling for complex technical – organizational system (CTOS) is presented. Various types of CTOS are used nowadays, for example: virtual enterprises, supply chains, telecommunication systems, etc. Hereafter, we mostly interpret CTOS as the systems of the above-mentioned types. The above-mentioned CTOS pecu...

abstract to resist lateral loads in concrete buildings, usually systems such as flexural frame, shear wall or their combinations are used. using x form of cable bracing in order to strengthen concrete buildings is a new method. this system is more economical compared with the other systems due to cables low weight, high tensile resistance, easy performance and less maintenance problems. in this...

the knowledge of bygone times of a nation and the discovery of the way through which their thought and culture and civilization developed throughout ages, are of great important for the next generations of that nation and their success in future ways of development. unquestionably, the literary works contain the greatest part of the cultural and mental products and legacy of a nation and deserv...

Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetics and is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in such patients. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the three criteria of ATPIII, IDF and the new criteria for metabolic syndrome diagnosis in Kerman, Iran. This cross-sectional study was performed on 950 diabetic type 2 patien...
