Image stitching is used to integrate information from multiple images with overlapping fields of view in order to produce a panoramic view with all the contents fitted into a single frame.Image stitching literature shows that image stitching is still a challenging problem for single and panoramic images. In recent years many algorithms have been proposed widely to tackle image stitching problem...

A rather technical description of some of the active areas of research in modern real-variable harmonic analysis, and some of the techniques being developed. Note: references are completely missing; I may update this

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based DSS for stock market. This system will help investors of the stock market to take the correct buy/sell/hold decisions. The results obtained from the proposed fuzzy logic model were satisfactory. A fuzzy tuning methodology was introduced to enhance the accuracy of the decisions. The tuning methodology which uses genetic algorithms is presented also in this...

Using WAN established infrastructure, one of the main problems ATM network planners and users face, when greater than T 1=E1 bandwidth is required, is the disproportionate cost associated with T 3=E3 links. The technology to cover the gap between T 1=E1 and T 3=E3 bandwidth at a reasonable cost is known as inverse multiplexing for ATM (IMA). IMA allows multiple T 1=E1 lines to be aggregated to ...

We present a new algorithm for computing upper bounds on the number of executions of each program instruction during any single program run. The upper bounds are expressed as functions of program input values. The algorithm is primarily designed to produce bounds that are relatively tight, i.e. not unnecessarily blown up. The upper bounds for instructions allow us to infer loop bounds, i.e. upp...

Understanding how and why changes propagate during engineering design is critical because most products and systems emerge from predecessors and not through clean sheet design. This paper examines a large data set from industry including 41,500 change requests that were generated during the design of a complex sensor system spanning a period of 8 years. In particular, the networks of connected ...

Deploy fuzzy logic engineering tools in the 0nance arena, speci0cally in the technical analysis 0eld. Since technical analysis theory consists of indicators used by experts to evaluate stock prices, the new proposed method maps these indicators into new inputs that can be fed into a fuzzy logic system. The only required inputs to these indicators are past sequence of stock prices. This method r...

This paper presents an analysis of technical efficiency and technology gap ratio (TGR) in greenhouse cucumber in Fars Province, Iran. Cucumber production was chosen for this study for the reason that greenhouse productions in this provincemainly have focused on this product. The data used in this study was obtained from a random sample of 127 greenhouses in Fars Province for 2010 to 2011. Metaf...

Methods for analyzing data in nonintervention clinical studies are substantially different from those that are appropriate for randomized clinical trials. Although the latter methods are well known, the former are not. A systematic approach for dealing with statistical confounding in nonintervention research has been developed over the past 30 to 40 years, and the essence of this theory constit...
