1.1. Steve Gelbart, Whittaker models and the metaplectic group. The metaplectic double cover of Sp(2r) and the Weil representation were introduced by Weil [37] in order to formulate results of Siegel on theta functions in the adelic setting. This was followed by two initially independent developments. First, Shimura [32], [33] gave two extremely important constructions involving modular forms o...

In this paper we present an approach that enables visually impaired people to explore multivariate data through scatter plots. Our approach combines Tangible Active Objects (TAOs) [1] and Interactive Sonification [2] into a non-visual multi-modal data exploration interface and thereby translates the visual experience of scatter plots into the audio-haptic domain. Our system and the developed so...

One problem of individual tree detection on aerial images or on raster canopy height models is handling of tree crowns of different sizes. On laser scanner data one size attribute, height, is directly available. This gives possibilities to develop processing methods that adapt to the object size. In this study, three adaptive methods were developed and tested for individual tree detection on ca...

This paper mainly discusses the thermal behavior and performance of Lithium-ion batteries utilized in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) based on numerical simulations. In this work, the battery’s thermal behavior is investigated at different C-rates and also contour plots of phase potential for both tabs and volume-mo...
