We discuss and test the potential usefulness of single-column models (SCMs) for the testing of stochastic physics schemes that have been proposed for use in general circulation models (GCMs). We argue that although single column tests cannot be definitive in exposing the full behaviour of a stochastic method in the full GCM, and although there are differences between SCM testing of deterministi...

The paper introduces a new simulation tool called Soil Contact Model (SCM) that has been recently developed at DLR’s Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. SCM provides an interface between the classical terramechanics theory of Bekker and the capabilities of multi-body system (MBS) simulation technique for general, full 3D simulations of soil contact dynamics problems. Beyond the computation ...

A metainformatics symposium provides an excellent opportunity to explore, discuss and investigate how configuration management techniques and principles can be expanded into new fields and how it itself can incorporate techniques from other fields. 1. Software Configuration Management For a long time Software Configuration Management (SCM) has been considered an important part of software engin...

In this correspondence, it is given a correction to Theorem 4 in Y. Hu, and G. Xiao, “Generalized Self-Shrinking Generator,” IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, vol. 50, No. 4, pp. 714-719, April 2004.

In 2004, Y. Hu and G. Xiao introduced the generalized self-shrinking generator, a simple bit-stream generator considered as a specialization of the shrinking generator as well as a generalization of the self-shrinking generator. The authors conjectured that the family of generalized self-shrinking sequences took their least periods in the set {1, 2, 2}, where L is the length of the Linear Feedb...

in the present study, the effect of core on shear lag phenomenon in tubular structures is investigated. three different tubular structure models including model without core, model with central core and model with central core but eliminated in last 15 stories have been analyzed. a shear lag index is defined for evaluating these models. from examination of the results, the effective influence o...

Supply chain management (SCM) has recently attracted significant interests from academics and industry. Along with the growing concern of implementing supply chain management in many enterprises, there has been a proliferation of two kinds of software solutions, business-to-business (B2B) and supply chain management (SCM), which aim at improving the performance of supply chain. The first part o...

We introduce an approach to feature-based object recognition, using maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation under a Markov random field (MRF) model. This approach provides an efficient solution for a wide class of priors that explicitly model dependencies between individual features of an object. These priors capture phenomena such as the fact that unmatched features due to partial occlusion are ...
