This paper follows on from a group of internationally published papers in the area of investigating anthropomorphic user interface feedback. In this paper an experiment is described which aims to examine the effectiveness and user approval issues of anthropomorphic versus non-anthropomorphic user interface feedback. This experiment is highly relevant to the research community as Computer Scient...

Changes in the quality of feedstocks generated by involving various petroleum fractions catalytic cracking significantly affect catalyst deactivation, which stems from coke formed on surface. By conducting experimental studies and catalysts, as well using industrial data, we studied how content saturates, aromatics resins (SAR) feedstock main process variables, including temperature, consumptio...

The maximization through signal design of the symmetric capacity of CDMA systems with optimal and minimum mean-square error decision feedback (MMSE-DF) decoding is considered. In particular, lower bounds on maximum symmetric capacity (and the signal set that achieves them) are derived for the two decoders. A common sufficient condition is obtained for both decoders under which the signal design...

Résumé. Les Dépendances Fonctionnelles Conditionnelles (DFC) ont été introduites en 2007 pour le nettoyage des données. Elles peuvent être considérées comme une unification de Dépendances Fonctionnelles (DF) classiques et de Règles d’Association (RA) puisqu’elles permettent de spécifier des dépendances mixant des attributs et des couples de la forme attribut/valeur. Dans cet article, nous trait...

This paper focuses on the selection of matching areas in gravity-aided inertial navigation system. Firstly, Sobel operator was used convolution gravity anomaly map to obtain feature map. The slope parameters were constructed by combining and characteristic parameters, such as difference between rows columns, variance map, pooling difference, range combined. Based support vector machine algorith...

We define a quantitative semantics for evaluating the strength of arguments in Bipolar Argumentation frameworks (BAFs) by adapting the DiscontinuityFree QuAD (DF-QuAD) algorithm previously used for evaluating the strength of arguments in Quantitative Argumentation Debates (QuAD) frameworks. We study the relationship between the new semantics and some existing semantics for other argumentation f...
