Computing Occupancy grids with LiDAR data, is a popular strategy for environment representation. In the last two decades, several authors have proposed different methods to render sensed information into grids, seeking obtain computational efficiency or accurate modeling. However, no comparison regarding their performance under object detection in autonomous driving applications has been found ...

Although various feature extraction algorithms have been developed for time series data, it is still challenging to obtain a flat vector representation with incorporating both of time-wise and variable-wise association between multiple series. Here we develop an algorithm, called Unsupervised Feature Extraction using Kernel Stacking (UFEKS), that constructs in unsupervised manner. UFEKS kernel ...

We report results concerning the functionalization of graphene-based nanoplatelets for improving thermal energy storage capacity commonly used phase change materials (PCMs). The goal this study was to enhance low conductivity PCMs, while preserving their specific and latent heats. focused on wax-based we tested several types graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) at a set different concentrations. Both ...

In the context of correlated multiple tests, we aim at controlling non-asymptotically the family-wise error rate (FWER) using resampling-type procedures. We observe repeated realizations of a Gaussian random vector in possibly high dimension and with an unknown covariance matrix, and consider the one and two-sided multiple testing problem for the mean values of its coordinates. We address this ...

Mass univariate analysis is a relatively new approach for the study of ERPs/ERFs. It consists of many statistical tests and one of several powerful corrections for multiple comparisons. Multiple comparison corrections differ in their power and permissiveness. Moreover, some methods are not guaranteed to work or may be overly sensitive to uninteresting deviations from the null hypothesis. Here w...

A comparison is made between the most commonly used decision-making method (AHP), and two methods developed by the authors (APM and CSM). It is shown that the newly developed methods do not change the correlations and types of inequalities between the global priorities of the alternatives when the number of alternatives changes. This differentiates them from the AHP, which does change them. Als...

column); and 3) a statically with slice-wise shim setting (sw stat, 4 column), for comparison with the slice-wise dynamic shim. An anatomical image (ANA, 1 column) is shown for comparison. Figure 2: Resting-state fMRI activations projected on the sagittal (a) and transversal (b) unprocessed EPIs, acquired with a slice-wise dynamic updated B0 shim with a dynamic F0 determination. 5204 Resting-St...
