Recent research investigations have reported the benefit of enhancing conventional AFM-based nanoscale machining operations by introduction high frequency vibrations between AFM tip and processed material. The technique relies on piezoelectric actuation is relatively straight forward to implement in practice. However, non-linearity actuators when operated under electric field conditions can aff...

Ensemble learning aims at combining several slightly different learners to construct stronger learner. Ensemble of a well selected subset of learners would outperform than ensemble of all. However, the well studied accuracy / diversity ensemble pruning framework would lead to over fit of training data, which results a target learner of relatively low generalization ability. We propose to ensemb...

The behavior and performance of MPI non-blocking message passing operations are sensitive to implementation specifics as they are heavily dependant on available system level buffers. In this paper we investigate the behavior of non-blocking communication primitives provided by popular MPI implementations and propose strategies for these primitives than can reduce processor synchronization overh...

Aspect Oriented Programming is a new programming technique. This technique reduces the number of points where crosscutting, for instance logging, code has to be placed to a single point. This code, called advices, is later placed at the places where the programmer wants it, the join points. The placing of this code is done automatically and can therefore be dependant on the program, a weaver, w...

Television viewing is the most frequent cause of photogenic attacks in daily life. In the present study, we examined 48 photosensitive children and adolescents to find out: 1) whether hypersynchronous activity is induced less often by viewing a PC monitor than a television screen and 2) whether certain images are more likely to cause hypersynchronous activity than others. All subjects were test...
