Gearbox is a very complex mechanical system that can generate vibrations from its various elements such as gears, shafts, and bearings. Transmission path effect, signal coupling, and noise contamination can further induce difficulties to the development of diagnostic system for a gearbox. This paper introduces a novel information reconstruction approach to clustering and diagnosis of gearbox si...

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) perform an important role in the provision of network security, providing realtime notification of attacks in progress. One promising category of IDS attempts to incorporate into its design properties found in the natural immune system. Although previous attempts to apply immunology to intrusion detection have considered the issue of accuracy, more work still n...

DM[S-8,504~359 and DOE grant Connecting viewa.is one of the techniques for the exploration of multivariate data. In this paper I review painting as a technique for connecting views. I then describe the odds plot, a new graphical display to be used in conjunction with painting. It is designed to emphasize associations between views. Permutation tests offer a way of assessing whether an observed ...

Migraine frequently co-occurs with depression. Using a large sample of Australian twin pairs, we aimed to characterize the extent to which shared genetic factors underlie these two disorders. Migraine was classified using three diagnostic measures, including self-reported migraine, the ID migraine™ screening tool, or migraine without aura (MO) and migraine with aura (MA) based on International ...

The famous Sklar’s theorem (see [54]) allows to build multivariate distributions using a copula and marginal distributions. For the basic theory on copulas see the first chapter ([14]) or the books on copulas by Joe ([32]) and Nelson ([51]). Much emphasis has been put on the bivariate case and in [32] and [51] many examples of bivariate copula families are given. However the class of multivaria...

Epilepsy demands a major burden at global levels. Worldwide, about 1% of people suffer epilepsy and 30% of them (0.3%) are anticonvulsants resistant. Among them, some children epilepsies are peculiarly difficult to deal with as Doose syndrome (DS). Doose syndrome is a very complicated type of children cryptogenic refractory epilepsy (CCRE) which is traditionally studied by analysis of complex e...

This paper examined various factors affecting linking accuracy of the augmented tests containing both common assessments and state-specific item sets in the context of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Linking was conducted using the common-item nonequivalent groups design with pseudo and simulated data. The factors included group ability differences, differential effect sizes, latent-tra...

The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic associations between a range of carcass-related traits including wholesale cut weights predicted from video image analysis (VIA) technology, and a range of pre-slaughter performance traits in commercial Irish cattle. Predicted carcass cut weights comprised of cut weights based on retail value: lower value cuts (LVC), medium value cuts (MVC...

Let p be an odd prime and n = 2m with p ≡ 1 (mod 4). In this paper, the cross-correlation distribution between two decimated sequences of a p-ary m-sequence, s(2t+ i) with i ∈ {0, 1} and s(d′t) with d′ = 2d, d = ( p +1 2 ) is determined.
