customer service level is of prime importance in today competitive world and has various dimensions with delivery quality being one of the most important ones. delivery quality has several parameters such as deliver time window options, time window size, etc. in this paper we focus on one of these parameters, namely time window setting. it has a direct impact upon customer satisfaction and busi...

Although neglect has been demonstrated in the horizontal, vertical, and radial planes of space and has been attributed to sensory-attentional, motor-intentional, and representational deficits, motor intentional neglect in the radial plane has not been previously described. A patient who had a right parietal infarct was tested with a modified cancellation task that uses a fixed window, thereby c...

objective(s): use of a positron emission tomography (pet)/single-photonemission computed tomography (spect) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) andtechnetium (99mtc)-tetrofosmin. however, 18f has a short half-life, and 511kev compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mtc energy window.therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...

We have developed a new method of crosstalk correction in simultaneous dual-isotope imaging with Tl-201 and I-123 by using crosstalk ratios and a blurring filter. Single isotope myocardial studies (10 for Tl-201 and 7 for I-123) were performed with a dual energy window acquisition mode and two low energy general-purpose collimators. Then two planar images acquired with dual energy windows for a...

In this paper, we propose a novel method to optimize translation candidate lists derived from window-based approach for the task of bilingual lexicon extraction. The optimizing process consists of two cross-comparisons between 1 translation candidate of each target word, and between set of all the 1 candidates and that of each word’s 2 to N ones. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed...

In order to improve the prediction accuracy of chaotic time series, a chaotic time series forecasting method based on online weighted least squares support vector machine regression (WLS-SVM) is proposed. In this method, a sliding time window is built and data in the sliding time window are employed to construct the dynamic model of a system. The model of the system is refreshed on-line with th...

In wireless cellular communications, accurate local mean (shadow) power estimation performed at a mobile station is important for use in power control, handoff, and adaptive transmission. Window-based weighted sample average shadow power estimators are commonly used due to their simplicity. In practice, the performance of these estimators degrades severely when the window size deviates beyond a...
