Many real-world networks lend themselves to the use of graphs for analysing and modelling their structure. But such a simple representation has proven to miss some important and non trivial properties hidden in the bipartite structure of the networks. Recent papers have shown that overlapping properties seem to be present in bipartite networks and that it could explain better the properties obs...

Training of support vector machines (SVMs) amounts to solving a quadratic programming problem over the training data. We present a simple on-line SVM training algorithm of complexity approximately linear in the number of training vectors, and linear in the number of support vectors. The algorithm implements an on-line variant of sequential minimum optimization (SMO) that avoids the need for adj...

Abstract: In real aperture imaging, the limited azimuth angular resolution seriously restricts the applications of this imaging system. This report presents a maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach based on the Bayesian framework for high angular resolution of real aperture radar. First, Rayleigh statistic and the lq norm (for 0 < q ≤ 1) sparse constraint are considered to express the clutter prop...

In this study,we analyze the network effect in amodel of a personal communicationmarket, by using amulti-agent based simulation approach.We introduce into the simulationmodel complex network structures as the interaction patterns of agents. With complex network models,we investigate the dynamics of amarket inwhich twoproviders are competing.We also examine the structure of networks that affect ...

The expected number of real zeros of an algebraic polynomial ao a1x a2x · · · anx with random coefficient aj , j 0, 1, 2, . . . , n is known. The distribution of the coefficients is often assumed to be identical albeit allowed to have different classes of distributions. For the nonidentical case, there has been much interest where the variance of the jth coefficient is var aj ( n j ) . It is sh...

We study eigenfrequencies and propagator expansions for damped wave equations on compact manifolds. In the strongly damped case, the propagator is shown to admit an expansion in terms of the finitely many eigenmodes near the real axis, with an error exponentially decaying in time. In the presence of an elliptic closed geodesic not meeting the support of the damping coefficient, we show that the...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a physically plausible solution based on hybrid bounding volume (BV) hierarchy for real-time collision detection (CD) and response between a deformable and a rigid object. Design/methodology/approach – Hybrid BV can be used to build BV hierarchy for the deformable object. The overlapping tests based on separating axis theorem (SAT) can be used t...

An approach based on immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and SYBR Green I real-time PCR (real-time PCR) with species-specific primers and melting curve analysis was proposed as a rapid and effective method for detecting Alicyclobacillus spp. in fruit juices. Specific primers targeting the 16S rDNA sequences of Alicyclobacillus spp. were designed and then confirmed by the amplification of DNA extrac...
