Skew refers to the text which is neither parallel nor at right angles to a specified or implied line.Even a smallest skew occurring in a document image results in the failure of segmentation of characters from words or text lines.It is therefore essential to detect and correct the skew at the preprocessing stage so that the perturbation of skew can be avoided for further processing. In this pap...

The Dissertation is focused on the studies of associations between functional elements in human genome and their nucleotide structure. The asymmetry in nucleotide content (skew, bias) was chosen as the main feature for nucleotide structure. A significant difference in nucleotide content asymmetry was found for human exons vs. introns. Specifically, exon sequences display bias for purines (i.e.,...

We present ‘Reverse Skew-T’, a tool that allows users to direct a physically inspired simulation of layered clouds. To achieve this, we extend existing models for cloud simulation and provide a graphical user interface for providing important simulation parameters to our system.

Mixture of Experts (MoE) is a popular framework in the fields of statistics and machine learning for modeling heterogeneity in data for regression, classification and clustering. MoE for continuous data are usually based on the normal distribution. However, it is known that for data with asymmetric behavior, heavy tails and atypical observations, the use of the normal distribution is unsuitable...

A class of multivariate extended skew-t (E ST ) distributions is introduced and studied in detail, along with closely related families such as the subclass of extended skew-normal distributions. Besides mathematical tractability and modeling flexibility in terms of both skewness and heavier tails than the normal distribution, the most relevant properties of the E ST distribution include closure...

In this note we discuss conditions under which a linear connection on a manifold equipped with both a symmetric (Riemannian) and a skew-symmetric (almost-symplectic or Poisson) tensor field will preserve both structures. If (M, g) is a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold, then classical results due to T. Levi-Civita, H. Weyl and E. Cartan [7] show that for any (1, 2) tensor field T i jk which is skew-...

In this paper, we study skew cyclic and skew constacyclic codes over the ring R = Fq + uFq + vFq + uvFq where q = p^m; p is an odd prime, u^2 = u; v^2 = v; uv = vu. We show that Gray image of a skew cyclic code of length n is a skew quasi-cyclic code of length 4n over Fq of index 4. We also study the structural properties of skew cyclic and skew constacyclic codes over R. Further, generating po...

let $d$ be a digraph with skew-adjacency matrix $s(d)$. then the skew energyof $d$ is defined to be the sum of the norms of all eigenvalues of $s(d)$. denote by$mathcal{o}_n$ the class of digraphs on order $n$ with no even cycles, and by$mathcal{o}_{n,m}$ the class of digraphs in $mathcal{o}_n$ with $m$ arcs.in this paper, we first give the minimal skew energy digraphs in$mathcal{o}_n$ and $mat...
