Semi-analytic inversions of remotely-sensed reflectance have been available since 1995 (Roesler and Perry, 1995). However, a procedure that provides an uncertainty of the inverted parameter for each individual spectrum based on uncertainties in the remote-sensing data and the model has only recently been devised (Wang et al., 2005). We use the same model philosophy as in Wang et al. (2005) with...

Consciousness is the sense of self and the sign of life in natural intelligence. One of the profound myths in cognitive informatics, psychology, brain science, and computational intelligence is how consciousness is generated by physiological organs and neural networks in the bran. This paper presents a formal model and a cognitive process of consciousness in order to explain how abstract consci...

Aperiodic tilings with a small number of prototiles are of particular interest, both theoretically and for applications in crystallography. In this direction, many people have tried to construct aperiodic tilings that are built from a single prototile with nearest neighbour matching rules, which is then called a monotile. One strand of the search for a planar monotile has focussed on hexagonal ...

The aim of this paper is to collect definitions and results on the main classes of 2D languages introduced with the attempt of generalizing regular and context-free string languages and in same time preserving some of their nice properties. Almost all the models here described are based on tiles. So we also summarize some results on Wang tiles and its applications.
