In this paper an analytical model is presented in order to capture multimedia traffic characteristics. Multimedia source is modeled by a Switched Batch Bernoulli Process (SBBP) model and traffic characteristics are evaluated in terms of autoand cross correlation functions and IDI of the multimedia conference data flow. Finally, the model is applied to calculate the probability density function ...

We present an approach to integrate multiple fMRI datasets in the context of predictive fMRI data analysis. The approach utilizes canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to find common dimensions among the different datasets, and it does not require that the multiple fMRI datasets be spatially normalized. We apply the approach to the task of predicting brain activations for unseen concrete-noun wo...

Analyzing spatial-temporal characteristics of traffic in large-scale networks requires both a suitable analysis method and a means to reduce the amount of data that must be collected. Of particular interest would be techniques that reduce the amount of data needed, while simultaneously retaining the ability to monitor spatial-temporal behavior network-wide. In this paper, we propose such a meth...

Motivated from problems in canonical correlation analysis, reduced rank regression and sufficient dimension reduction, we introduce a double dimension reduction model where a single index of the multivariate response is linked to the multivariate covariate through a single index of these covariates, hence the name double single index model. Since nonlinear association between two sets of multiv...

We demonstrate a novel approach to obtain a resonance linewidth below the transit limit. The cross correlation between the induced intensity modulation of two lasers coupling the target resonance exhibits a narrow spectrum. 1/30 of the transit-limited width is achieved in a proof-of-principle experiment where two ground states are the target resonance levels. Attainable linewidth is only limite...

the writers of this research have studied seven variables including: precipitation, relative humidity, sunny hours, temperature average, temperature minimum, temperature maximum and sea level pressure, at sanandaj air station during 1964-1994. sanandaj air station has nearly 10966 days of complete data for these variables. a principal component analysis (pca) has been applied on this data; then...

crested wheatgrass (agropyron cristatum (l.) gaertner.) is a potential source of low-maintenance turf species for use in areas with less water. the main goal of this study was to evaluate turf quality characteristics of 24 crested wheatgrass specimens collected from different locations of iran as low-maintenance turfgrass. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 3 re...

abstract salinity is one of the major abiotic challenges influencing plant productivity worldwide. to examine the response of two alfalfa cultivars (bami and hamedani) to six levels of water salinity (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mm l-1 nacl), a glasshouse experiment was conducted at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran in 2008. the results showed that in bami (which appeared...
