Many challenging computer vision problems can be formulated as a multilinear model. Classical methods like principal component analysis use singular value decomposition to infer model parameters. Although it can solve a given problem easily if all measurements are known this prerequisite is usually violated for computer vision applications. In the current work, a standard tool to estimate singu...

We have synthesized bulk Mg(B1−xCx)2 from a mixture of elemental Mg, B, and the binary compound B4C. Carbon incorporation was dramatically improved by a two step reaction process at an elevated temperature of 1200 C. This reaction process results in a solubility limit near x∼0.07. We found that impurities in the starting B cause an additive suppression of Tc. We combine these data with Tc and H...

Data produced by a reproducible source contains redundant information which allows seismic inversion to simultaneously determine the high-frequency uctuation in the P-wave velocity (or re ectivity) as well as the input energy source. The seismogram model is the plane-wave convolutional model derived from the constant density, variable sound velocity acoustic wave equation. The rst step is to an...

Model validation is recognised as crucial to microsimulation modelling. However, modellers encounter difficulty in choosing the most meaningful methods to compare simulated and actual values. The aim of this paper is to introduce and demonstrate a method employed widely in healthcare calibration studies. The ‘Bland-Altman plot’ consists of a plot of the difference between two methods against th...

II ABSTRACT Mount Erebus has long been recognized to produce very similar seismic signatures associated with its Strombolian eruptions. decorrelation of the coda, accompanied by relative stability in the early seismogram. Using coda wave interferometry, this decorrelation was interpreted as a median change within the volcano. Closer examination of this data in this thesis shows that clipping du...

With the acceleration development of oilfield exploration and development, higher requirement for the precision of seismic interpretation is needed for that only higher accuracy of horizon calibration can match reservoir within the scope in the work area more effectively with full well to further lay a solid foundation of fine reservoir calibration which guarantee further fine structure interpr...
