Sensitivity analysis of Fourier Transformation Spectrometer: FTS against observation noise on retrievals of carbon dioxide and methane is conducted. Through experiments with real observed data and additive noise, it is found that the allowable noise on FTS observation data is less than 2.1x10 if estimation accuracy of total column carbon dioxide and methane is better than 1(%). Keywords-FTS; ca...

The expected number of unacceptable patient results due to an undetected, malfunction--E(Nu)--can be set as a patient-based quality goal. Using the number of patients tested between QC specimens as a design parameter allows one to design QC strategies that meet specified patient-based quality goals. The QC utilization rate can be minimized in a QC design for a given E(Nu). The QC-utilization ra...

Hybrid ARQ with Rate Compatible Punctured Turbo (RCPT) code achieves the highest throughput when minimum amount of redundancy bits is transmitted with each retransmission given that the allowable number of retransmissions is unlimited. However in a practical system, the number of retransmissions allowed is limited. In this paper we analyze the signal energy per information bit required for a gi...

This paper describes a learning system, OMLET, which helps to automate the construction of function-based object recognition systems. OMLET is designed to learn fuzzy membership functions which approximate the allowable ranges of physical dimensions such as width, area, relative orientation, etc. The learning is done by iterative error reduction on a set of labeled training examples. Results fr...

A simple analysis is given of the behavior of a set-point control system consisting of a poorly modelled process, an integrator and a multi-controller supervised by an estimator-based algorithm employing dwell-time switching. For a slowly switched multi-controller implementation of a compact continuum of finite-dimensional linear controllers, bounds are derived for the normed-value of the proce...

administrative regulations for water flow decrease distribution efficiency and effect the economical operation of irrigation networks. complications in distribution systems and the decrease in availability of water require study of the hydraulic performance of existing flow control structures. control systems designed by neyrpic (zayandeh rud network) and usbr (doroodzan network) were investiga...

Swordfish (Xiphias gladius L., 1758) is an apex predator, highly migratory meso-pelagic fish widely distributed in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean. As top predators, this fish may be the end reservoir of the bioaccumulation of trace elements in a food chain because they occupy higher trophic levels and are an important food source, causing them to be potentially hazardous to consume. This ...

The measurement of vortex flows with particle-image velocimetry (PIV) is particularly susceptible to error arising from the finite mass of the tracer particles, owing to the high velocities and accelerations typically experienced. A classical model of Stokes-flow particle transport is adopted, and an approximate solution for the case of particle transport within an axisymmetric, quasi-two-dimen...

And to provide a reference for accurate interpretation analysis report. Method: Usually, ICU...

Firewood can serve as a vector in the transport of non-native species, including wood-boring insects that feed within the wood and thus can be transported accidentally. Governments have enacted limitations on the movement of firewood in an effort to limit the anthropogenic movement of non-native species through, for example, recreational camping. Although the movement of invasive species throug...
