A key element for successful tracking is knowing from which target each measurement originates. These measurement-to-target associations are generally unavailable, and the tracking problem becomes one of estimating both the assignments and the target states. We present the Probabilistic Least Squares Tracking (msPLST) algorithm for estimating the measurement-to-target assignments and the track ...

Evaluating open-response assignments in Massive Open Online Courses is a difficult task because of the huge number of students involved. Peer grading is an effective method to address this problem. There are two basic approaches in the literature: cardinal and ordinal. The first case uses grades assigned by student-graders to a set of assignments of other colleagues. In the ordinal approach, th...

A general property of the high-resolution proton NMR spectra of oligosaccharides is the appearance of low-field well-resolved resonances corresponding to the anomeric (H1) and H2 protons. The remaining skeletal protons resonate in the region 3-4 ppm, giving rise to an envelope of poorly resolved resonances. Assignments can be made from the H1 and H2 protons to their J-coupled neighbors (H2 and ...

We introduce the NP-complete problem 3SATN and extend Tovey’s results to a classification theorem for this problem. This classification theorem leads us to generalize the concept of truth assignments for SAT to aggressive truth assignments for 3SATN . All these aggressive truth assignments are pseudo-algorithms. We combine algorithm, pseudo-algorithm and diagonalization method to study the comp...

All methods proposed to date for mapping landmark configurations on a phylogenetic tree start from an alignment generated by methods that make no use of phylogenetic information, usually by superimposing all configurations against a consensus configuration. In order to properly interpret differences between landmark configurations along the tree as changes in shape, the metric chosen to define ...

there is not adequate information available about traditional instruction system in the field of visual arts in the pre-modern period. instruction of calligraphy can be considered as traditional instruction of art in a way that its guidelines and instructional texts are remained almost intact. instruction of calligraphy is implemented in aprofessor-student procedure and is accompanied with vari...

In this paper, we address the timing semantics of the delay models handled by VHDL. A formal model is used to characterize the runtime work required to resolve multiple assignments to signals for each of these models. Subsets of these timing models which require minimal work at runtime for resolution of multiple assignments are identified. Algorithms for generation of efficient code for simulat...

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...
