Recently, a fast spatial combinative lifting algorithm (SCLA) for performing the wavelet transform (WT) was presented by Meng and Wang, and the SCLA speeds up the well-known lifting scheme presented by Daubechies and Sweldens. Employing the concept in the block-based WT by Bao and Kuo, this letter presents an e cient cache-based SCLA (CSCLA) for performing the WT. Theoretically, the number of t...

A hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) framework, namely “criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation-combinative distance-based assessment” (CRITIC-CODAS) is introduced to rank automotive brake friction composite materials based on their physical and tribological properties. The ranking analysis was performed ten material alternatives that contained varying proportions (5% 10...

The negative effects of goods flows realisation are most visible in urban areas as the places greatest concentration economic and social activities. main goals this article were to identify applicable Industry 4.0 technologies for performing various city logistics (CL) operations, establish smart sustainable CL solutions (SSCL) rank them order those which will serve base points future plans str...

The Control theory provides a useful theoretical foundation for examining the coordination between the client and the vendor in information systems development outsourcing (ISD-outsourcing). Recent research has identified two control mechanisms: structural (structure of the control mode) and process (the process through which the control mode is enacted). Yet, control theory research to-date do...

In this paper, we propose a reliability approach in which feared events define reliability requirements and taking them into account allows to design systems which will be able to avoid the drift towards a feared state. The description of feared scenarios since the system design phase enables us to understand the reasons of the feared behavior in order to envisage the necessary reconfigurations...

The abundant information available in hyperspectral image has provided important opportunities for land-cover classification and recognition. However, “Curse of dimensionality” and small training sample set are two difficulties which hinder the improvement of computational efficiency and classification precision. In this paper, we present a co-training based method on hyperspectral image classi...

Functional design is a process includes function understanding, function recognition, function representation, function modeling and functionto-structure mapping. The effect in TRIZ is extended by multi-pole effect model and effect chain modes, and then the functions and flows in TRIZ are reclassified. The combinative relationships among functions are discussed, and the function modeling based ...

Compared with conventional weighted voting methods, class-specific soft voting (CSSV) system has several advantages. On one hand, it not only deals with the soft class probability outputs but also refines the weights from classifiers to classes. On the other hand, the class-specific weights can be used to improve the combinative performance without increasing much computational load. This paper...
