This is the User s Guide to the GTM Toolbox a set of Matlab functions and scripts that implements and demonstrates the generative topographic mapping a method for density modelling dimensionality reduction and data visualisation This document gives a brief description of the GTM the content of the toolbox and what is required to use it It describes how to use the toolbox and provides a section ...

Unanticipated and unknown changes in an aircraft’s aerodynamic stability derivatives may cause undesirable effects that render pre-designed control laws unsuitable for maintaining stability. Gradual changes in the stability derivatives may be due to icing on lifting surfaces, whereas structural damage may cause a sudden change. For this study, we use the nonlinear NASA Generic Transport Model (...

PURPOSE To develop a criterion for determining the topographic progression of keratoconus and to analyze the prognostic factors of progression. METHODS Medical records of 211 eyes of 128 patients who had been followed up for more than 2 years on three or more occasions were retrospectively reviewed. Topographic parameters, including simulated K, corneal astigmatism, irregular astigmatism at 3...

In remote sensed data, topographic corrections are very important to overcome the topographic effects such as shadow effects. These topographic effects occurs especially in case of rugged terrain because sun facing slope represents maximum reflectance values and opposite side slope represents minimum reflectance values. These topographic effects leads to an inaccurate classification into differ...

Grounded theory method (GTM) is increasingly used in HCI and CSCW research (Fig. 1 ). GTM offers a rigorous way to explore a domain, with an emphasis on discovering new insights, testing those insights, and building partial understandings into a broader theory of the domain. The strength of the method—as a full method— is the ability to make sense of diverse phenomena, to construct an account o...

An edge network deployment consists of many (tens to a few hundred) satellite data centers. To optimize enduser perceived performance, a Global Traffic Management (GTM) solution needs to continuously monitor the performance between the users and the data centers, in order to dynamically select the “best” data center for each user. Though widely adopted in practice, GTM solutions based on active...

24 Most studies on gravity forward modelling in the spectral domain truncate the gravitational 25 potential spectra at a resolution commensurate with the input topographic mass model. This 26 implicitly assumes spectral consistency between topography and implied topographic potential. 27 Here we demonstrate that a band-limited topographic mass distribution generates gravity signals 28 with spec...
