currently, a large number of products are being sold with warranty policies. pro-rata warranties are relatively a complex concept. this paper focuses on developing a new pro-rata warranty policy. in this model components of the product are grouped into two disjointed sets, failures of components belonging to set one are covered by prw warranty and those components that belonging to set two are ...

Person search aims to localize and identify a specific person from gallery of images. Recent methods can be categorized into two groups, i.e., two-step end-to-end approaches. The former views as independent tasks achieves dominant results using separately trained detection re-identification (Re-ID) models. latter performs in an fashion. Although the approaches yield higher inference efficiency,...

We consider a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle, or persistent random walk, in the presence of an absorbing boundary located at origin. After each tumbling event, which occurs constant rate $\gamma$, (new) velocity particle is drawn randomly from distribution $W(v)$. study survival probability $S(x,t)$ starting $x \geq 0$ up to time $t$ and obtain explicit expression for its double Laplac...

With the advent of technology man is endeavoring for relevant and optimal results from the web through search engines. Retrieval performance can often be improved using several algorithms and methods. Abundance in web has impelled to exert better search systems. Categorization of the web pages abet fairly in addressing this issue. The anatomy of the web pages, links, categorization of text and ...

This paper proposes a new simulation algorithm for analyzing large power distribution networks, modeled as linear RLC circuits, based on a novel partial random walk concept. The random walk simulation method has been shown to be an efficient way to solve for voltages of small number of nodes in a large power distribution network [2], but the algorithm becomes expensive to solve for voltages of ...

Person search in real-world scenarios is a new challenging computer version task with many meaningful applications. The challenge of this task mainly comes from: (1) unavailable bounding boxes for pedestrians and the model needs to search for the person over the whole gallery images; (2) huge variance of visual appearance of a particular person owing to varying poses, lighting conditions, and o...

MOTIVATION Staining the mRNA of a gene via in situ hybridization (ISH) during the development of a Drosophila melanogaster embryo delivers the detailed spatio-temporal patterns of the gene expression. Many related biological problems such as the detection of co-expressed genes, co-regulated genes and transcription factor binding motifs rely heavily on the analysis of these image patterns. To pr...

It is widely known that land use/land cover (LULC) changes significantly alter watershed hydrology and sediment yields. The impact, especially on erosion sedimentation, likely to be exacerbated in regions dominated by high rainfall patterns such as monsoons. This study analyzed the hydrological responses of LULC terms streamflow (SF) yield (SY) a monsoon-dominated tropical watershed, Periyar Ri...
