This paper proposes and implements a statistical methodology for adjusting employment data for the effects of deviations in weather from seasonal norms. This is distinct from seasonal adjustment, which controls only for the normal variation in weather across the year. We simultaneously control for both of these effects by integrating a weather adjustment step in the seasonal adjustment process....

In this paper, we propose a new learning method simulation adjusting that adjusts simulation policy to improve the move decisions of the Monte Carlo method. We demonstrated simulation adjusting for 4 × 4 board Go problems. We observed that the rate of correct answers moderately increased.

In this paper we explore two themes in data structure design: amortized computational complexity and self-adjustment. We are motivated by the following observations. In most applications of data structures, we wish to perform not just a single operation but a sequence of operations, possibly having correlated behavior. By averaging the running time per operation over a worst-case sequence of op...

The reactive diffracting trees are known efficient distributed data structures for supporting synchronization. They not only distribute a set of processes to smaller groups accessing different parts of the memory in a global coordinated manner, but also adjust their size in order to attain efficient performance across different levels of contention. However, the existing reactive adjustment pol...

This paper presents a new blind secure video watermarking algorithm using DCT (discrete cosine transform). In this proposed algorithm cover video is divided into frames and watermark is inserted into selected frames. For selected video frames two-dimensional 8×8 discrete cosine transform is carried out on luminance component. Finally binary watermark is embedded into mid frequency DC coefficien...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images are frequently corrupted by Rician noise during image gaining or transmission, which makes them worse than original. With the object to remove noise and lessen the loss of details as low as possible at the same time, we proposed a novel image denoising algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA), Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and Total Variation (TV)...

In this paper a novel blind watermarking technique for color images using DCT has been proposed. Inproposed technique cover image is decomposed into 3 planes, namely R, G, B and for watermarking B plane is selected. B plane is divided into blocks of size 8×8. DCT is applied to each 8×8 sized block and middle frequency coefficients are selected for embedding watermark. Finally binary watermark i...

A simple method is proposed to describe the propagation of electromagnetic waves in magnetized uniform plasma slabs. Using this method, the reflection, absorption and transmission coefficients of such plasmas for right-hand circularly waves are studied and the effects of the continuously changing external magnetic field on the power of the electromagnetic waves propagated in magnetized plasma s...

A meta-analysis of the reliability of the scores from a specific test, also called reliability generalization, allows the quantitative synthesis of its properties from a set of studies. It is usually assumed that part of the variation in the reliability coefficients is due to some unknown and implicit mechanism that restricts and biases the selection of participants in the studies' samples. Som...
