Updating categorical soil maps is necessary for providing current, higher-quality soil data to agricultural and environmental management but may not require a costly thorough field survey because latest legacy maps may only need limited corrections. This study suggests a Markov chain random field (MCRF) sequential cosimulation (Co-MCSS) method for updating categorical soil maps using limited su...

this paper is devoted to the study of determining optimal process mean in system production with the two markets for the sale of goods. in this paper, we developed an absorbing markov chain model in production systems where all items are inspected %100 for conformance with their specification limits. when the value of the quality characteristic of an item falls below a lower limit, the item is ...

One of the newest of viscoelastic RANS turbulence models for drag reducing channel flow with polymer additives is studied in different flow and rheological properties. In this model, finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) constitutive model is used to describe the viscoelastic effect of polymer solution and turbulence model is developed in the k-ϵ-(ν^2 ) ̅-f framework. The geome...

This paper addresses the influence of the actuator size on the closed loop stability of collocated and non-collocated transfer functions utilized in the structural control of flexible beams. Besides the well known robustness advantages of collocated transfer functions it is shown, that if the actuator is small compared to the flexible structure, a non-collocated actuator/sensor configuration pr...

The ultimate goal of this research is to construct a hybrid model for sound propagation in layered underwater environments with curved boundaries by employing a di↵erential formulation for inhomogeneous layers and a boundary integral formulation for homogeneous layers. The discretization of the new hybrid model is a combination of a finite di↵erence method for the Helmholtz equation for inhomog...

We demonstrate improvements in CALIPSO (Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations) dust extinction retrievals over northern Africa and Europe when corrections are applied regarding the Saharan dust lidar ratio assumption, the separation of the dust portion in detected dust mixtures, and the averaging scheme introduced in the Level 3 CALIPSO product. First, a universal, ...

Meteorological stations usually contain some missing data for different reasons.There are several traditional methods for completing data, among them bivariate and multivariate linear and non-linear correlation analysis, double mass curve, ratio and difference methods, moving average and probability density functions are commonly used. In this paper a blended model comprising the bivariate expo...

Cyber-Physical Systems (smart grids, cities, homes, etc) are composed of computing resources, actuators and sensors, connected through IP networks. These IP networks involve many technologies. In order to help designing and evaluating these systems, we are studying the modeling and simulation of IP networks in this context. Since there is no universal IP simulator proposing a model library corr...

Multiple Bluetooth piconets operating in the globally available 2.4GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band are likely to co-exist in a physical environment, supporting applications such as wireless earphones, keyboards etc. An independently operating Bluetooth piconet will inevitably encounter the interference from collocated piconets, which results in both individual piconet and over...

a parallel hybrid system of hmm and gmm modeling techniques was implemented and used in a telephony speaker verification and identification system. spectral subtraction and weighted projection measure were used to render this system more robust against additional noise. cepstral mean subtraction method was also applied for the compensation of convolution noise due to transmission channel degrad...
