The comparison between stored information identifications and requests for information is one of the principal tasks to be performed in automatic information retrieval. In so-called descriptor systems, where information is represented by sets of independent key words, this operation is relatively simple, sInce it consists of a comparison between the respective "vertors" of key words. In many re...

Generators of structure editing-based programming environments require some form of unparse specification language with which an implementor can describe mappings between objects in the programming environment and concrete, visual representations of them. They must also provide an unparser to execute those mappings in a running programming environment. We descr ibe one such unparse specificatio...

Installation dynamics, optimal thruster propulsion, and specific impulse thrust for reignitable fuel motors to regulate pointing error is obtained for geosynchronous (e.g., the Indian National Satellite, INSAT–1B), and sunsynchronous (e.g., the Indian Earth Resource Satellite, IRS–1) satellites parked in transfer orbits. Filter dynamics for slow and fast terrestrial system are obtained. Design ...

sensitivity analysis with respect to the functional forms provides estimates of the uncertainties involved in choosing a specific functional structure. this is vital in cge modeling where it is conventional to take elasticities from other studies. in the present study, the robustness of model results with respect to the functional form is checked. in one scenario, the production function is rep...

The simplification of fabrication processes that can define very fine patterns for large-area flexible radio-frequency (RF) applications is very desirable because it is generally very challenging to realize submicron scale patterns on flexible substrates. Conventional nanoscale patterning methods, such as e-beam lithography, cannot be easily applied to such applications. On the other hand, rece...

Due to the theoretical advances and empirical successes, Multi-task Learning (MTL) has become a popular design paradigm for training a set of tasks jointly. Through exploring the hidden relationships among multiple tasks, many MTL algorithms have been developed to enhance learning performance. In general, the complicated hidden relationships can be considered as a combination of two key structu...
