spectral decomposition or time-frequency representation (tfr) is a powerful tool for analyzing time varying nature of seismic data. mapping of a one dimensional seismic time trace to a two dimensional function of time and frequency reveals some characteristics of seismic signals that are not available in only time or frequency representations. this approach has been widely used in seismic explo...

Efficient Run-time Monitoring Using Shadow Processing Harish Patil* and Charles Fischer University of Wisconsin —Madison** Abstract General purpose multiprocessors are becoming increasingly common. We propose using pairs of processors, one running an ordinary application program and the other monitoring the application’s execution. We call the processor doing the monitoring a “shadow processor,...

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the process of massless scalar wave scattering due to a noncommutative black hole with global monopole through partial method. We computed cross section differential and absorption at low frequency limit. also calculated, high limit, shadow radius by null geodesic showed that noncommutativity causes reduction in scattering/absorption radius, while presence...

We analyze optimal protection when a benevolent government must maintain nonnegative domestic profits and when the domestic import-competing firm has private information about its costs. A costly audit mechanism can deter strategic manipulation of this private information. We show that a high-penalty/lowprobability of investigation is optimal when the shadow price of the firm profit is low comp...

Does an assimilative illusion like the Delboeuf illusion occur in the human face? We investigated factors that might influence the perceived size of the eyes in a realistic face. Experiment 1 manipulated the position of the eyebrows (high or low), the presence/absence of eye shadow, and the viewing distance (0.6 m or 5 m), then measured the perceived eye size using a psychophysical method. The ...

Soft shadow with respect to the sun’s position in virtual environments is a fascinating topic in outdoor rendering. A coherent mathematic formula to create shadow with respect to the sun’s position in specific location, date and time can make outdoor rendering as easy as indoor rendering. A target of this study is to propose a new coherent formula to do this. Outdoor rendering using a coherent ...
