A pair wise key pre-distribution scheme based on the concept of the Overlap Key Sharing (OKS) and clusters for wireless sensor networks is proposed. This strategy divides the sensing area into square cells and logical groups and distributes key information to the sensor nodes by employing the OKS scheme. Sensor nodes establish their secure communication through using their keys. Analysis and co...

A Gray code is a listing structure for a set of combinatorial objects such that some consistent (usually minimal) change property is maintained throughout adjacent elements in the list. While Gray codes for m-ary strings have been considered in the past, we provide a new, simple Gray code for fixed-weight m-ary strings. In addition, we consider a relatively new type of Gray code known as overla...

Sign languages stand out in that there is high prevalence of conventionalised linguistic forms that map directly to their referent (i.e., iconic). Hearing adults show low performance when asked to guess the meaning of iconic signs suggesting that their iconic features are largely inaccessible to them. However, it has not been investigated whether speakers’ gestures, which also share the propert...

Let V be a finite set of n elements and F = {X1, X2, . . . , Xm} a family of m subsets of V. Two sets Xi and Xj of F overlap if Xi∩Xj 6= ∅, Xj \ Xi 6= ∅, and Xi \ Xj 6= ∅. Two sets X, Y ∈ F are in the same overlap class if there is a series X = X1, X2, . . . , Xk = Y of sets of F in which each XiXi+1 overlaps. In this note, we focus on efficiently identifying all overlap classes in O(n + ∑m i=1...

1. In undissected, freely mobile earthworms the sensory input for tactile stimulation to the MGF and LGF shows a region of overlap occupying a number of segments behind the clitellum. The average number of overlapping segments from a sample of 14 worms was 13 (range 0-28). 2. The overlap zone consists of segments from which both LGF and MGF spikes can be elicited. 3. Increasing stimulus intensi...

Lower bounds for the condition numbers of the preconditioned systems are obtained for two-level additive S c h w arz preconditioners for both second order and fourth order problems. They show that the known upper bounds are sharp in the case of a small overlap.

In real-world applications, it has been often observed that class imbalance (significant differences in class prior probabilities) may produce an important deterioration of the classifier performance, in particular with patterns belonging to the less represented classes. This effect becomes especially significant on instance-based learning due to the use of some dissimilarity measure. We analyz...

Niche overlap is increasingly used as a way of measuring the intensity of interorganizational competition. This paper examines and compares various distance and cosine measures of niche overlap. The analysis in this paper shows that Euclidean distance applied to the raw data as well as to transformed data is not an appropriate measure of niche overlap. An alternative measure from the cosine fam...

This paper describes the IIRG 1 system entered in SemEval-2013, the 7th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation. We participated in Task 5 Evaluating Phrasal Semantics. We have adopted a token-based approach to solve this task using 1) Naı̈ve Bayes methods and 2) Word Overlap methods, both of which rely on the extraction of syntactic features. We found that the word overlap method signific...
