• Ordering: pf ≤ p X 6 →Z f ≤ p R,X 6 →Z f and p S f ≤ p RS f ≤ p R,X 6 →Z f . • Strong independence: Complete information about the uncertain limit state function is needed. • Epistemic irrelevance: Sufficient to know q which condenses the uncertain limit state function. q could be a starting point for uncertainty modelling. • Random set independence: Possibility to combine upper probabilities...

This paper reviews state-of-the-art methods and presents new perspectives of implicit modeling, together with their relations with Constructive-SolidGeometry, for the computation and analysis of molecular surfaces. The link between implicit modeling techniques and the generation of molecular surfaces is possible thanks to the representation of the molecule as the iso-surface of an implicit func...

Introduction: The neural substrates of temporal processing are not still fully known. The majority of interval timing studies have dealt with this subject in the context of “Explicit timing” (computing the time intervals explicitly). The hypothesis “Implicit timing” (implicitly using temporal processing to improve function) has also proposed. This lesion study addressed explicit and implicit ti...

We study the Cooper instability in jellium model controlled regime of small to intermediate values Coulomb parameter ${r}_{s}\ensuremath{\le}2$. confirm that superconductivity naturally emerges from purely repulsive interactions described by Kukkonen-Overhauser vertex function. By employing implicit renormalization approach and discrete Lehmann representation we reveal even small-${r}_{s}$ limi...

This paper applies a state-space approach to estimate the implicit inflation target of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) since the adoption of the Inflation Targeting (IT) framework. The paper‟s findings are two. First, although the official inflation target range is 3–6 percent, in practice, the SARB seems to have aimed for the upper segment of the band (41 2 –6 percent) for most of the p...

capacity of a road facility as an important characteristic in transportation and traffic studies is defined as the maximum rate of flow that could be held by that facility, which has been supposed to have a constant and certain value. this assumption, although necessary for most traffic studies, has also caused some problems, like that of demand exceeding capacity in many road facilities. resea...

This paper considers the problem of modelling a 3-D scene from calibrated images taken from multiple viewpoints. The initial 3-D information is acquired using probabilistic space carving which provides a voxel representation consistent with the given set of images. The scene is afterwards modelled as an implicit surface using radial basis functions (RBF). The mixture of multiorder basis functio...

Implicit parameters are used pervasively in Scala and are also present in a number of other programming and theorem proving languages. Œis paper describes a generalization of implicit parameters as they are currently found in Scala to implicit function types. We motivate the construct by a series of examples and provide formal foundations that closely follow the semantics implemented by the Sca...

We investigate an implicit method to compute a piecewise linear representation of a surface from a set of sample points. As implicit surface functions we use the weighted sum of piecewise linear kernel functions. For such a function we can partition Rd in such a way that these functions are linear on the subsets of the partition. For each subset in the partition we can then compute the zero lev...

The modelling method for creating 3D models in an intuitive way is far from satisfactory. In this paper, we develop a novel mesh fusion method controlled by sketches, which allows users (even novices) to construct complex 3D polygon models fast and easily. The user first cuts needed parts from some existing objects and puts them in right pose. Then, a radial basis function (RBF) based implicit ...
