Abstract Strategic resources affect national development and security at all times. Actual utilization of strategic is crucial. In recent years, such as coal mineral powder usually need to be stored in closed stockyards after mining due environmental protection, concealment, other reasons. The existing stockpiling inventory system cannot autonomously complete the stockyard with low risk, cost, ...

This paper describes the performance of NIRSPEC, the cryogenic cross-dispersed infrared echelle spectrograph for the Keck II telescope on Mauna Kea. NIRSPEC employs a 1024 x 1024 InSb array, diamond-machined metal optics and closed-cycle refrigeration to achieve high throughput and low backgrounds. The instrument operates directly at the f/15 Nasmyth focus, but can also be used in conjunction w...

A model for a Choquet integral for arbitrary finite set systems is presented. The model includes in particular the classical model on the system of all subsets of a finite set. The general model associates canonical nonnegative and positively homogeneous superadditive functionals with generalized belief functions relative to an ordered system, which are then extended to arbitrary valuations on ...

We explore the concept of metastability or almost-invariance in open dynamical systems. In such systems, the loss of mass through a “hole” occurs in the presence of metastability. We extend existing techniques for finding almost-invariant sets in closed systems to open systems by introducing a closing operation that has a small impact on the system’s metastability.

A formal framework is set up for the discussion of generalized autoregressive with external input models of the form = , where and are linear operators, with the main emphasis being on signal spaces consisting of bounded sequences parametrized by the integers. Different notions of stability are explored, and topological notions such as the idea of a closed system are linked with questions of st...

A gedanken-experiment is proposed for 'weighing " the total mass of a closed system from within the system. We prove that for an internal observer the time τ , required to measure the total energy with accuracy ∆E, is bounded according to τ ∆E > ¯ h. This time-energy uncertainty principle for a closed system follows from the measurement back-reaction on the system. We generally examine what oth...

Abstract Story segmentation is an important problem in multimedia indexing and retrieval and includes detection of commercials as one of its component problems. Commercials appear regularly in television data and are usually treated as noise. Hence, filtering of commercials is an important task. This paper presents a system that detects and filters commercials from broadcast news data. While pr...

Following the analytic approach to thermodynamics developed by Stückelberg, we study the evolution equations of a closed thermodynamic system consisting of point particles in a fluid. We obtain a system of coupled differential equations describing the mechanical and the thermal evolution of the system. The coupling between these evolution equations is due to the action of a viscous friction ter...

OBJECTIVE Meals are a major hurdle to glycemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our objective was test fully automated closed-loop (CLC) system the absence of announcement carbohydrate ingestion among adolescents with T1D, who known commonly omit meal announcement. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighteen T1D (age 15.6 ± 1.7 years; HbA1c 7.4 1.5%; 9 females/9 males) participated randomized crossov...
