This thesis presents an attempt at using multiple event interpretations to enhance the boosted decision tree used in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decay to the bb̄ final state at a Higgs mass of mH = 125 GeV with the ATLAS detector, looking in particular at the ZH → llbb̄ process. Recent studies have suggested that using multiple event interpretations offered by constructing jets ...

Two algorithms based upon a tree-cotree decomposition, called in this paper spanning tree technique (STT) and generalized spanning tree technique (GSTT), have been shown to be useful in computational electromagnetics. The aim of this paper is to give a rigorous description of the GSTT in terms of homology and cohomology theories, together with an analysis of its termination. In particular, the ...

Causation in its simplest form can be expressed as the pairing of a cause event with an effect event. Grouping and relating common past event pairs can be a key to predicting an effect event for a previously unseen cause event. This paper presents a project that (i) constructs an abstraction tree based on several semantic web datasets to represent all past events and then (ii) uses the abstract...

Abstract Rainfall interception process is an important part of the biohydrological cycle, in which vegetation plays role by regulating amount and dynamics rainfall reaching ground. In this paper, event-based analysis performed to discuss influence on dynamic temporal response soil volumetric water content (VWC) upper layer during events. More specifically, six events that occurred between 19 No...

Interactive video is increasingly becoming a more and more dominant feature of our media platforms. Especially due to the popular YouTube annotations framework, integrating graphical annotations in a video has become very fashionable these days. However, the current options are limited to a few graphical shapes for which the user can define as good as no dynamic behaviour. Despite the enormous ...

Graphs provide an excellent framework for interrogating symmetric models of measurement random variables and discovering their implied conditional independence structure. However, it is not unusual for a model to be specified from a description of how a process unfolds (i.e. via its event tree), rather than through relationships between a given set of measurements. Here we introduce a new mixed...

To meet the demands of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where data are usually aggregated at a single source prior to transmitting to any distant user, there is a need to establish a tree structure inside any given event region. In this paper , a novel technique to create one such tree is proposed .This tree preserves the energy and maximizes the lifetime of event sources while they are constant...
