Transition rate measurements are reported for the 2(1)+ and 2(2)+ states in N=Z 64Ge. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with large-scale shell-model calculations applying the recently developed GXPF1A interactions. The measurement was done using the recoil distance method (RDM) and a unique combination of state-of-the-art instruments at the National Superconducting Cyclotron L...

The RDM-QIM algorithm has been proposed as a solution to the gain attack in QIM-based data hiding schemes. Several data hiding applications, such as broadcasting monitoring and live performance watermarking, requires a real-time multi-channel behavior. While Digital Signal Processors (DSP) have been used for implementing these schemes achieving real-time performance for audio signal processing,...

The regression depth method (RDM) proposed by Rousseeuw and Hubert [RH99] plays an important role in the area of robust regression for a continuous response variable. Christmann and Rousseeuw [CR01] showed that RDM is also useful for the case of binary regression. Vapnik’s convex risk minimization principle [Vap98] has a dominating role in statistical machine learning theory. Important special ...

Aspect-oriented approaches have recently been proposed to address the problem of specifying dynamic object-based systems, by depicting the various roles of the objects separately. In this paper, we consider an approach based on the observable behavior of objects and propose a specification formalism for reusable object interfaces with input/output-driven assumption-guarantee predicates. The for...

One fundamental issue in service-oriented computing concerns the question whether services can be composed in a manner that allows them to achieve their individual goals. In this paper we use a variant of interface automata as an abstraction of the input/output behaviour of services, which are themselves represented as terms in the π-calculus extended with an action for expressing service colla...

ion mechanism. Many database researchers have used OSFOL to view the Relational Data Model (RDM) ; however, no RDM has been modelled by MSFOL. This paper first gives a formal definition for MSFOL and then its advantages of expressiveness and of abstraction are illustrated. Two reduction algorithms which can transform an MSFOL-based language into\from an OSFOL-based language are given. The seman...

Signal detection is a fundamental problem in Cognitive radio. In this paper a new statistical test is proposed based on random data matrix (RDM) for detecting the signals in noise, as opposed to the eigenvalue based tests. Among the many spectrum sensing methods, the RDM method detects the primary users without any prior information. The performance of the test is compared with energy detection...

Contemporary product design based on 3D CAD tools aims at improved efficiency using integrated engineering environments with access to databases of existing designs, associated documents and enterprise resource planning (ERP). One of the goals of the SEVENPRO project is to achieve design process improvements through the utilization of relational data mining (RDM), utilizing past designs and com...
