The topic of this lecture is about indexing. Namely, given an input set S of elements, we would like to preprocess S by creating a data structure on it. Then, given any query, we can utilize the structure to answer it efficiently, in particular, with much lower cost than if we did not have the structure. As an example, let us recall when the binary search tree – a fundamental structure at the u...

in this paper, we present a computational method for solving boundary integral equations with loga-rithmic singular kernels which occur as reformulations of a boundary value problem for the laplacian equation. themethod is based on the use of the galerkin method with cas wavelets constructed on the unit interval as basis.this approach utilizes the non-uniform gauss-legendre quadrature rule for ...

Novelty is an important psychological construct that affects both perceptual and behavioral processes. Here, we propose a lexical novelty score (LNS) for a song’s lyric, based on the statistical properties of a corpus of 275,905 lyrics (available at www.smcnus.org/lyrics/). A lyric-level LNS was derived as a function of the inverse document frequencies of its unique words. An artist-level LNS w...

introduction: the process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. one of the main features called volume percentage of stroma (vps) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. currently, this feature is calculated by...

This paper proposes an innovative algorithm to find the two’s complement of a binary number. The proposed method works in logarithmic time (O(logN)) instead of the worst case linear time (O(N)) where a carry has to ripple all the way from LSB to MSB. The proposed method also allows for more regularly structured logic units which can be easily modularized and can be naturally extended to any wor...

the improvement in the temporal resolution of seismic data is a critical issue in hydrocarbonexploration. it is important for obtaining more detailed structural and stratigraphic information. manymethods have been introduced to improve the vertical resolution of reflection seismic data. eachmethod has advantages and disadvantages which are due to the assumptions and theories governingtheir issu...
