There are three types of data association problems. The first is the observation-to-track association (OTTA) problem, where given an observation with some known measurement statistics and a set of existing candidate (uncertain) resident space object (RSO) tracks the analyst seeks to associate each observation with a unique track (or none). The second association problem is where we have multipl...

Caseworkers and clients often have varying interpretations of key events including, for example, how program eligibility guidelines were explained, how assessments were performed, why sanctions were imposed, and reasons for case closures. Both caseworker and client reports can be subject to errors in recall, and biased towards providing socially desirable answers to sensitive questions. Casewor...

in the most described maximum power point tracking (mppt) methods in the literatures, the optimal operation point of the photovoltaic (pv) systems is estimated by linear approximations. however, these approximations can lead to less optimal operating conditions and significantly reduce the performances of the pv systems. this paper proposes a new approach to determine the maximum power point (m...

conclusions: pe may be developed as late as weeks after cardiac surgeries. pe after palliative cardiac surgeries is not uncommon. low doses of aspirin and corticosteroids are usually effective for treating this complication. objectives: our aim was to assess the prevalence, risk factors, time course and therapy response of pericardial effusion (pe) after cardiac surgeries in children. patients ...

The large volume of environmental observation data that is currently being produced by public and private initiatives is highly heterogeneous both in data formats and semantics. A major challenge is to make all these data accessible in a uniform and integrated manner. Sensor Web Enablement specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortium provide standard data encodings and web service interface...

The serial reaction time (SRT) task was used to compare learning of a complex sequence by action (participants responded to sequential stimuli), by observation (participants watched but did not respond to sequential stimuli), and by action-observation (participants watched an expert model responding to sequential stimuli). Each of these groups was compared with an untrained control group. Exper...

Distributed supervisory control is a method to synthesize local controllers in discrete-eventsystems with a systematic observation of the plant. Some works were reported on extending this methodby which local controllers are constructed so that observation properties are preserved from monolithic todistributed supervisory control, in an up-down approach. In this paper, we find circumstances in ...
