We examine the possible extent of melting in rock-iron super-earths, focusing on those in the habitable zone. We consider the energetics of accretion and core formation, the timescale of cooling and its dependence on viscosity and partial melting, thermal regulation via the temperature dependence of viscosity, and the melting curves of rock and iron components at the ultra-high pressures charac...

We derive a novel method to determine the parameters for regularized super-resolution problems, addressing both the traditional regularized super-resolution problem with singleand multiple-parameters and the simultaneous super-resolution problem with two parameters. The proposal relies on the Joint Maximum a Posteriori (JMAP) estimation technique. The classical JMAP technique provides solutions...

Super-resolution image zooming is possible when the image has some geometric regularity. Directional interpolation algorithms are used in industry, with ad-hoc regularity measurements. Sparse signal decompositions in dictionaries of curvelets or bandlets find indirectly the directions of regularity by optimizing the sparsity. However, super-resolution interpolations in such dictionaries do not ...

A Common Interest game is a game in which there exists a unique vector of payoffs which strictly Pareto-dominates all other payoffs. We consider the undiscounted repeated game obtained by the infinite repetition of such an n-player Common Interest game. We restrict supergame strategies to be computable within Church's thesis, and we introduce computable trembles on these strategies. If the trem...

The objective of this paper is to present an extension to the set-based model (SBM), which is an effective technique for computing term weights based on co-occurrence patterns, for processing conjunctive and phrase queries. The intuition that semantically related term occurrences often occur closer to each other is taken into consideration. The novelty is that all known approaches that account ...

This paper proposes a video-based high-frequency component compensation (HFCC) super-resolution algorithm. The lost high-frequency information is estimated by local MAP criteria, using the registered frames. By compensating the high frequency component iteratively, the high-resolution images are recovered. The algorithm has lower computational cost than the alternatives. Experimental evaluation...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is non-parametric linear programming (LP) based technique for estimating the relative efficiency of different decision making units (DMUs) assessing the homogeneous type of multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs. The procedure does not require a priori knowledge of weights, while the main concern of this non-parametric technique is to estimate the optimal weights o...

This study analyzes the impact of international trade on environmental efficiency. Using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model that allows us to treat undesirable outputs and super-efficiency beyond unity, we measure the environmental efficiency of four typical air pollutants—SO2, NOx, particulate matter 10 μm or less in diameter, and CO2—for 98 countries for the period 1970–2008. The resulti...
