Conventional sampling (Shannon's sampling formulation and its approximation-theoretic counterparts) and interpolation theories provide effective solutions to the problem of reconstructing a signal from its samples, but they are primarily restricted to the ...
This paper presents a stochastic model for spatially embedded social networks based on the ideas of spatial interaction models. Analysing empirical data, we find that the probability to accept a social contact at a certain distance follows a power law with ...
Motivation: Understanding gene regulation in biological processes and modeling the robustness of underlying regulatory networks is an important problem that is currently being addressed by computational systems biologists. Lately, there has been a renewed ...
The radioactive isotope Fe-60 (T-1/2 = 1.5 Myr) was present in the early solar system. It is unlikely that it was injected directly into the nascent solar system by a single, nearby supernova (SN). It is proposed instead that it was inherited during the mo ...
This paper presents a method to optimize two linear actuator configurations. The method is stochastic and combines a genetic algorithm (GA) and FEM (finite element method) model generated with the commercial software FEMM. The optimization is performed in ...
The use of nanowire crossbars to build devices with large storage capabilities is a very promising architectural paradigm for forthcoming nanoscale memory devices. However, this new type of memory devices raises questions regarding how to test their correc ...
In this paper, we propose an efficient method to estimate the radar cross section (RCS) mean and variance of a 2-D cylinder with random holes. This model has been applied extensively in microwave engineering, e.g., frequency selective surface (FSS). Firstl ...
There has been a lot of recent work on Bayesian methods for reinforcement learning exhibiting near-optimal online performance. The main obstacle facing such methods is that in most problems of interest, the optimal solution involves planning in an infinite ...
This paper presents a systematic analysis of the motion of microscale structures actuated by flagellated bacteria. We perform the study both experimentally and theoretically. We use a blotting procedure to attach flagellated bacteria to a buoyancy-neutral ...
