Increased market pressure, sharp competition and globalisation are some of the main challenges faced nowadays by companies, pushing them to continuously evaluate the suitability of their business model and to look for new opportunities. Electronic commerce ...
A major issue in modern ecology is to understand how ecological complexity at broad scales is regulated by mechanisms operating at the organismic level. What specific underlying processes are essential for a macroecological pattern to emerge? Here, we anal ...
We present the continuation of our long-term spectroscopic monitoring of the gravitationally lensed quasar QSO 2237 + 0305. We investigate the chromatic variations observed in the UV/optical continuum of both quasar images A and B, and compare them with nu ...
Class posterior distributions can be used to classify or as intermediate features, which can be further exploited in different classifiers (e.g., Gaussian Mixture Models, GMM) towards improving speech recognition performance. In this paper we examine the p ...
A model for average travel time estimation on signalized urban networks by integrating cumulative plots with probe vehicle information is presented. The integration is performed with the aim to reduce the relative deviations in the cumulative plots occurre ...
Two-component mixture distributions with one component a point mass and the other a continuous density may be used as priors for Bayesian inference when sparse representation of an underlying signal is required. We show how saddlepoint approximation in suc ...
Multimodal signal processing analyzes a physical phenomenon through several types of measures, or modalities. This leads to the extraction of higher-quality and more reliable information than that obtained from single-modality signals. The advantage is two ...
In this study, we evaluate eight autoconversion parameterizations against integration of the Kinetic Collection Equation (KCE) for cloud size distributions measured during the NASA CRYSTAL-FACE and CSTRIPE campaigns. KCE calculations are done using both th ...
The Weibull distribution, used to describe the scaling of strength of materials, has been verified on a wide range of materials and geometries; however, the quality of the fitting tended to be less good towards the upper tail. Based on a previously develop ...
Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPE) for horizontal peaks of acceleration and velocity, and for horizontal response spectral ordinates, have employed a variety of definitions for the horizontal component of motion based on different treatments of the ...
