We investigate a one-dimensional model of blood flow in human arteries. In particular, we consider the case when an abrupt variation of mechanical characteristic of artery is caused by the presence of a vascular prosthesis. The derivations of the model and ...
Interoperability has become a keyword in the European Transport Policy, with the strong objective to improve transportation services. In the rail sector, this trend is embodied in technological innovations: A deep change in the communication and signalling ...
This case is a short (2-page) follow-up to the A-case: IMD-6-0252 and should be used together with it. The case relates the story from July 2001 to July 2002, illustrating the complications encountered in finalizing the outsourcing agreement. It summarizes ...
This paper presents a cursive character recognizer, a crucial module in any Cursive Script Recognition system based on a segmentation and recognition approach. The character classification is achieved by combining the use of Neural Gas (NG) and Learning Ve ...
We present a method for face class modeling in the eigenfaces space using a large-margin classifier like SVM. Another issue addressed is how to select the number of eigenfaces to achieve a good classification rate. As the experimental evidence show, genera ...
Moire effects ('Glass patterns') that occur in the superposition of correlated random layers have long been studied. However, only little is known of Glass patterns which occur in the 1D random case: namely, when the superposed layers consist of random lin ...
A model of tissue differentiation at the bone-implant interface is proposed. The basic hypothesis of the model is that the mechanical environment determines the tissue differentiation. The stimulus chosen is related to the bone-implant micromotions. Equati ...
In this paper we will survey some of the most recent results on low-density parity-check codes. Our emphasis will be primarily on the asymptotic theory of these codes. For the most part, we will introduce the main concepts for the easier case of the erasur ...
Deterministic Network Calculus provides an elegant way to compute performance bounds, e.g. bounds on backlog, delay-jitter, loss ratio, and like. Such bounds are deterministic worst-case bounds. In some cases it is practically sensible that individual flow ...
