Algorithm

selected stations does not meet the requirement of minimum number of stations (MIN_STA), the algorithm goes to the upper level facet and selects stations sitting in the same facet, until fulfilling the requirement. Considering topographical facet in the procedure of selecting neighboring stations helps to utilize the dependency of precipitation on topographical features (Daly et al., 1994). The whole algorithm was implemented in cython (www.cython.org) with Gnu Scientific Library (GSL)…

the emphasis is more on guidance towards a correct pattern than on a simple rigid repetition. The H2 control approach implements an assist-as-needed algorithm based on a force field control, where the joint torque is generated based on the trajectory deviation, resulting in a corrective proportional force that correct guides patient’s limb. This algorithm concept has the benefit that the controller will always generate enough torque to stabilize both, the affected and unaffected leg, without the…

The Growing Importance of SEO Consulting in Today’s Advancing Digital World SEO plays an important role in online marketing, one that is seen to stay for a long time.

In the immeasurable era of technology, Self-Driving cars (SDCs) are a substantial invention of automated assistance in driving. Along with flawless driving efficiency that has the potential to enormously reduce the number of road traffic accidents, the concept of SDCs has also brought back ethics and morals into the world of vehicular driving. However, as every major invention, SDCs can be a potential threat as well. There is still a long way to go in terms of progress before SDCs can be made…

Simmel discusses the division of labor in his essay titled "The Metropolis and Mental life" in terms of how it has changed due to the rise of modernity. There has been a rise in specialization in which the city provides a variety of diverse services. It is now important that an individual refines and specializes in a service that was not provided in the past so that they can make a profit and be different. Another change is the impersonal nature of the inter-human contact. In traditional society…

calculation of statistics, such as mean or covariance, that can be used to summarize data streams. These summaries may be used for any purpose, such as the calculation and update of a prototype representing the stream in a dynamic evolutionary clustering algorithm. This strategy is based on a weighting scheme which \textquotedblleft progressively forgets\textquotedblright\ old samples when new samples arrive. The \textquotedblleft memory\textquotedblright\ of the weighting scheme is controlled…

The main reason why I majored in Computer Science and Mathematics is since it would grant me the circumspect education to become an Information Security Analyst. The reason why I chose these majors is as a background in computer science would be useful as I would have a thorough understanding of operating systems and databases. In addition to being able to understand the principles of computers, a proficiency in programming is beneficial toward learning ethical hacking. I would benefit from…

The Kinect V2 is composed of a time-of-flight continues-wave camera with a resolution of 512*424 pixels (width*height), an RGB camera with a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels (width*height), an array of 4 microphones and some electronics for signal elaboration. The camera is able to acquire images at a maximum frequency of 30 Hz. Sending out invisible structures pulses into the scene whilst measuring the individual traveling time of each point in the pulse (See figure 3.1, page 16). The operating…

implemented to extract features from images and the results were further refined using SIFT, SVD and VSEM. A t-test was run to compare traits to a set of about 100000 Facebook users randomly sampled from myPersonality. Six different classification algorithms were used: naïve bayes, support vectors, decision trees, logistic regression, nearest neighbors, rule learner. We ran a 60% training and 40% test split evaluation (f1-s) and provide f1-scores. We computed two baselines for the classification…

REL-1: The mean time between failures of the Pifaro system components shall be at least 200 hours. REL-2: No more than 5 experimental runs out of 1,000 can be lost because of system failures. 6.6.2 Robustness ROB-1: The system shall able to correct minor typing errors on PURL address and direct users to correct URLs. ROB-2: If the system fails before users successfully create and save PURLs to the system, the system shall recover it being edited as of, at most, one minute prior to the failure…
