...properties of different kinds of clusters [37-40] (S, Si, Na, etc.) with a number of atoms up to about 50. The rest of the Chapter is organized as follows. In section 2, we briefly describe density functional theory and the local density approximation, and outline how...

...bi-directional motion information is available and the motion compensation can be done at a sub-pixel level. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows: In Section 2, we first introduce some notion on video coding, particularly the coding scheme of block DCT and motion...

...characteristics, and how these characteristics suggest the choice of the appropriate management technique. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2 we describe several circuit switching techniques. We develop a model of the cost of network management...

...we need to employ the viscosity solutions and the associated super-/subdifferentials to handle them. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2 we review the Hamilton-Jacobi theory in classical mechanics to demonstrate the origin of the problem....

...VCC may allow users to refine domain knowledge and perhaps trigger a classification process again. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2, we briefly review the related works. In Section 3, we present the VCC portion of VIMS. We first discuss...

...use of SMMVN-link models for analyzing the correlated ordinal data very attractive and convenient. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2, we discuss the general structure of the scale mixture of multivariate normal link models and several...

...Experiments show that the new features improve classification accuracy by more then 20% on our test datasets. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows: In Section 2 we describe the sequence discovery problem and look at related work in Section 3. In Section 4 we develop...

...details into consideration and can be used to increase performance without increasing average power. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows: In Section 2 we discuss some previous work that has been done in the area of compilers and low power/energy. Section...

...years, but they have little influence in this third group because of the existing control positions. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2, we show how the value of voting is reflected in the share prices and introduce two alternative variables...

...also proves the observation that having wavelength-conversion at every node is not cost-effective. The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2, we develop an Integer Linear Program (ILP) to solve the WCP problem for shared-path protection. In...
