That method has been called \"Tridiagonal Matrix Enhanced Multivariance Product Representation, or briefly, TMEMPR. Here, in this work our ultimate goal has been taken as the decomposition of a univariate linear integral operator. Instead of this task we focus on a bivariate function since the kernel of such an operator is a bivariate function. After having a well developed theory it is just a matter of simple translation what we are going to obtain into linear integral operator's decomposition. The main skeleton of the issue has been constructed in this presentation.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124951209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clustering is good in the color space YCgCr. Firstly, skin colors are projected in the color space CgCr and the fitting of distribution is carried through in order to wipe off a part of non skin color and gain the intersected image as the result of the first detection. Experimental results indicate that this fitting of distribution can have a good effect on reducing a mass of processing pixels of non skin color. Secondly, skin colors extracted in the first detection are projected in the color space GB in order to further wipe off part of the remaining non skin colors that are not reduced in the first detection by the fitting of distribution. Lastly, the relationships among the three components of every pixel of skin colors and non skin colors in the color space HSL are observed and the percentage of pixels corresponding to a certain relationship is calculated, so part of the non skin color can be further reduced based on the differences we find according to the observed relationship. Experimental results indicate that this algorithm has a good recognition effect and small amount of computation, it can be used in skin color detection in simple environment.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114378586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to standard full adders used in two's complement arithmetic, signed digit adder cells offer the potential for improved performance. Designing an efficient signed digit adder cell leads to the problem of analyzing 2 to the power of 44 truth tables originating from different signed digit encodings. Since different digit encodings can produce identical truth tables, it is favorable to reduce this large number of truth tables by identifying identical ones. We introduce a novel approach for the solution of this problem using the MapReduce programming model. We take a step towards solving this problem using three different implementations of MapReduce (Hadoop, Disco, and MR-MPI) and compare their performance on an Opteron-based cluster using up to 64 physical cores.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122247644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, an original cascading architecture has been proposed for building larger size incrementers-cum-decrementers based on the LSZB principle. SPICE simulations reveal that a 32-bit incrementer-cum-decrementer implemented using the proposed LSZB principle dissipates 58.6% less power than its counterpart designs based on the LSOB approach.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126641866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the 10min period measured wind speed data for years 2002, 2003 at 10m, 30m and 40m heights were analyzed for Firoozkooh city in Iran County approximately 120km from Tehran. The wind speed distribution was modeled using the Weibull probability function, wind density and Monthly wind energy production are estimated. Results show that the monthly value of shape parameter (k) ranges from 1.1054 in October 2002 (h=40m) to 2.6847 in June 2002 (h=10m), while the monthly value of scale parameter (c) varies from 2.9083m/s in January 2002 (h=10m) to 9.4082m/s in June 2002 (h=40m). Values of 232.18 and 169.32w/m2 are estimated for annual mean power density at height of 30m for years 2002 and 2003 respectively and the wind class was found to be 2 which not being deemed suitable for large machines, although smaller wind turbines may be economical in this area where the value of the energy produced is higher.","PeriodicalId":202841,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131508141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The routines return a result -- a so-called candidate of a global minimum. Unfortunately, the question whether the candidate represents the optimal solution, often remains unanswered. This article presents a simple-to-use, statistical analysis that determines and assesses the quality of such a result.

Location recommendations depending on users' needs have been a subject of interest for many researchers, while location prediction schemes have been developed in order to provide user's possible future location. In this paper, we present a method for predicting a user's location based on machine learning techniques. The dataset we used was based on input from a well-known Location-Based Social Network. Prediction results can be used in order to make appropriate suggestions for venues or points of interests to users, based on their interests and social connections.
