Inverse Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Theory, Second Edition

by David Colton , 1998
"... Abstract. This paper is a survey of the inverse scattering problem for time-harmonic acoustic and electromagnetic waves at fixed frequency. We begin by a discussion of “weak scattering ” and Newton-type methods for solving the inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves, including a brief discussi ..."

Bayesian Data Analysis

by Andrew Gelman, Christian Robert, Nicolas Chopin, Judith Rousseau , 1995
"... I actually own a copy of Harold Jeffreys’s Theory of Probability but have only read small bits of it, most recently over a decade ago to confirm that, indeed, Jeffreys was not too proud to use a classical chi-squared p-value when he wanted to check the misfit of a model to data (Gelman, Meng and Ste ..."

and Stern, 2006). I do, however, feel that it is important to understand where our probability models come from, and I welcome the opportunity to use the present article by Robert, Chopin and Rousseau as a platform for further discussion of foundational issues. 2 In this brief discussion I will argue

Manifold regularization: A geometric framework for learning from labeled and unlabeled examples

by Mikhail Belkin, Partha Niyogi, Vikas Sindhwani - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2006
"... We propose a family of learning algorithms based on a new form of regularization that allows us to exploit the geometry of the marginal distribution. We focus on a semi-supervised framework that incorporates labeled and unlabeled data in a general-purpose learner. Some transductive graph learning al ..."

A Tutorial on Visual Servo Control

by Seth Hutchinson, Greg Hager, Peter Corke - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION , 1996
"... This paper provides a tutorial introduction to visual servo control of robotic manipulators. Since the topic spans many disciplines our goal is limited to providing a basic conceptual framework. We begin by reviewing the prerequisite topics from robotics and computer vision, including a brief review ..."

Philippines, with a brief discussion of the status of tilefish systematics

by James K. Dooley, Yukio Iwatsuki
"... A new rare species of deepwater Branchiostegus is described from two specimens collected from Bayangas, Laiya, Philippines (13 0 38.5 ’ N, 121 0 25.6 ’ E). A total of four specimens were caught by hook and line in 2009 and 2011 between 210–220 m over a rocky-sand bottom, only two were preserved. The ..."

NeXt generation/dynamic spectrum access/cognitive Radio Wireless Networks: A Survey

by Ian F. Akyildiz, Won-Yeol Lee, Mehmet C. Vuran, Shantidev Mohanty - COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER , 2006
"... Today's wireless networks are characterized by a fixed spectrum assignment policy. However, a large portion of the assigned spectrum is used sporadically and geographical variations in the utilization of assigned spectrum ranges from 15% to 85% with a high variance in time. The limited availabl ..."

. The term xG networks is used throughout the paper. The novel functionalities and current research challenges of the xG networks are explained in detail. More specifically, a brief overview of the cognitive radio technology is provided and the xG network architecture is introduced. Moreover, the xG network

Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems

by Reza Olfati-Saber , J Alex Fax , Richard M Murray , Reza Olfati-Saber , J Alex Fax , Richard M Murray - Proceedings of the IEEE , 2007
"... Summary. This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An ove ..."
Abstract - Cited by 807 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
. An overview of basic concepts of information consensus in networks and methods of convergence and performance analysis for the algorithms are provided. Our analysis framework is based on tools from matrix theory, algebraic graph theory, and control theory. We discuss the connections between consensus problems

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations: Classic definitions and new directions.

by Richard M Ryan , Edward L Deci - Contemporary Educational Psychology, , 2000
"... Intrinsic and extrinsic types of motivation have been widely studied, and the distinction between them has shed important light on both developmental and educational practices. In this review we revisit the classic definitions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in light of contemporary research ..."

classes of motives to basic human needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness are discussed. © 2000 Academic Press To be motivated means to be moved to do something. A person who feels no impetus or inspiration to act is thus characterized as unmotivated, whereas someone who is energized or activated
