Validation and Intercomparison Studies Oceanography

evaluations were used to improve the systems' components—ocean model parameterization, forcing, or assimilation methodology. There are more constraints on assessment of ocean analysis and forecasting systems than on validations normally performed for academic projects. The ocean assessments must be performed in real time with practical operational constraints such as computer resources, storage capacity, and availability of reference values (e.g., independent ocean data). Because outputs rely on continuously changing information (e.g., availability of input such as atmospheric forcing fields, in real time), monitoring and assessment of the validation procedures are mandatory. Outputs from operational systems are also used for commercial and other applications (e.g., oil spills, water-quality assessments, marine security). Thus, the assessment methodology must reflect user requirements. Different applications require different levels of accuracy. For instance, an ocean model that may be satisfactory for general ocean study may not provide sufficient information for search and rescue activities. The assessment of data assimilation systems is more focused on accuracy than on overall quality. In other words, where a certain level of quality is sought in pure modeling research (e.g., Is there deep convection? Has Labrador Sea Water formed? Is there a Gulf Stream overshoot, an acceptable meridional heat transport, and meridional overturning circulation? ), assimilation experiments are tested on " realistic representation " where reference data are used to directly quantify error levels. A comprehensive error budget is also required for proper assessment of data assimilation results. Assimilation schemes are more or less guided by background and observation errors, and the most sophisticated schemes provide robust forecast error estimates (Brasseur, 2006). It is, then, necessary to verify model error assumptions against dedicated error validation procedures. In this context, using different model configurations and data assimilation methods, operational oceanography teams have tried to develop their tools for assessing the quality of outputs, and they have started to provide " error bars " to users. Thanks to GODAE, these initiatives could be shared at the international level (Smith, 2006). A special intercom-parison exercise was performed at the beginning of 2008 as a GODAE project. The objectives were to: (1) demonstrate GODAE systems in operation, (2) share expertise and design validation tools and metrics endorsed by all GODAE operational centers, and (3) evaluate the overall scientific quality of the different iNtrODuctiON
Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to provide the player with an immersion feeling. At the same time, computer generated movies have become very popular and thus have increased the demand for animation realism. Indeed, virtual humans are now the new stars in movies like Final Fantasy or Shrek, or are even used for special effects in movies like Matrix. In this context, the virtual humans animations not only need to be realistic as for computer games, but really need to be expressive as for real actors. While creating animations from scratch is still widespread, it demands artistics skills and hours if not days to produce few seconds of animation. For these reasons, there has been a growing interest for motion capture: instead of creating a motion, the idea is to reproduce the movements of a live performer. However, motion capture is not perfect and still needs improvements. Indeed, the motion capture process involves complex techniques and equipments. This often results in noisy animations which must be edited. Moreover, it is hard to exactly foresee the final motion. For example, it often happens that the director of a movie decides to change the script. The animators then have to change part or the whole animation. The aim of this thesis is then to provide animators with interactive tools helping them to easily and rapidly modify preexisting animations. We first present our Inverse Kinematics solver used to enforce kinematic constraints at each time of an animation. Afterward, we propose a motion deformation framework offering the user a way to specify prioritized constraints and to edit an initial animation so that it may be used in a new context (characters, environment,etc). Finally, we introduce a semi-automatic algorithm to extract important motion features from motion capture animation which may serve as a first guess for the animators when specifying important characteristics an initial animation should respect.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MIMO TECHNOLOGY IN MOBILE WIRELESS SYSTEMS

The main goals in developing new wireless communication systems are increasing the transmission capacity and improving the spectrum efficiency. Space-time codes and spatial multiplexing codes exploit the richly scattered wireless channel by using multiple transmit and receive antennas in order to improve the reliability of data transfer and greatly increase the data transmission rates without additional radio resource requirements. Significant performance gain is achieved by varying some transmit and receive parameters.

A LEVEL SET METHOD FOR THE MUMFORD-SHAH FUNCTIONAL AND FRACTURE

Existing level set methods for the Mumford-Shah functional have been incapable of obtaining certain features, such as crack-tips and the presence of only triple junctions, which are known to occur in Mumford-Shah minimizers (and corresponding variational models for fracture). We introduce a new level set method for computing stationary points of certain free discontinuity problems that does obtain these critical features. Numerical experiments are presented to validate the new level set method.
Mathematics and Numeracy: Two Literacies, One Language

From business decisions and personal finances to government policy and environmental monitoring, the need for school graduates to understand and be able to use quantitative thinking has never been greater. Daily headlines use quantitative measures to report on public opinion, financial markets, school test scores, risks of disease, consumer prices, and refugees from ethnic wars. Anyone who wishes can obtain data about clinical trials of new drugs, educational expenditures in local schools, projections of government budgets, and indicators of climate change.
MODEL-BASED STRATIFICATIONS FOR ENHANCING THE DETECTION OF RARE ECOLOGICAL EVENTS

A common concern when designing surveys for rare species is ensuring sufficient detections for analytical purposes, such as estimating frequency on the landscape or modeling habitat relationships. Strict design-based approaches provide the least biased estimates but often result in low detection rates of rare species. Here, we demonstrate how model-based stratification can improve the probability of detecting five rare epiphytic macrolichens (Nephroma laevigatum, N. occultum, N. parile, Lobaria scrobiculataa, and Psuedocyphelaria rainierensis) in the Pacific Northwest. We constructed classification tree models for four more common lichens (L. oregana, L. pulmonaria, P. anomala, and P. anthraspis) that are associated with the rare species, then used the models to generate strata for sampling for the five lichen species considered rare. The classification tree models were developed using topographic and bio-climatic variables hypothesized to have direct relationships to the presence of the modeled lichen species. When the expected detection rates using the model-based stratification approach was tested on an independent data set, it resulted in two- to fivefold gains in detection compared to the observed detection rates for four of the five tested rare species.
Vehicle fuel consumption simulation model using VHDL-AMS

The vehicle system is a multi-domain system that requires many branches of science and engineering. Therefore the development of the vehicle system requires the use of design methodologies that utilize simulations, which have grown increasingly sophisticated in recent years. This paper describes how VHDL-AMS is used to model of vehicle fuel consumption simulation. This model consists of the power-train, alternator and battery system that are the basic elements of the vehicle power network system. And also, the physical quantities of the powertrain and the fuel consumption are modeled as mechanical region. Finally, the fuel consumption is shown using proposed simulation model on the Japanese 10–15 mode and JC08 mode.
A Generative Approach to Model Interpreter Evolution

Domain-specific modeling techniques are being adopted with more frequency in the engineering of computer based systems. In the presence of new stakeholder requirements, it is possible that a meta-model undergoes numerous changes during periods of evolution. There is a fundamental problem in maintaining the model interpreters in terms of such metamodel schema changes. This position paper outlines the technical challenges involved in providing evolution of model interpreters. The paper proposes an approach that is based on a mature program transformation engine to automate the evolution of interpreters in the presence of meta-schema changes.
Corrections to "A General Theory of Phase Noise in Electrical Oscillators"

The fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor of the above paper,1 contains many interesting and novel features. However, bit rev rsed input/output FFT algorithms, matrix transposers, and bit reversers have been noted in the literature. In addition, lower radix algorithms can be modified to be made computationally equivalent to higher radix algorithms. Many FFT ideas, including those of the above paper, 1 can also be applied to other important algorithms and architectures.
Tools for enabling communication partners

As audiologists, our training predisposes us to describe a person’s hearing loss in terms of the audiogram and to focus on technological solutions, but this approach does not accurately reflect the communication difficulties individuals with hearing loss have with the people who are a part of their worlds. Individuals with hearing loss communicate on a regular basis in a variety of communication environments for a variety of purposes with a number people, including spouses, children, medical personnel, caregivers, coworkers, clergy, members of the community, and more. As Ida Institute faculty member Joe Montano, EdD, says, “For every event in an individual’s life, there is a communication partner in a communication environment. ”
Cross-layer Scheduling in Cloud Computing Systems Table of Contents

Today, application schedulers are decoupled from routing level schedulers, leading to sub-optimal throughput for cloud computing platforms. In this thesis, we propose a cross-layer scheduling framework that bridges the application level scheduler with the routing level scheduler (SDN). We realize our framework in a batch-processing framework (Hadoop [1]) and a streamprocessing framework (Storm [2]). Our experimental results show that we are able to improve throughput of jobs in Storm and Hadoop by up to 32% and 29% respectively.
MONOTONE CQ ALGORITHM FOR WEAK RELATIVELY NONEXPANSIVE MAPPINGS AND MAXIMAL MONOTONE OPERATORS IN BANACH SPACES

The purpose of this article is to prove strong convergence theorems for weak relatively nonexpansive mapping which is firstly presented in this article. In order to get the strong convergence theorems for weak relatively nonexpansive mapping, the monotone CQ iteration method is presented and is used to approximate the fixed point of weak relatively nonexpansive mapping, therefore this article apply above results to prove the strong convergence theorems of zero point for maximal monotone operators in Banach spaces. Noting that, the CQ iteration method can be used for relatively nonexpansive mapping but it can not be used for weak relatively nonexpansive mapping. However, the monotone CQ method can be used for weak relatively nonexpansive mapping. The results of this paper modify and improve the results of S.Matsushita and W.Takahashi, and some others.
OPTIMIZI G ETHA OL PRODUCTIO SELECTIVITY

Lactococcus Lactis metabolizes glucose homofermentatively to lactate. However, after disruption of the gene coding for lactate dehydrogenase, LDH , a key enzyme in NAD+ regeneration, the glycolytic flux shifts from homolactic to mixed acid fermentation with the redirection of pyruvate towards production of formate, acetate, ethanol and carbon dioxide. A mathematical model of the pyruvate metabolism pathway that enhances our understanding of ethanol production was developed from in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) time series measurements that describes the dynamics of the metabolites in L. lactis. An S-system model based on the power law representation was able to capture the observed dynamics of the pyruvate metabolism pathway in L. lactis in vivo. The model provides insights into the maximization of selectivity of ethanol with respect to acetate and carbon dioxide as undesired products in multiple reactions. High concentrations of NADH and acetyl-CoA and low concentrations of pyruvate and NAD appear to maximize ethanol selectivity. These conclusions help to design strategies for improvement of ethanol products from sugars or others biomass. The results bear relevance in the educational field due to its usefulness in metabolic engineering applications.
Birds of a Feather Do Not Always Lek Together: Genetic Diversity and Kinship Structure of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Alberta

ABSTRACT. Endangered species are sensitive to the genetic effects of fragmentation, small population size, and inbreeding, so effective management requires a thorough understanding of their breeding systems and genetic diversity. The Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a lekking species that has declined by 66–92% during the past 35 years in Alberta. Our goals were to assess the genetic diversity of Greater Sage-Grouse in Alberta and to determine the degree of sex-specific relatedness within and among leks. Six hundred and four individuals sampled in 1998–2007 were genotyped at 13 microsatellite loci. Levels of genetic diversity were high, with the exception of one recently founded lek, and did not change over time. Overall, we did not observe isolation-by-distance among leks, and most leks were not differentiated from one another, which suggests that gene flow occurs across the study area. Males and females exhibited similar patterns of isolation-by-distance, so dispersal was not sex-specific. Overall relatedness was close to zero for both sexes at the level of the province, lek, and year, which suggests that neither sex forms strong kin associations. However, we found relatedness within leks at the year level to be greater than zero, which indicates interannual variation. We also found no evidence that Greater Sage-Grouse follow the typical avian pattern of male philopatry. Although the species is endangered in Alberta and occurs in fragmented habitat, it has maintained genetic diversity and connectivity.
Inversion of complex body waves—III

We have developed a method that inverts seismic body waves to determine the mechanism and rupture pattern of earthquakes. The rupture pattern is represented as a sequence of subevents distributed on the fault plane. This method is an extension of our earlier method in which the subevent mechanisms were fixed. In the new method, the subevent mechanisms are determined from the data and are allowed to vary during the sequence. When subevent mechanisms are allowed to vary, however, the inversion often becomes unstable because of the complex trade-offs between the mechanism, the timing, and the location of the subevents. Many different subevent sequences can explain the same data equally well, and it is important to determine the range of allowable solutions. Some constraints must be imposed on the solution to stabilize the inversion. We have developed a procedure to explore the range of allowable solutions and appropriate constraints. In this procedure, a network of grid points is constructed on the τ - I plane, where τ and I are, respectively, the onset time and the distance from the epicenter of a subevent; the best-fit subevent is determined at all grid points. Then the correlation is computed between the synthetic waveform for each subevent and the observed waveform. The correlation as a function of τ and I and the best-fit mechanisms computed at each τ - I grid point depict the character of allowable solutions and facilitate a decision on the appropriate constraints to be imposed on the solution. The method is illustrated using the data for the 1976 Guatemala earthquake.
Optimization of internal migration as a mechanism for solving the problems of monotowns in Sverdlovsk region

The problems of single-industry towns and their solutions are reviewed in this paper. The analysis of internal mobility of the population of Russia on the basis of sociological research and Gallup International Research Institute of the family is made. The necessity of optimization of commuting between the territories of the municipal level to address the one-company towns is underlined. A mathematical model for the optimization of the problem of migration flows between the territories of the municipal level for commuting by road was developed. Testing was conducted on a model example of the six type-representative singleindustry towns of Sverdlovsk region (Revdinskiy district, VerkhnyayaPyshma, towns of Krasnoturinsk, Krasnouralsk, Serov and Sukhoi Log). Taking into account the current situation on the labor market and future labor requirements, a division of municipalities in the territory of employment and departure of migrants was performed under consideration. An optimal plan was constructed in areas of employment in company towns of Sverdlovsk region, which is designed to implement the scheme of traffic from the north to the south of Sverdlovsk region with the organization of interchange hub in the city of Yekaterinburg.
De la transcripción y otros aspectos artesanales de la investigación cualitativa

Resumen: El articulo procura contribuir a salvar la brecha entre el discurso oral y sus versiones escritas. Examina las formas de llevar a cabo la grabacion y transcripcion, no solo para prevenir distorsiones importantes, sino tambien para destacar el caracter inevitablemente interpretativo de toda transcripcion. Enfatiza especiamente los procedimientos artesanales por cuanto muchos estudiantes e investigadores en paises no industrializados tienen poco acceso a la tecnologia especifica (tanto por razones economicas como de idioma), que aunque no elimina totalmente la intervencion humana, ciertamente simplifica las tareas a ejecutar. Ademas describe una forma accesible de hacer tablas discursivas usando un conocido procesador de palabras y discute los grados y limitaciones de la edicion o intervencion del texto transcrito.
Ontologia como recurso de padronização terminológica no processo de recuperação de informação

O processo de recuperacao de informacao envolve um acervo documental que deve ser representado por expressoes linguisticas e usuarios que tentam descrever linguisticamente as suas necessidades de informacao a fim de obterem documentos relevantes para satisfazer tais necessidades. Um sistema de recuperacao de informacao e, portanto, um ambiente linguistico mediador na comunicacao entre um estoque de informacao e seus requisitantes. Sua eficiencia depende de um controle adequado da linguagem de representacao dos itens de informacao e das requisicoes dos usuarios. Este trabalho apresenta um metodo de utilizacao de ontologias na recuperacao de informacao. Utiliza-se o Modelo Espaco Vetorial como estrutura formal para a representacao dos documentos e das buscas dos usuarios. Os vetores dos documentos sao criados durante o processo de indexacao automatica no qual uma ontologia fornece novos termos alem daqueles extraidos do texto, enriquecendo, assim a representacao do documento. O vetor de busca e criado a partir de um processo de expansao de consulta no qual, a partir de inferencias em uma ontologia, novos termos sao inseridos na expressao de busca inicialmente formulada pelo usuario. Pretende-se com isso uniformizar as representacoes dos documentos e das buscas, melhorando assim a precisao do processo de recuperacao de informacao.
Certain subordination results involving a generalized multiplier transformation operator

This paper investigates various new subordination results for certain p -valent analytic functions involving a generalized multiplier transformation operator Jm p (λ , l),m ∈ Z, defined recently by J. K. Prajapat [Math. Comput. Modelling, 55 (2012), 1456–1465]. Several lines of approach are followed to obtain the subordination results. We also consider some simpler and precise forms of the derived results.

Operator scaled Wiener bridges

We introduce operator scaled Wiener bridges by incorporating a matrix scaling in the drift part of the SDE of a multidimensional Wiener bridge. A sufficient condition for the bridge property of the SDE solution is derived in terms of the eigenvalues of the scaling matrix. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the bridges and briefly discuss the question whether the scaling matrix determines uniquely the law of the corresponding bridge.
A gas-rich disk around DX Cha

Abstract DX Cha (HD 104237) is a southern, optically bright Herbig Ae star with an infrared excess, that is part of a small stellar group younger than 5 Myr. We used the APEX and ASTE submillimeter telescopes in Chile to search for continuum and gas emission around this system. Using LABOCA on APEX we detect strong continuum emission around HD104237-A and system component HD104237-E. Our ASTE spectrum detects a double-peaked 12CO(3-2) line profile towards the system, typical of a rotating disk. The new data are used as constraints with MCFOST to produce a disk model that fits the entire SED as well as the observed CO line profile.
