Consensual And Hierarchical Classification Of Remotely Sensed Multispectral Images, Jaejoon Lee, Okan Ersoy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Classification of remotely sensed multispectral images involves assigning a class to each pixel which has similar characteristics with known land cover. This is the important step in remote sensing to extract information about the Earth's surface. Statistical methods and computational intelligence algorithms such as neural networks are commonly used for classification. However, no single classifier can be good for all kinds of multispectral images. To obtain consistent and improved results, consensual and hierarchical approaches are applied. The proposed method consists of nonlinear image filtering, different multiple classifiers which use statistical methods or hierarchical neural networks with rejection schemes, and a …

Airline Quality Rating 2006, Brent D. Bowen, Dean E. Headley

Airline Quality Rating Report

The Airline Quality Rating (AQR) was developed and first announced in early 1991 as an objective method for assessing airline quality on combined multiple performance criteria. This current report, the Airline Quality Rating 2006, reflects monthly Airline Quality Rating scores for calendar year 2005. AQR scores for 2005 are based on 15 elements in four major areas that focus on airline performance aspects important to air travel consumers.

The Airline Quality Rating 2006 is a summary of month-by-month quality ratings for U.S. airlines that have at least 1% of domestic passenger volume during 2005. Using the Airline Quality Rating system …

The Regenstrief Center For Healthcare Engineering: Designing, Implementing And Sustaining Interdisciplinary Solutions To Transform Healthcare Delivery Systems, Steve Witz, Joseph Pekny, Leroy Schwarz

RCHE Publications

With start-up funding provided by the Regenstrief Foundation, Purdue University has created the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering (RCHE) to design, implement, and sustain interdisciplinary solutions to improve the safety, quality, efficiency and accessibility of healthcare delivery systems. RCHE’s primary goal is to bring a systems-analysis approach to improving the processes of healthcare delivery, not to provide tools or techniques for medical research, diagnosis, or treatment. This article will describe RCHE’s business model; that is, how RCHE “engineers” interdisciplinary solutions, using the multiple perspectives of healthcare and multiple project time scales to organize and leverage healthcare delivery transformation. We then …

Laying The Foundation For A New Work On The Pseudo-Virgilian Culex, Lisa St. Louis

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper "Laying the Foundation for a New Work on the Pseudo-Virgilian Culex," Lisa St. Louis discusses work undertaken on a prolegomenon to a new edition of the pseudo-Virgilian poem Culex. Fifty manuscripts are selected according to criteria such as ownership, geographical area or membership in a group defined by previous scholars. The catalogue of manuscripts is carefully structured in order to include all information needed to locate a given manuscript and trace its history. Manuscripts are collated in detail and their variant readings are entered into Adain software which is designed to determine the relationship between manuscripts. The …

Chaos Theory, Hypertext, And Reading Borges And Moulthrop, Perla Sassón-Henry

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper "Chaos Theory, Hypertext, and Reading Borges and Moulthrop," Perla Sassón-Henry presents a multidisciplinary perspective to the study of Jorge Luis Borges's and Stuart Moulthrop's works. Sassón-Henry argues that there exists a tripartite relationship among Borges's texts, Moulthrop's Victory Garden, and chaos theory. The dialogue among these texts via chaos theory, bifurcation theory, and noise is what separates this analysis from former studies. Sassón-Henry concludes that by underscoring the reciprocal interconnectedness among Borges's stories, Victory Garden, scientific theory, and new media technology we also acknowledge the intricate connections among print literature, digital literature, and science, and thus move …

Thermally Developing Flow And Heat Transfer In Rectangular Microchannels Of Different Aspect Ratios, Poh-Seng Lee, S V. Garimella

CTRC Research Publications

Laminar convective heat transfer in the entrance region of microchannels of rectangular cross-section is investigated under circumferentially uniform wall temperature and axially uniform wall heat flux thermal boundary conditions. Three-dimensional numerical simulations were performed for laminar thermally developing flow in microchannels of different aspect ratios. Based on the temperature and heat flux distributions obtained, both the local and average Nusselt numbers are presented graphically as a function of the dimensionless axial distance and channel aspect ratio. Generalized correlations, useful for the design and optimization of microchannel heat sinks and other microfluidic devices, are proposed for predicting Nusselt numbers. The proposed …

Meaningful Labeling Of Integrated Query Interfaces, Eduard Dragut, Clement Yu, Weiyi Meng

Cyber Center Publications

The contents of Web databases are accessed through queries formulated on complex user interfaces. In many domains of interest (e.g. Auto) users are interested in obtaining information from alternative sources. Thus, they have to access many individual Web databases via query interfaces. We aim to construct automatically a well-designed query interface that integrates a set of interfaces in the same domain. This will permit users to access information uniformly from multiple sources. Earlier research in this area includes matching attributes across multiple query interfaces in the same domain and grouping related attributes. In this paper, we investigate the naming of …
