A transmitter antenna array has the ability to direct data simultaneously to multiple
receivers within a wireless network, creating potential for a more integrated view of
algorithmic system components. In this thesis, such a perspective informs the design
of two…

There are multiple sorts of reasoning by analogy between two domains; the one with which we are concerned is a type of contextual analogy. The purpose of this paper is to see whether two domains that look analogous would be…

Humans recognize optical reflectance properties of surfaces such as metal, plastic, or paper from a single image without knowledge of illumination. We develop a machine vision system to perform similar recognition tasks automatically. Reflectance estimation under unknown, arbitrary illumination proves…

The FAA is developing the Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) to replace ground-based navigation aids as the primary means of aircraft precision approaches. Stringent requirements on the integrity of the system have caused significant delays and raised questions about the…

Las recientes reformas curriculares para formar al docente de geografía y ciencias de la tierra, pretenden que enseñe acorde con los retos y desafíos del mundo contemporáneo. El problema es que el educador solo se dedica a dar clase para…

En este trabajo se investigan nuevas distancias entre fonemas y entre palabras que se
han usado para predecir si dos palabras del vocabulario de un sistema de reconocimiento del
habla se van a confundir o no. La distancia entre palabras…

Aujourd’hui, il existe très peu de nouveaux produits écoconçus (NPE) mis sur le marché par les PME du Québec et les réussites commerciales sont encore plus rares. Dans ce contexte, il semble pertinent de se pencher sur la manière dont…
