Prediction of banana quality indices from color features using support vector regression
2015
Banana undergoes significant quality indices and color transformations during shelf-life process, which in turn affect important chemical and physical characteristics for the organoleptic quality of banana. A computer vision system was implemented in order to evaluate color of banana in RGB, L*a*b* and HSV color spaces, and changes in color features of banana during shelf-life were employed for the quantitative prediction of quality indices. The radial basis function (RBF) was applied as the kernel function of support vector regression (SVR) and the color features, in different color spaces, were selected as the inputs of the model, being determined total soluble solids, pH, titratable acid…
A Review of Kernel Methods in ECG Signal Classification
2011
Kernel methods have been shown to be effective in the analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. These techniques provide a consistent and well-founded theoretical framework for developing nonlinear algorithms. Kernel methods exhibit useful properties when applied to challenging design scenarios, such as: (1) when dealing with low number of (potentially high dimensional) training samples; (2) in the presence of heterogenous multimodalities; and (3) with different noise sources in the data. These characteristics are particularly appropriate for biomedical signal processing and analysis, and hence, the widespread of these techniques in biomedical signal processing in general, and in ECG dat…
Applications of Kernel Methods
2009
In this chapter, we give a survey of applications of the kernel methods introduced in the previous chapter. We focus on different application domains that are particularly active in both direct application of well-known kernel methods, and in new algorithmic developments suited to a particular problem. In particular, we consider the following application fields: biomedical engineering (comprising both biological signal processing and bioinformatics), communications, signal, speech and image processing.

2021
We greatly acknowledge the financial support via the ERAF Project No. 1.1.1.1/18/A/073. Calculations were performed using Latvian Super Cluster (LASC), located in the Center of Excellence at Institute of Solid State Physics, the University of Latvia, which is supported by European Union Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-Teaming Phase 2 under Grant Agreement No. 739508, project CAMART.
Water interaction with perfect and fluorine-doped Co3O4 (100) surface
2015
Abstract We report the results of theoretical investigations of water adsorption on undoped and fluorine-doped Co3O4 (100) surface by means of the plane-wave periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with the Hubbard-U approach and statistical thermodynamics. We discuss the effect of fluorine-doping of the Co3O4 (100) surface and calculated oxygen evolution reaction overpotential based on the Gibbs free-energy diagram of undoped and F-doped surfaces.
Efficient Analysis of Arbitrarily Shaped Inductive Obstacles in Rectangular Waveguides Using a Surface Integral Equation Formulation
2007
In this paper we propose to use the Surface Integral Equation technique for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped Hplane obstacles in rectangular waveguides, which can contain both metallic and/or dielectric objects. The Green functions are formulated using both spectral and spatial images series, whose convergence behavior has been improved through several acceleration techniques. Proceeding in this way, the convergence of the series is not attached to the employment of any particular basis or test function, thus consequently increasing the flexibility of the implemented technique. In order to test the accuracy and numerical efficiency of the proposed method, results for practical microwave c…
Ab initiomodeling of surface structure forSrTiO3perovskite crystals
2001
We present and discuss the results of calculations of ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ (100) surface relaxation and rumpling with two different terminations (SrO and ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}).$ These are based on ab initio Hartree-Fock method with electron correlation corrections and density functional theory calculations with different exchange-correlation functionals, including hybrid exchange techniques. Both approaches use the localized Gaussian-type basis set. All methods agree well on surface energies and on atomic displacements, as well as on considerable increase of covalency effects nearby the surface. More detailed experiments on surface rumpling and relaxation are necessary for further testing …
Space partitioning of exchange-correlation functionals with the projector augmented-wave method
2018
We implement a Becke fuzzy cells type space partitioning scheme for the purposes of exchange-correlation within the GPAW projector augmented-wave method based density functional theory code. Space partitioning is needed in the situation where one needs to treat different parts of a combined system with different exchange-correlation functionals. For example, bulk and surface regions of a system could be treated with functionals that are specifically designed to capture the distinct physics of those regions. Here, we use the space partitioning scheme to implement the quasi-nonuniform exchange-correlation scheme, which is a useful practical approach for calculating metallic alloys on the gene…

Calculations of Surface Structure for SrTiO3 Perovskite
2001
ABSTRACTWe present and discuss results of the calculations for SrTiO3 (100) surface relaxation with different terminations (SrO and TiO2) using a semi-empirical shell model (SM) as well as abinitio methods based on Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) formalisms. Using the SM, the positions of atoms in 16 near-surface layers placed atop a slab of rigid ions are optimized. This permits us determination of surface rumpling and surfaceinduced dipole moments (polarization) for different terminations. We also compare results of the ab initio calculations based on both HF with the DFT-type electroncorrelation corrections, several DFT with different exchange-correlation functional…
