Ab initio Calculations of Bulk and (001) Surface F-centers in ABO3 Perovskites
2021
We analyzed systematic trends in BaTiO 3, SrTiO 3 , PbZrO 3 and SrZrO 3 bulk as well as very rarely performed (001) surface F-center ab initio calculations. The nearest neighbor atomic displacements around the bulk F-center in the ABO 3 perovskites are considerably smaller than the relevant neighbor atomic displacements around the (001) surface $F$ -centers. The $F$ -center electrons are more delocalized for the ABO 3 perovskite (001) surface $F$ -center than for the bulk $F$ -center. Our calculated formation energy differences between the BaTiO 3 , SrTiO 3 , PbZrO 3 and SrZrO 3 bulk and its (001) surface $F$ -centers triggers the $F$ -center segregation from the bulk crystal towards the AB…
Continuous Phase Transitions at Surfaces of CuAu Alloy Models — A Monte Carlo Study of Surface Induced Order and Disorder
1996
The influence of surface on phase transitions has found significant attention in recent years, and a number of excellent reviews exists. [1, 2, 3] A variety of complex phenomena occur which are also related to the physics of adsorption and wetting. The scenario of wetting requires three distinct phases, for instance the vacuum, the bulk phase and a third phase intervening in between at equilibrium. In case of surface induced disorder (SID, a film of disordered layers at the surface “wets” the bulk phase as the temperature approaches the bulk transition temperature T c,b. The transition at the surface may be continuous (standard critical wetting phenomena), and, as theoretically investigated…
Normal and Abnormal Tissue Classification in Positron Emission Tomography Oncological Studies
2018
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging is increasingly used in radiotherapy environment as well as for staging and assessing treatment response. The ability to classify PET tissues, as normal versus abnormal tissues, is crucial for medical analysis and interpretation. For this reason, a system for classifying PET area is implemented and validated. The proposed classification is carried out using k-nearest neighbor (KNN) method with the stratified K-Fold Cross-Validation strategy to enhance the classifier reliability. A dataset of eighty oncological patients are collected for system training and validation. For every patient, lesion (abnormal tissue) and background (normal tissue around …
On using prototype reduction schemes to optimize locally linear reconstruction methods
2012
Authors version of an article published in the journal: Pattern Recognition. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2011.06.021 This paper concerns the use of prototype reduction schemes (PRS) to optimize the computations involved in typical k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) rules. These rules have been successfully used for decades in statistical pattern recognition (PR) [1,15] applications and are particularly effective for density estimation, classification, and regression because of the known error bounds that they possess. For a given data point of unknown identity, the k-NN possesses the phenomenon that it combines the information about the samples from a pri…
Cluster matching in time resolved imaging for VLSI analysis
2014
International audience; If scaling has the benefit of enabling manufacturers to design tomorrow's integrated circuits, from the failure analyst point of view it also has the drawback of making devices more complex. The test sequence for modern VLSI can be quite long, with thousands of vector. Dynamic photon emission databases can contain millions of photons representing thousands of state changes in the region of interest. Finding a candidate location where to perform physical analysis is quite challenging, especially if the fault occurs on a single vector. In this paper, we suggest a new methodology to find single vector fault in dynamic photon emission database. The process is applied at …
Assessment Of Driving Stress Through SVM And KNN Classifiers On Multi-Domain Physiological Data
2022
We propose an objective stress assessment method based on the extraction of features from physiological time series and their classification using Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors algorithms. For this purpose, we used an open dataset consisting of multiparametric physiological signals (electrocardiogram, electromyogram, galvanic skin response and breath signal) obtained during the execution of a driving route within the city of Boston with restful, highway and city driving periods indicative of three different stress states. To predict the driver stress level, 21 features were extracted from 122 chunks of raw signals and were subsequently managed by classification algorithms. …
Comprehensive Strategy for Proton Chemical Shift Prediction: Linear Prediction with Nonlinear Corrections
2014
A fast 3D/4D structure-sensitive procedure was developed and assessed for the chemical shift prediction of protons bonded to sp3carbons, which poses the maybe greatest challenge in the NMR spectral parameter prediction. The LPNC (Linear Prediction with Nonlinear Corrections) approach combines three well-established multivariate methods viz. the principal component regression (PCR), the random forest (RF) algorithm, and the k nearest neighbors (kNN) method. The role of RF is to find nonlinear corrections for the PCR predicted shifts, while kNN is used to take full advantage of similar chemical environments. Two basic molecular models were also compared and discussed: in the MC model the desc…
Radio frequency fingerprinting for outdoor user equipment localization
2017
The recent advancements in cellular mobile technology and smart phone usage have opened opportunities for researchers and commercial companies to develop ubiquitous low cost localization systems. Radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting is a popular positioning technique which uses radio signal strength (RSS) values from already existing infrastructures to provide satisfactory user positioning accuracy in indoor and densely built outdoor urban areas where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal is poor and hard to reach. However a major requirement for the RF fingerprinting to maintain good localization accuracy is the collection and updating of large training database. The Minimization…
Cluster-Based RF Fingerprint Positioning Using LTE and WLAN Outdoor Signals
2015
In this paper we evaluate user-equipment (UE) positioning performance of three cluster-based RF fingerprinting methods using LTE and WLAN signals. Real-life LTE and WLAN data were collected for the evaluation purpose using consumer cellular-mobile handset utilizing ‘Nemo Handy’ drive test software tool. Test results of cluster-based methods were compared to the conventional grid-based RF fingerprinting. The cluster-based methods do not require grid-cell layout and training signature formation as compared to the gridbased method. They utilize LTE cell-ID searching technique to reduce the search space for clustering operation. Thus UE position estimation is done in short time with less comput…
