  • In this article the problem of characterizing multivariate distributions, possessing certain conditional distributions that have the same form as the parent model, are considered. It is shown that the forms of such conditional distributions characterize some well known distributions like the multivariate exponential, multivariate Burr, multivariate Lomax etc.

  • Power consumption for paddle impeller in spherical and cylindrical agitated vessel was measured over a wide range of Reynolds number from laminar to turbulent flow regions. The power correlation was obtained for both spherical and cylindrical vessels, where the apparent diameter of the spherical vessel was equal to the diameter of the cylindrical vessel (height equal to its diameter and had the same volume as the spherical vessel). The power consumption well correlated with the experimental results of Nagata, et al. and Hixson-Baum. Also the critical Reynolds numbers was directly related to the transition coefficient $C_{tr}$ characterizing the transition from a laminar to a turbulent flow region in the correlation proposed here.

  • Traditional service-level agreements (SLAs), defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service availability to quantify the performance of Internet protocol (IP) backbone networks and capture the impact of routing dynamics on packet forwarding. Given a network topology and its link weights, we propose a novel technique to compute the associated service availability by taking into account transient routing dynamics and operational conditions, such as border gateway protocol (BGP) table size and traffic distributions. Even though there are numerous models for characterizing topologies, none of them provide insights on the expected performance perceived by end customers. Our simulations show that the amount of service disruption experienced by similar networks (i.e., with similar intrinsic properties such as average out-degree or network diameter) could be significantly different, making it imperative to use new metrics for characterizing networks. In the second part of the paper, we derive goodness factors based on service availability viewed from three perspectives: Ingress node (from one node to many destinations), link (traffic traversing a link), and network-wide (across all source-destination pairs). We show how goodness factors can be used in various applications and describe our numerical results.

  • In recent years, the importance of the characterization of fall for a fracture prevention system keeps increasing since fracture from a fall can lead to serious health problems. Fall is one of the major sources which increase morbidity in elderly people. In terms of the cost and the influence to the quality of life, the most serious injury with hip fractures is caused by falls. The traditional methods in characterizing fall patterns have been mainly by the epidemiological surveys. With surveys, the exact data of fall patterns can not been acquired. In this paper, we measured and analyzed with the parameters related to fall pattern such as velocities and accelerations during the motion of falls using 3D motion capture program. We acquired the parameters of the fall pattern of intentional and unexpected fall. The result showed that the variation of velocity and acceleration during fall was very important in characterizing fall pattern, which of vital importance for the development of a fracture prevention system and for the safety of the elderly.

  • Opinion Mining is one of the application domains of text mining which extracting opinions from documents, and much researches are currently underway. Most of related researches focused on the sentiment classification which classifies the documents into positive/negative opinions. However, there is a little interest in extracting the features characterizing the individual product. In this paper, we propose the technique classifying the opinion documents according to the product features, and selecting the those features characterizing each product. In the proposed method, we utilize the document clustering technique and develope a new algorithm for evaluating the similarity between documents. In addition, through experiments, we prove the usefulness of proposed method.
