Area distances of convex plane curves and improper affine spheres
(Siam Publications, 2008)
The area distance to a convex plane curve is an important concept in computer vision. In this paper we describe a strong link between area distances and improper affine spheres. Based on this link, we propose an extremely ...
When distance does not matter: implications for Latin American multinationals
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016-06)
Distance is an important concept for the study of international location decisions, but conflicting empirical results call for the investigation of when distance matters. Based on institutional distance, this conceptual ...
Dispersal traits drive the phylogenetic distance decay of similarity in Neotropical stream metacommunities
(2015-11-01)
Aim: The drivers of phylogenetic beta diversity include both local processes (e.g. environmental filtering) and regional processes (e.g. dispersal limitation). The role of environmental filtering can be investigated more ...
THE DISTANCES TO 5 TYPE-II SUPERNOVAE USING THE EXPANDING PHOTOSPHERE METHOD, AND THE VALUE OF HO
(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 1994-09-01)
We have used observations gathered at CTIO to measure distances by the expanding photosphere method (EPM) to five Type II supernovae. These supernovae lie at redshifts from cz = 1100 km s-1 to cz - 5500 km s-1, and increase ...
Measurement and graphic representation of cultural distances between Latin American countries
(Universidad Autónoma Estado de México, 2016)
Despite the central role of cultural distances in social sciences, literature is surprisingly scarce in quantitatively measuring and graphically representing this concept in Latin America. This study addresses this issue ...
Adaptive computation of the swap-insert correction distance
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018)
The Swap-Insert Correction distance from a string S of length n to another string L of length m≥n on the alphabet [1.δ] is the minimum number of insertions, and swaps of pairs of adjacent symbols, converting S into L. ...
A STUDY ON THE POSSIBLE ONGOING DROPOUT CAUSES OF BACHELOR IN EDUCATION THE DISTANCE
(Unesp-faculdade Ciencias & Letras, 2016-09-01)
This study aimed to investigate which were the possible causes that influenced the distance learning courses dropouts from the students'perceptions. For this, it was carried out a descriptive exploratory study using a ...
A New Family of Distance Functions for Perceptual Similarity Retrieval of Medical Images
(SPRINGER, 2009)
A long-standing challenge of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems is the definition of a suitable distance function to measure the similarity between images in an application context which complies with the human ...
