Reducing the Dimensional Dependence for Rank-based Similarity Search
Abstract: In this paper, we try to introduce a data structure for k-NN search, the Rank Cover Tree (RCT). The pruning tests for RCT rely on the comparison of similarity values not on the other properties of the underlying space, such as the triangle inequality. Objects are selected according to their ranks with respect to the query object, allowing much tighter control on the overall execution costs. Theoretical analysis shows that …

Structural Integrity Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frames Under Progressive Collapse Scenarios
Abstract: This study examines how a tall reinforced concrete (RC) frame may gradually collapse under several column removal situations, such as edge, end, center, zigzag, and two-column failures. The study assesses the structural reaction based on displacement, inter-story drift, and Demand–Capacity Ratio (DCR) using nonlinear static pushover analysis carried out in ETABS. According to the analysis, the frame's stability is seriously jeopardized when two nearby columns and end columns are removed, …

A Novel Approach for Confidence Estimation using Support Vector Machines for More Accurate Value Prediction
Abstract: Data dependencies create hurdles in exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) among instructions. To overcome them, data value predictors are used which guess instructions’ result before it is actually executed. Thus, future instructions which depend on the outcome of that instruction executes sooner. But, since value prediction accuracy is very crucial in determining the amount of parallelism that can be exploited, confidence estimation is used along with it to lessen the value …

The Transient Response and Frequency Characteristics of Power Transformers having Non-uniform Winding Insulation
Abstract: This paper presents a Laplace-domain distributed-parameter technique for analyzing the transient and frequency response of power transformers having non-uniform winding insulation. Stronger winding insulation near the windings source side terminals is usually applied in order to mitigate the concentration of the transient voltage stresses close to these locations. This will result in a location-dependent inter-turn capacitance distribution. The suggested procedure for analyzing such windings is based on the cascade connection …
