Modeling the high pH sensitivity of Suspended Gate Field Effect Transistor (SGFET)

High sensitivity to chemical species of sub-micron gap Suspended-Gate FETs (more than 200 mV/pH for example) is explained from the charge distribution induced by the high field in the sub-micronic gap under the gate-bridge. Modeling of Metal-Electrolyte-Insulator-Silicon (MEIS) capacitor, which is the basic vertical structure of the transistor, is performed to highlight this effect through the response to the pH change of the solution filling the gap. The analytical model is based on the 2D-numerical resolution of Poisson's equation. The response of quasi-static C(V) plots versus pH is simulated using both electrolyte charge distribution and site-binding theory considering the influence of sites densities on silicon nitride. Device modeling and simulated/experimental electrical characteristics are presented. Effect of the gap thickness on the pH sensitivity is also discussed in this study.     

Optimizing the execution of XSLT stylesheets for querying transformed XML data

We have to deal with different data formats whenever data formats evolve or data must be integrated from heterogeneous systems. These data when implemented in XML for data exchange cannot be shared freely among applications without data transformation. A common approach to solve this problem is to convert the entire XML data from their source format to the applications’ target formats using the transformations rules specified in XSLT stylesheets. However, in many cases, not all XML data are required to be transformed except for a smaller part described by a user’s query (application). In this paper, we present an approach that optimizes the execution time of an XSLT stylesheet for answering a given XPath query by modifying the XSLT stylesheet in such a way that it would (a) capture only the parts in the XML data that are relevant to the query and (b) process only those XSLT instructions that are relevant to the query. We prove the correctness of our optimization approach, analyze its complexity and present experimental results. The experimental results show that our approach performs the best in terms of execution time, especially when many cost-intensive XSLT instructions can be excluded in the XSLT stylesheet.

Assessment of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) aggregation methods for hydrological modeling: Lake Chad basin,Africa

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to compute the hydro-geomorphological variables required by distributed hydrological models. However, the resolution of the most precise DEMs is too fine to run these models over regional watersheds. DEMs therefore need to be aggregated to coarser resolutions, affecting both the representation of the land surface and the hydrological simulations. In the present paper, six algorithms (mean, median, mode, nearest neighbour, maximum and minimum) are used to aggregate the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM from 3″ (90 m) to 5′ (10 km) in order to simulate the water balance of the Lake Chad basin (2.5 Mkm²). Each of these methods is assessed with respect to selected hydro-geomorphological properties that influence Terrestrial Hydrology Model with Biogeochemistry (THMB) simulations, namely the drainage network, the Lake Chad bottom topography and the floodplain extent.The results show that mean and median methods produce a smoother representation of the topography. This smoothing involves the removing of the depressions governing the floodplain dynamics (floodplain area<5000 km²) but it eliminates the spikes and wells responsible for deviations regarding the drainage network. By contrast, using other aggregation methods, a rougher relief representation enables the simulation of a higher floodplain area (>14,000 km² with the maximum or nearest neighbour) but results in anomalies concerning the drainage network. An aggregation procedure based on a variographic analysis of the SRTM data is therefore suggested. This consists of preliminary filtering of the 3″ DEM in order to smooth spikes and wells, then resampling to 5′ via the nearest neighbour method so as to preserve the representation of depressions. With the resulting DEM, the drainage network, the Lake Chad bathymetric curves and the simulated floodplain hydrology are consistent with the observations (3% underestimation for simulated evaporation volumes).     

Simplicial powers of graphs

In a graph, a vertex is simplicial if its neighborhood is a clique. For an integer k≥1, a graph G=(V_G,E_G) is the k-simplicial power of a graph H=(V_H,E_H) (H a root graph of G) if V_G is the set of all simplicial vertices of H, and for all distinct vertices x and y in V_G, xyE_G if and only if the distance in H between x and y is at most k. This concept generalizes k-leaf powers introduced by Nishimura, Ragde and Thilikos which were motivated by the search for underlying phylogenetic trees; k-leaf powers are the k-simplicial powers of trees. Recently, a lot of work has been done on k-leaf powers and their roots as well as on their variants phylogenetic roots and Steiner roots. For k≤5, k-leaf powers can be recognized in linear time, and for k≤4, structural characterizations are known. For k≥6, the recognition and characterization problems of k-leaf powers are still open. Since trees and block graphs (i.e., connected graphs whose blocks are cliques) have very similar metric properties, it is natural to study k-simplicial powers of block graphs. We show that leaf powers of trees and simplicial powers of block graphs are closely related, and we study simplicial powers of other graph classes containing all trees such as ptolemaic graphs and strongly chordal graphs.

Fuzzy geographically weighted clustering using artificial bee colony: An efficient geo-demographic analysis algorithm and applications to the analysis of crime behavior in population

Geo-demographic analysis is an essential part of a geographical information system (GIS) for predicting people’s behavior based on statistical models and their residential location. Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering (FGWC) serves as one of the most efficient algorithms in geo-demographic analysis. Despite being an effective algorithm, FGWC is sensitive to initialize when the random selection of cluster centers makes the iterative process falling into the local optimal solution easily. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), one of the most popular meta-heuristic algorithms, can be regarded as the tool to achieve global optimization solutions. This research aims to propose a novel geo-demographic analysis algorithm that integrates FGWC to the optimization scheme of ABC for improving geo-demographic clustering accuracy. Experimental results on various datasets show that the clustering quality of the proposed algorithm called FGWC-ABC is better than those of other relevant methods. The proposed algorithm is also applied to a decision-making application for analyzing crime behavior problem in the population using the US communities and crime dataset. It provides fuzzy rules to determine the violent crime rate in terms of linguistic labels from socioeconomic variables. These results are significant to make predictions of further US violent crime rate and to facilitate appropriate decisions on prevention such the situations in the future.
