Hall Graph of a Finite Group

The Hall graph of a finite group $G$ is a simple graph whose vertex set is $\pi(G)$, the set of all prime divisors of its order, and two distinct primes $p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge if $G$ has at least one Hall $\{p, q\}$-subgroup. For all primes $p_

On subgroups in division rings of type 22

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$. We say that $D$ is a {\em division ring of type $2$} if for every two elements $x, y\in D,$ the division subring $F(x, y)$ is a finite dimensional vector space over $F$. In this paper we investigate multiplicative subgroups in such a ring.Comment: 10 pages, 0 figure

HEVC based Multi-View Video Codec using Frame Interleaving technique

this paper presents a HEVC based multi-view video codec. The frames of the multi-view videos are interleaved to generate a monoscopic video sequence. The interleaving is conducted in a way to increase the exploitation of the temporal and inter-views correlations. The MV-HEVC standard codec is configured to work as a single layered codec, which functions as a monoscipic HEVC codec with AVC capabilities, and used to encode interleaved multi-view video frames. The performance of the codec is compared with the anchor standard MV-HEVC codec by coding the three standard multi-view video sequences: “Balloon”, “Kendo” and “Newspaper1”. Experimental results show the proposed codec out performs the anchor standard MV-HEVC codec in term of bitrate and PSNR

Landslide monitoring using insar time-series and GPS observations, case study: Shabkola landslide in northern Iran

Shabkola is a village located in Mazandaran province of northern Iran that suffers from the mass movement happening in the upstream. Deforestation and changes to land use are the main reasons for the soil instability in this region, which together with steep slope, relatively high precipitation rate and natural erosion has led to such a condition. The area of mass movement is approximately 90 hectares which is a big threat for people living in the region. In this study, we have utilized two different geodetic techniques including InSAR time-series analysis and GPS measurements to assess slope stability in Shabkola. The SAR dataset includes 19 ALOS/PALSAR images spanning from July 2007 to February 2011 while GPS observations are collected in 5 campaigns from September 2011 to May 2014. Displacement as much as approximately 11.7 m in slope direction was detected by GPS observations for the 2011-2014 time period. Most of the slope geometry is in north-south direction, for which the sensitivity of InSAR for displacement detection is low. However, ALOS PALSAR data analysis revealed a previously unknown landslide, covered by dense vegetation in the northern part of main Shabkola landslide, showing line-of-sight velocity of approximately 2cm/year in the time period 2007-2011
