A new technique for landslide mapping from a large-scale remote sensed image: A case study of Central Nepal

Software birthmark is a unique quality of software to detect software theft. Comparing birthmarks of software can tell us whether a program or software is a copy of another. Software theft and piracy are rapidly increasing problems of copying, stealing, and misusing the software without proper permission, as mentioned in the desired license agreement. The estimation of birthmark can play a key role in understanding the effectiveness of a birthmark. In this paper, a new technique is presented to evaluate and estimate software birthmark based on the two most sought-after properties of birthmarks, that is, credibility and resilience. For this purpose, the concept of soft computing such as probabilistic and fuzzy computing has been taken into account and fuzzy logic is used to estimate properties of birthmark. The proposed fuzzy rule based technique is validated through a case study and the results show that the technique is successful in assessing the specified properties of the birthmark, its resilience and credibility. This, in turn, shows how much effort will be required to detect the originality of the software based on its birthmark.

A New Technique

It is clear that all the experience I had gained in writing the first four symphonies completely let me down in this one- for a completely new style demanded a new technique.Twenty-Five years ago a prominent Mahler enthusiast could describe the finale of Mahler's Fifth Symphony as ‘a windy, uninspired stretch of note-spinning, literally scraping the barrel in search of music’. Few people nowadays would subscribe to this view: indeed the upsurge of interest in the work of other ‘late Romantic’ composers has perhaps served to sharpen our admiration for Mahler's exceptional powers of invention and his no less extraordinary mastery of large-scale form. Yet we are not really any closer to explaining just how such extended works are held together and given shape, particularly in the absence of specific extra-musical concepts such as those of the ‘Wunderhorn’ symphonies.

A New Technique

Homoclinic bifurcations of both equilibria and periodic orbits are argued to be critical for understanding the dynamics of the Hindmarsh–Rose model in particular, as well as of some square-wave bursting models of neurons of the Hodgkin–Huxley type. They explain very well various transitions between the tonic spiking and bursting oscillations in the model. We present the approach that allows for constructing Poincaré return mapping via the averaging technique. We show that a modified model can exhibit the blue sky bifurcation, as well as, a bistability of the coexisting tonic spiking and bursting activities. A new technique for localizing a slow motion manifold and periodic orbits on it is also presented.
