Local procrustes for manifold embedding: a measure of embedding quality and embedding algorithms [PDF]
Machine Learning, 2009 We present the Procrustes measure, a novel measure based on Procrustes rotation that enables quantitative comparison of the output of manifold-based embedding algorithms (such as LLE (Roweis and Saul, 2000) and Isomap (Tenenbaum et al, 2000)). The measure also serves as a natural tool when choosing dimension-reduction parameters.

Optical Aspects on the Mineral Matrix – Fibre Bonding (Part 2)
Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2021 Concrete is one of the most used construction materials but there is also the need to continuously improve it. The high consumption of natural resources and energy when manufacturing cement demand a “greener” approach.

Effect of Wood Densification and GFRP Reinforcement on the Embedment Strength of Poplar CLT
Applied Sciences, 2023 Embedment strength is an important factor in the design and performance of connections in timber structures. This study assesses the embedment strength of lag screws in three-ply cross-laminated timber (CLT) composed of densified poplar wood with ...

Theoretical Computer Science, 2017 In this paper we study {\em terminal embeddings}, in which one is given a finite metric $(X,d_X)$ (or a graph $G=(V,E)$) and a subset $K \subseteq X$ of its points are designated as {\em terminals}. The objective is to embed the metric into a normed space, while approximately preserving all distances among pairs that contain a terminal.

Histoire d’un embarquement pluriel ou comment essayer de trouver un dehors, dedans
Socio-anthropologie, 2013 A story of a “plural embedment”: or how to find an outside, inside. This article is the singular narrative of a “plural embedment” that has taken place aboard a transoceanic expedition.

Effect of Physical Properties of Softwoods on Embedment Strength Performance of Self-tapping Screws
BioResources, 2023 The embedment strength performance of the self-tapping screw (STS) connector, used as a cross-laminated timber fastener, was evaluated considering tree species’ density and load direction as parameters.

THE TRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF POLYETHYLENE FILLED BY NANOPOWDER OF ALUMINUM OXIDE [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2016 The present study investigates the abrasive wear of surfaces subjected to abrasive contaminants. Polyethylene (PE) filled with nanoparticles of aluminum oxide were used as coating for steel specimens. Their effect on wear of moving surfaces contaminated

The embedded entrepreneur [PDF]
European Management Review, 2009 Abstract Using comprehensive data on the Danish population, this paper examines the determinants of entrepreneurs' choices of where to locate their new ventures. Our findings suggest that entrepreneurs place much more emphasis on being close to family and friends than on regional characteristics that might influence the performance of their ventures ...
