Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector | 2009-08-20 | Pitney Bowes |
| Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where tax
receipts are naturally suppressed, provides very serious
funding challenges. Moreover, in good times and bad, increasing regulation at the regional and national level is imposing additional duties and responsibilities on the public services without additional resources to carry them out. Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change is
increasing demand for health and social services.
Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of international
terrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with lessÂquite a challenge.

Data Analysis and Reduction Using Stationary Solutions of the NLS Equation | 2009-08-12 | University of Washington |
| This paper demonstrates that the stationary solutions of the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation (NLS) can be used as an orthonormal basis for the square integrable functions with periodic boundary conditions. This allows one to use these solutions in much the same way as regular Fourier modes or other basis sets. For instance, one shows the applicability of the NLS basis set for doing data analysis, and as a means for obtaining reduced models. Using a variety of examples, one shows that working with the NLS basis set is advantageous over working with the set of Fourier modes, which it contains as a special case.
