[1] The ‘‘transition zone water filter’’ model of mantle convection attempts to reconcile geochemical evidence for isolated mantle reservoirs with geophysical evidence for whole mantle circulation by decoupling incompatible elements from bulk mantle circulation via a melt layer above the 410 km discontinuity. This would result in a stratified heating distribution similar to layered convection m...

the notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. the extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...

in this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twome...

Aims. As an extension of a previous work, we present a comparison of four methods of filtering solar-like variability to increase the efficiency of detection of Earth-like planetary transits by means of box-shaped transit finder algorithms. Two of these filtering methods are the harmonic fitting method and the iterative non-linear filter that, coupled respectively with the Box Least-Square (BLS...

In this paper, nonrecursive digital filter design using the exponential window is investigated [1,2]. The exponential window proposed by the author [3] has computational cost advantage compared to the well-known Kaiser window due to having no power series expansion in its time domain representation. First, the filter design equations for the exponential window to meet the given low pass filter ...

An orbit determination Kalman filter has been developed that uses two types of measurements of time division multiple access (TDMA) L-Band signals from satellites in low Earth orbit, a carrier phase measurement and a biased pseudorange measurement. This algorithm will enable precise orbit determination of satellites broadcasting TDMA signals not originally intended for navigation. The TDMA stru...
