Iterative Viterbi Algorithm for Con atenated Multi-dimensional TCM Qi Wang and Lei Wei Senior member, IEEE Abstra t| A novel ompound ode is designed for the popular multi-dimensional (M-D) Wei trellis ode [1℄ ombined with a simple parityhe k ode. Using the iterative Viterbi de oding algorithm, we an a hieve a remarkable performan e improvement with low omputational omplexity. Simulation results...

In this paper, we present a filtering technique that robustifies stabilizing controllers for systems composed of heterodirectional linear first-order hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) interconnected with Ordinary (ODEs) through their boundaries. The actuation is either available one the ODE or at boundary PDE. proposed framework covers broad general class systems. Assuming contro...

since the days of ignorance, ode in arabic literature has been written based on a specified system and poets and critics have used this defined structure as foundation of their works. arabic ode consists of several parts, each of which is an introduction to the next part; first verse of an ode is called matla'. after matla' are placed tashbib (to mention youth affairs) or nasib (soft ...

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are popular tools for modeling complicated dynamic systems in many areas. When multiple replicates of measurements are available for the dynamic process, it is of great interest to estimate mixed-effects in the ODE model for the process. We propose a semiparametric method to estimate mixed-effects ODE models. Rather than using the ODE numeric solution dire...

In the geometry of generic 2-plane fields on 5-manifolds, the local equivalence problem was solved by Cartan who also constructed the fundamental curvature invariant. For generic 2-plane fields or (2, 3, 5)-distributions determined by a single function of the form F (q), the vanishing condition for the curvature invariant is given by a 6 order nonlinear ODE. Furthermore, An and Nurowski showed ...

Functional cell-to-cell variability is ubiquitous in multicellular organisms as well as bacterial populations. Even genetically identical cells of the same cell type can respond differently to identical stimuli. Methods have been developed to analyse heterogeneous populations, e.g., mixture models and stochastic population models. The available methods are, however, either incapable of simultan...

Inhalation of organic dusts within agriculture environments contributes to the development and/or severity of airway diseases, including asthma and chronic bronchitis. MyD88 KO (knockout) mice are nearly completely protected against the inflammatory and bronchoconstriction effects induced by acute organic dust extract (ODE) treatments. However, the contribution of MyD88 in lung epithelial cell ...
