A technique for exploiting deterministic chaos through Logistic Map (with DC component) and a Cubic Map (with no DC component) in a new digital communication has been proposed and demonstrated in presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) by Monte Carlo simulations. Biterror (BER) graphs were computed in order to compare the performance of the different modulation schemes. The best perfor...

homotopy groups π∗(Xλ)⊗Q for a family of topological spaces, once we know enough about their additive structure. This allows us to interpret the condition of realizing as an Ak map a multiple of a map f : S1 −→ G between two topological groups in terms of the existence of a rational Whitehead product of order k. Our main example will be when the Xλ are classifying spaces of symplectomorphism gr...

We study the first passage process of a spectrally-negative Markov additive process (MAP). The focus is on the background Markov chain at the times of the first passage. This process is a Markov chain itself with a transition rate matrix Λ. Assuming time-reversibility we show that all the eigenvalues of Λ are real with algebraic and geometric multiplicities being the same, which allows us to id...

SECTION 1 explains why randomizations in the Le Cam sense have advantages over Markov kernels for the definition of the Le Cam distance between statistical models. SECTION 2 derives several facts about linear functionals, the most important being the existence of a linear map that projects onto the space of countably additive measures. SECTION 3 uses the projection map from Section 2, and compa...

We consider the Banach-Mackey property for pairs of vector spaces E and E′ which are in duality. Let A be an algebra of sets and assume that P is an additive map from A into the projection operators on E. We define a continuous gliding hump property for the map P and show that pairs with this gliding hump property and another measure theoretic property are Banach-Mackey pairs,i.e., weakly bound...

Hypoxia has been reported to cause the significant enhancement of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct), which stabilizes at relatively high levels after an individual ascends to a high altitude. However, the quality of the suspended red blood cells (SRBCs) obtained from individuals at high altitudes such as Tibetan plateau migrants after storage has not been studied. In this study, we compared ...

Different mechanisms for the creation of strange non-chaotic dynamics in the quasiperiodically forced logistic map are studied. These routes to strange nonchaos are characterised through the behavior of the largest nontrivial Lyapunov exponent, as well as through the characteristic distributions of finite time Lyapunov exponents. Strange nonchaotic attractors can be created at a saddle–node bif...

Cell migration is modulated by regulatory molecules such as growth factors, oncogenes, and the tumor suppressor PTEN. We previously described inhibition of cell migration by PTEN and restoration of motility by focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and p130 Crk-associated substrate (p130(Cas)). We now report a novel pathway regulating random cell motility involving Shc and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) ...

BACKGROUND The effects of propofol, remifentanil, and their combination on phrenic nerve activity (PNA), resting heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and nociceptive cardiovascular responses were studied in rabbits. METHODS Basal anesthesia and constant blood gas tensions were maintained with alpha-chloralose and mechanical ventilation. PNA, HR, MAP, and maximum changes in HR and MA...
