Phased haplotype sequences are a key component in many population genetic analyses since variation in haplotypes reflects the action of recombination, selection, and changes in population size. In humans, haplotypes are typically estimated from unphased sequence or genotyping data using statistical models applied to large reference panels. To assess the importance of correct haplotype phase on ...

The National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) phased array radar will not be operated in fixed volume coverage patterns. Instead, the phased array radar will attempt to simultaneously maximize the utility of several possible uses, such as 3D storm analysis, area surveillance and aircraft tracking. In order to do so, the phased array radar will employ adaptive scanning and intersperse meteorological...

The paper describes an in-situ method for damage detection using phased arrays of piezoelectric wafers active sensors (PWAS) that are permanently attached to the structure. The method uses scanning beams of guided waves that can travel at large distances with little energy loss and hence permit the interrogation of large structural areas from a single location. The novelty of the present method...

In this work we first review the (phased) inverse scattering problem and then pursue the phaseless reconstruction from far-field data with the help of the concept of scattering coefficients. We perform sensitivity, resolution, and stability analysis of both phased and phaseless problems and compare the degree of ill-posedness of the phased and phaseless reconstructions. The phaseless reconstruc...

The theory and simulation studies were developed to analyze the far-field sound field control effect of the low-frequency phased array emitting the different weight vectors. Firstly, combining the adiabatic normal mode theory, the sonar-target model excited by the phased array was derived. Based on the model, the relationship between the weight vector and the Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRB) of ti...

Integrated optical phased arrays for generating quasi-Bessel beams are proposed and experimentally demonstrated in a CMOS-compatible platform. Owing to their elongated central beams, Bessel beams have applications in a range of fields, including multiparticle trapping and laser lithography. In this Letter, continuous Bessel theory is manipulated to formulate the phase and amplitude conditions n...

To solve the problem of water pressure fluctuation caused by the traditional double-acting intensifier, the paper has designed abrasive water-jet cutting machine based on phased intensifier as well as open numerical control system. The structure of cutting machine as well as the hardware structure and working principle of phased intensifier are introduced. The phased intensifier employs a const...

The spherically curved square element phased array design for ultrasound surgery was studied in several of its important aspects. A method for determining the spatial limitations of the multiple-foci region was developed for spherically curved phased arrays. The effects on the ultrasound fields of varying the phases and the amplitudes at control points were investigated. It was found that the p...

A sudden increase in dietary carbohydrate invariably increases the plasma levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglyceride. The present studies were designed to test the hypothesis that dietary carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia need not occur. In the first study we fed gradually increasing amounts of carbohydrate and gradually decreasing amounts of fat to eight subjects. T...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...
