The Harvard Organic Photovoltaic Dataset (HOPV15) presented in this work is a collation of experimental photovoltaic data from the literature, and corresponding quantum-chemical calculations performed over a range of conformers, each with quantum chemical results using a variety of density functionals and basis sets. It is anticipated that this dataset will be of use in both relating electronic...

Background: At present, there are only few objective quality criteria for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC). Method and Results: However, because this therapy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, such quality criteria are quite important. Accreditation of peritoneal carcinomatosis cen...

The Davies transformation is a method to transform the steering vector of a uniform circular array (UCA) to a vector with Vandermonde form. As this form is similar to that of the steering vector of a uniform linear array (ULA), we can apply to UCAs the many tools that have been developed for ULAs. However, the Davies transformation can be highly sensitive to perturbations of the underlying idea...

Cardiac output is often measured by indicator dilution techniques, usually based on dye or cold saline injections. Developments of more stable ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) are leading to new noninvasive indicator dilution methods. However, several problems concerning the interpretation of dilution curves as detected by ultrasound transducers have arisen. This paper presents a method for blo...

In this paper, we have proposed a hybrid transmission scheme which involves beam selection and antenna selection techniques over a MIMO system operating with vary antenna array. Optimal subset of transmit antennas are selected via fast successive selection scheme designed to optimize the target eigenbeam. Optimal eigenbeams corresponding to the largest singular values of the new MIMO channel fo...

Beamspace Root-MUSIC is a computationally efficient, beamspace implementation of Root-MUSIC developed recently for use in conjunction with a uniform linear array (ULA). Employing B real-valued beams having all but B-1 nulls in common, the major computations in Beamspace Root-MUSIC are a BxB real-valued eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) and the rooting of a polynomial of order B-1. Recently, Beamsp...

We consider the unrestricted, minimal, and bounded representation problems for unit interval (UIG) and unit circular-arc (UCA) graphs. In the unrestricted version, a proper circular-arc (PCA) modelM is given and the goal is to obtain an equivalent UCA model U . We show a linear time algorithm with negative certification that can also be implemented to run in logspace. In the bounded version,M i...
