Recognition memory was tested for lists of 6 briefly (0.08 s) presented pictures at different interstimulus intervals (ISI) of 0.08, 1, and 4 s. Experiment 1 showed a 16% performance increase (ISI effect) for increasing ISI for travel slide but not kaleidoscope pictures. Experiment 2 showed that learning names for the kaleidoscope pictures then resulted in a substantial (20%) ISI effect, not at...

We examined the effects of interstimulus interval (ISI) and orientation changes on the haptic recognition of novel objects, using a sequential shape-matching task. The stimuli consisted of 36 wedge-shaped plastic objects that varied along two shape dimensions (hole/bump and dip/ridge). Two objects were presented at either the same orientation or a different orientation, separated by either a sh...

Filterbank precoding in the intersymbol interference (ISI) mitigation has recently attracted much attention. Two main areas of such research have been explored. One of them is on filterbank precoding when the ISI channel is known to both the transmitter and the receiver, while the other is on filterbank precoding when the ISI channel is not known to the transmitter or the receiver. This paper i...

An iterative technique is developed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to mitigate the residual intersymbol interference (ISI) that exceeds the length of the guard interval. The technique, called residual ISI cancellation (RISIC), uses a combination of tail cancellation and cyclic restoration and is shown to offer large performance improvements. The effects of imperfe...

When a fixed free-running crystal is used for sampling time generation at a DMT receiver, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) are introduced by sampling time error. The ICI becomes more serious as the DMT symbol length increases. In this letter, the effects of sampling clock offset are investigated in the time domain using a new notion of Inter-sample Interferen...

This research creates an architecture for investigating the existence of probable lexical divergences between articles, categorized as Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and non-ISI, and consequently, if such a difference is discovered, to propose the best available classification method. Based on a collection of ISIand non-ISI-indexed articles in the areas of business and computer scie...

The interspike interval (ISI) preceding a retinal spike has a strong influence on whether retinal spikes will drive postsynaptic responses in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). This ISI-based filtering of retinal spikes could, in principle, be used as a mechanism for processing visual information en route from retina to cortex; however, this form of processing has not been previously explore...

The ISI/USC machine translation system is a statistical system based on a phrase translation model that is trained on bilingual parallel data. This translation model is combined with several other knowledge sources in a log-linear manner. The weights of the individual components in the log-linear model are set by an automatic parameter-tuning method. The system described here has been developed...

The traditional method of sending a training signal to identify a channel, followed by data, may be viewed as a simple code for the unknown channel. Results in blind sequence detection suggest that performance similar to this traditional approach can be obtained without training. However, for short packets and/or time-recursive algorithms, signi cant error oors exist due to the existence of seq...

PURPOSE Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults in most developed countries. It affects eyes bilaterally and is generally believed to be symmetrical, yet there are few studies evaluating the symmetry of diabetic retinopathy. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the symmetry of the amount of peripheral retinal ischemia in patients with diabetic...
