In a parallel time-interleaved data sampling system, timing and amplitude mismatches of this structure degrade the performance of the whole ADC system. In this paper, an adaptive blind synthesis calibration algorithm is proposed, which could estimate the timing, gain and offset errors simultaneously, and calibrate automatically. With no need of an extra calibration signal and redesign, it could...

When redundancy of seismic data exists factorial cokriging enables the estimation of (1) a common part, based on the common spatial behavior, and (2) the differences relative to the common part of the input data. Coléou (2002) first introduced the automatic implementation of factorial co-kriging (AFACK) as a filtering technique for the time-lapse (4D) processing sequence. It was specifically de...

We studied flying zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata, N = 12), to provide a new test of a long-standing ;fixed-gear' hypothesis that flap-bounding birds use only intermittent non-flapping phases, instead of variation in muscle activity, to vary mechanical power output in flight. Using sonomicrometry and electromyography, we measured in vivo fascicle length and neuromuscular recruitment in the pec...

bstract—Simple and complex cells are two basic and inct functional types of neurons in the mammalian prim isual cortex. Here, we studied the onset response and ffset response of simple and complex cells to a flas isual stimulus in the cat’s area 17. Compared with si ells, complex cells exhibited greater similarity between nset and offset responses in peak latency. For simple c nset response had...

as partial offset volumes to exploit the AVO information in the data. However, there has been significant asymmetry in the way these volumes could be calibrated and inverted. The amplitudes of near-offset, or intercept, stacks relate to changes in acoustic impedance and can be tied to well logs using synthetics based on acoustic impedance (AI) or inverted, to some extent, back to AI using posts...

[1] Experiments at the ionospheric heating facility of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) are performed employing dual HF beams amplitude modulated at ELF/VLF with a phase offset between the two modulation waveforms. The amplitude of the observed ELF/VLF waves is strongly dependent on the imposed ELF/VLF phase offset, the modulation waveform, and the orientation of the H...

The caudal fastigial nucleus (cFN) is a major nucleus by which the cerebellum influences the accuracy of saccades. In head-restrained monkeys generating saccades from a fixation light-emitting diode (LED) toward a flashed target LED, we analyzed the effects of unilateral pharmacological inactivation of cFN on horizontal, vertical, and oblique saccades. When animals were viewing the fixation LED...
