With wide applications of Turbo Principle in communications engineering, the EXIT Charts (Extrinsic Information Transfer Charts) has been a powerful tool to visualize the convergence behavior of iterative decoding process based on mutual information. Within this report, an introduction to EXIT Charts, its background, properties and applications are presented to allow the audience be familiar wi...

Exit is a ubiquitous feature of life, whether breaking up in a marriage, dropping a college course, or pulling out of a venture capital investment. In fact, our exit options often determine whether and how we enter in the first place. While legal scholarship is replete with studies of exit strategies for businesses and individuals, administrative law scholarship has barely touched the topic of ...

We study the gradient method under assumption that an additively inexact is available for, generally speaking, non-convex problems. The non-convexity of objective function, as well use inexactness specified at iterations, can lead to various For example, trajectory may be far enough away from starting point. On other hand, unbounded removal in presence noise desired global solution. results inv...

BACKGROUND Early exit (drop-out) from drug treatment can mean that drug users do not derive the full benefits that treatment potentially offers. Additionally, it may mean that scarce treatment resources are used inefficiently. Understanding the factors that lead to early exit from treatment should enable services to operate more effectively and better reduce drug related harm. To date, few stud...

PROBLEM ROBERT S. MAIER AND DANIEL L. STEINy Abstract. Consider a two-dimensional continuous-time dynamical system, with an attracting fixed point S. If the deterministic dynamics are perturbed by white noise (random perturbations) of strength , the system state will eventually leave the domain of attraction of S. We analyse the case when, as ! 0, the exit location on the boundary @ is increasi...

OBJECTIVES To investigate if favourable psychosocial working conditions can reduce the risk of work exit and specifically for workers with chronic disease. METHODS Men and women (32%) aged 35-55, working and having no chronic disease at baseline of the Whitehall II study of London-based civil servants were selected (n=9040). We observed participants' exit from work through retirement, health-...

This work deals with the optimal design for location of exit doors at meeting places (such as sports centers, public squares, street markets, transport stations, etc.) to guarantee a safer emergency evacuation in events sporting, social, entertainment or religious type. problem is stated an control nonlinear partial differential equations, where state system reformulation Hughes model (coupling...

The graceful exit transition from a dilaton-driven inflationary phase to a decelerated Friedmann−Robertson−Walker era requires certain classical and quantum corrections to the string effective action. Classical corrections can stabilize a high curvature string phase while the evolution is still in the weakly coupled regime, and quantum corrections can induce violation of the null energy conditi...

A graceful labelling of a graph with n edges is a vertex labelling where the induced set of edge weights is {1, . . . , n}. A near graceful labelling is almost the same, the difference being that the edge weights are {1, 2, . . . , n − 1, n + 1}. In both cases, the weight of an edge is the absolute difference between its two vertex labels. Rosa [8] in 1988 conjectured that all triangular cacti ...
