In this paper, a method for through-wall human detection based on the singular values decomposition of the measurement matrices is presented. After demonstrating the sparsity of the matrices using CLEAN algorithm, an SVD algorithm based on Lanczos process is applied to compute their singular values. We also analyze the singular values of matrices constructed by difference square techniques for ...

This paper proposes an investigation of propagation behaviour of Ultra–Wide Bandwidth (UWB) signals in outdoor environments. Specifically, we first report on the results of an extensive measurement campaign that we have carried out in three selected scenarios, namely “forest”, “hilly” and “sub– urban” environments. Then, we present the statistical model that we have derived after post–processin...

We introduce pretty clean modules, extending the notion of clean modules by Dress, and show that pretty clean modules are sequentially CohenMacaulay. We also extend a theorem of Dress on shellable simplicial complexes to multicomplexes.

The Precautionary Principle provides a framework for action to protect human health and the environment in the face of uncertainty. The central premise of the precautionary principle is that when an activity poses threats of serious, irreversible harm to human health or the environment, we should act to prevent that damage – even if science has not fully worked out the details of the relevant c...

Nowadays, there is great concern about obtaining clean energy. Governments around the world are boosting renewable energy resources. Oceans provide abundant resources, including tidal, wave, and current It seems that ocean currents one of most promising ways to obtain from oceans. The goal this paper assess hydrokinetic power potential in three different areas Spanish coast using a novel turbin...

We present a study of weak lensing shear measurements for simulated galaxy images at radio wavelengths. We construct a simulation pipeline into which we can input galaxy images of known shapelet ellipticity, and with which we then simulate observations with eMERLIN and the international LOFAR array. The simulations include the effects of the CLEAN algorithm, uv sampling, observing angle, and vi...

In this paper an experimental characterization of a typical indoor wireless propagation channel is performed. This channel characterization is needed for short range applications (<10m), utilizing Ultra-Wideband Impulse Radio (UWB-IR) techniques. Both the line of sight (LOS) and the non line of sight (NLOS) scenarios are taken into account. The characterization is done using time domain measure...
