OBJECTIVE We explored the associations between sensory processing and classroom emotional, behavioral, and educational outcomes of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHOD Twenty-eight children with ASD (with average-range IQ) were compared with 51 age- and gender-matched typically developing peers on sensory processing and educational outcomes. RESULTS For children with ASD, th...

We investigate the behaviour of the continuous wavelet and Gabor coefficients in the asymptotic limit, using stationary phase approximations. In particular, we show how, under some additional assumptions, these coefficients allow the extraction of some characteristics of the analysed signal, like for example frequency and amplitude modulation laws. We also briefly discuss applications to spectr...

This report discusses the implementation of the Radon transform in the Analysts’ Detection Support System (ADSS) environment using non-equispaced Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs). It provides an analysis and experimental results for discretisation error and the use of matched filtering to enhance peaks in the transform. APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

The ubiquitous adoption of XML as the standard of data exchange over the web has led to increased interest in building efficient and scalable XML publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems. The central function of an XML-based pub-sub system is to perform XML filtering efficiently, i.e. identify those XPath expressions that have a match in a streaming XML document. In this paper, we propose a new sequ...

Recommender systems make suggestions about products or services based on matching known or estimated preferences of users with properties of products or services (contentbased), or properties of other users considered to be similar (collaborative filtering). Collaborative filtering is widely used in Ecommerce. To generate accurate recommendations, the properties of a new user must be matched wi...

The search for gravitational-wave signals in detector data is often hampered by the fact that many data analysis methods are based on the theory of stationary Gaussian noise, while actual measurement data frequently exhibit clear departures from these assumptions. Deriving methods from models more closely reflecting the data’s properties promises to yield more sensitive procedures. The commonly...

This correspondence first shows that the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) derivations in the above paper are incorrect. In addition, contrary to the claims in the above paper, the assumptions of perfect timing offset estimation and matched-filtering at the relays affect the generality of the analytical results and cannot be justified assumption.

In information filtering documents are matched against user interest profiles. This is based on some measure for similarity or distance between a representation of documents and user profiles. Both the representation and the distance measure should make comparisons meaningful. A common problem is caused by closely related concepts that are considered independent in the representation model. Fur...

We present an overview of improvements in detection limit and responsivity of our biomimetic hair flow sensors by electrostatic spring-softening (ESS). Applying a DCbias voltage to our capacitive flow sensors improves the responsively by up to 80% for flow signals at frequencies below the sensor’s resonance. Application of frequency matched AC-bias voltages allows for tunable filtering and sele...
