A 2-stratified graph G is a graph whose vertex set has been partitioned into two subsets, called the strata or color classes of G. Two 2-stratified graphs G and H are isomorphic if there exists a color-preserving isomorphism φ from G to H. A 2-stratified graph G is said to be homogeneously embedded in a 2-stratified graph H if for every vertex x of G and every vertex y of H, where x and y are c...

Data assimilation experiments are performed using an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) implemented for a twolayer spectral shallow water model at triangular truncation T100 representing an abstract planet covered by a strongly stratified fluid. Advantage is taken of the inherent parallelism in the EnKF by running each ensemble member on a different processor of a parallel computer. The Kalman filte...

[1] The ‘‘transition zone water filter’’ model of mantle convection attempts to reconcile geochemical evidence for isolated mantle reservoirs with geophysical evidence for whole mantle circulation by decoupling incompatible elements from bulk mantle circulation via a melt layer above the 410 km discontinuity. This would result in a stratified heating distribution similar to layered convection m...

We investigate the relationship between three-valued Kripke/Kleene semantics and stratified semantics for stratifiable logic programs. We first show these are compatible, in the sense that if the three-valued semantics assigns a classical truth value, the stratified approach will assign the same value. Next, the familiar fixed point semantics for pure Horn clause programs gives both smallest an...

Prentice & Pyke (1979) established that the maximum likelihood estimate of an odds ratio in a case-control study is the same as would be found by fitting a logistic regression; in other words, for this specific target the incorrect prospective model is inferentially equivalent to the correct retrospective model. Similar results have been obtained for other models, and conditions have also been ...

This paper describes a new low power l l l y differential secondorder continuous-time low pass filter for use at video frequencies. The filter uses a single active device in combination with MOSFET resistors and grounded capacitors to achieve very low power consumption, small chip area and large dynamic range. The ideal integrator is realised using an internally compensated opamp consisting of ...

In this paper, we show that an NPR M -channel filter bank with a diagonal system inserted between the analysis and synthesis filter banks may be used to decompose an FIR system of order L into M complex subband components each of order L K , where K is the downsampling rate. This decomposition is at the expense of using complex arithmetic for the subband processing. The theory surrounding the p...

This paper presents short summary about commonly used filters in macroeconomics. We consider Hodrick-Prescott filter, Butterworth filter, Ideal Bandpass filter, Baxter-King filter and Christiano-Fitzgerald filter. 1 The filtering problem Given raw data, {xt}t=1, we are interested in isolating component of xt, denoted by {yt}t=1, with period of oscillation between pl and pu, where 2 ≤ pl < pu < ...

We report the measure of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from extracts of blood dried on filter paper. Five 3-mm (diameter) paper discs containing approximately 25 microL of dried whole blood were punched from the filter paper and extracted with 500 microL of buffer. Recovery of PSA was > 92%. Imprecision of the filter paper procedure was <10% when corresponding whole-blood concentrations were ...
