We introduce a new approach to design FIR energy compaction filters of arbitrary order N . The optimization of such filters is important due to their close connection to the design of an M-channel orthonormal filter bank adapted to the input signal statistics. The novel procedure finds the optimum product filter Fopt(z) = Hopt(z)Hopt(z-') corresponding to the compaction filter Hopt(z ) . The id...

Microfluidic-based manipulation of particles is of great interest due to the insight it provides into the physics of hydrodynamic forces. Here, we study a particle-size-dependent phenomenon based on differential inertial focusing that utilizes the flow characteristics of curved, low aspect ratio (channel width ≫ height), microfluidic channels. We report the emergence of two focusing points alon...

It is shown that the capacity of the channel modeled by (a discretized version of) the stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is upper-bounded by logp1` SNRq with SNR “ P0{σ pzq, where P0 is the average input signal power and σpzq is the total noise power up to distance z. This implies that the capacity of this model of the single-user optical fiber channel is below the capacity of the...

We establish the capacity of a class communication channels introduced by Makur. The $n$ -letter input from finite alphabet is passed through discrete memoryless channel notation="LaTeX">$P_{Z|X}$ and then output sequence uniformly pe...

A sensitive liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) method was established and validated for the determination of glycyrrhizin in dog plasma. After treatment with methanol to precipitate proteins, plasma samples were analyzed on a reversed-phase C18 (ODS) column with a mobile phase of methanol:1% formic acid solution (75:25, v/v). MS determination was perform...

We discuss the Bi + p+p-decay channel, which is sensitive to deviations from the standard model. We also consider the Bt mixing information that could be obtained from these decays in the framework of the standard model. Finally, we comment on the experimental difficulties of observing the Bf + p+p "-channel. PACS13.20.-v-Leptonic and sernileptonic decays of mesons. To illustrate the usefulness...

g Z I Y ( t ) = exp (-nizy + 27r iy t ) g ( t z), t E w We truncate the channel response so that N , = 0 and AT, = 20. As before, the channel input is an i.i.d. sequence, and the noise is stationary and white with SNR,h,, =20 dB. We assume the number of feedforward taps is fixed at q = 10. Fig. 3 shows the optimal decision delay (defined as thlat which maximizes SNRDFE) versus the number of fee...

Costa’s celebrated ”writing on dirty paper” (WDP) shows that the powerconstrained channel Y = X + S + Z, with Gaussian Z, has the same capacity as the standard AWGN channel Y = X + Z, provided that the ”interference” S (no matter how strong it is) is known at the transmitter. While this ability for perfect interference cancellation is very appealing, it relies heavily on the Gaussianity of the ...

SMATASY is an interface for the ZFI TER package and may be used for the model independent description of the Z resonance at LEP 1 and SLC. It allows the determination of the Z mass and width and its resonance shape parameters r and j for cross-sections and their asymmetries. The r describes the peak height and j the interference of the Z resonance with photon exchange in each scattering channel...
