Expanding upon an observation of Hou [Math. Comp., submitted], exact desingularizations are presented of the Euler equations in two and three dimensions for which the singularity within the Biot-Savart integrand is reduced by one order. The reformulated equations are then solved numerically using either the point vortex method or the vortex blob method. The increased smoothness of the Biot-Sava...

Self- and mutual inductances are major design parameters for wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. To optimize a WPT system estimate its performance in terms of received efficiency, it is essential to obtain simple, fast, accurate calculation these two parameters. The polarized double-D (DD) coils were selected due their simplicity structure, high low sensitivity misalignment conditions. This ...

Congenital amusia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired pitch processing. Although pitch simultaneities are among the fundamental building blocks of Western tonal music, affective responses to simultaneities such as isolated dyads varying in consonance/dissonance or chords varying in major/minor quality have rarely been studied in amusic individuals. Thirteen amusics and th...

Recently, BMI screening in public schools has stirred sharp controversy with the emergence of letters sent home to parents indicating their child’s BMI percentile and weight category. In Massachusetts, these letters have been deemed, “fat letters,” and have appeared on late night comedy shows, newspapers, and televised news reports. Not only has screening come under harsh criticism, but the inc...

This proposed method reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of multi-carrier transmission, by exploiting null subcarriers, already mandated in most OFDM wireless standards. This new approach requires no channel side information, can be compatible with existing standards, imposes no rate hit, is distortionless, has low computational complexity, and can complement most other PAPR-reductio...
