We propose and implement a fast, universally applicable method for extracting the angular power spectrum Cl from CMB temperature maps by first estimating the correlation function ξ(θ). Our procedure recovers the Cl’s using N (but potentially N logN), operations, where N is the number of pixels. This is in contrast with standard maximum likelihood techniques which require N operations. Our metho...

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis has been carried out with a series of 107 anti-HIV HEPT compounds with antiviral activity, which was performed by chemometrics methods. Bi-dimensional images were used to calculate some pixels and multivariate image analysis was applied to QSAR modelling of the anti-HIV potential of HEPT analogues by means of multivariate calibration,...

Starting from the standard feature vector representation, we study ...

This paper describes an electromagnetic flow meter for velocity profile measurement in single phase and multiphase flows with non-uniform axial velocity profiles. A Helmholtz coil is used to produce a near-uniform magnetic field orthogonal to both the flow direction and the plane of an electrode array mounted on the internal surface of a non-conducting pipe wall. Induced voltages acquired from ...
