The importance of mucosal wave detection and estimation has been stressed in literature regarding the automatic classification and recognition of larynx pathologies from voice records. Using a new estimation method of the mucosal wave correlate and simulation results from a 2-mass model of the vocal folds the present paper shows that the main fingerprints found in the power spectral density of ...

We consider a recently discovered representation for the general solution of the Sturm-Liouville equation as a spectral parameter power series (SPPS). The coefficients of the power series are given in terms of a particular solution of the Sturm-Liouville equation with the zero spectral parameter. We show that, among other possible applications, this provides a new and efficient numerical method...

The problem of selecting the correct subset of predictors within a linear model has received much attention in recent literature. Within the Bayesian framework, a popular choice of prior has been Zellner's g-prior which is based on the inverse of empirical covariance matrix of the predictors. An extension of the Zellner's prior is proposed in this article which allow for a power parameter on th...

This paper considers tests for a unit root when the innovations follow a near-integrated GARCH process. We compare the asymptotic properties of the likelihood ratio statistic with that of the leastsquares based Dickey-Fuller statistic. We first use asymptotics where the GARCH variance process is stationary with fixed parameters, and then consider parameter sequences such that the GARCH process ...

For stable power system operation, various system parameters like voltage, current, frequency, active and reactive power etc. are monitored at a regular basis. These data are either stored in the database of the system or transmitted to the monitoring station through SCADA. If these data can be compressed by suitable data compression techniques, there will be reduced memory requirement as well ...

We study combinatorial optimization problems involving one-parameter selfish agents considered by Archer and Tardos [FOCS 2001]. In particular, we show that, if agents can lie in one direction (that is they either overbid or underbid) then any (polynomial-time) capproximation algorithm, for the optimization problem without selfish agents, can be turned into a (polynomial-time) c(1 + )-approxima...

ii Dedicated to my parents iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my advisor Dr. Gu Guoxiang for his valuable academic suggestions and patient guidance throughout the research and preparation of this thesis. His expertise and technical advice deeply influenced me and my work recorded herein. Without his valuable suggestions and constructive direction, this thesi...

A spectral parameter power series (SPPS) representation for regular solutions of singular Bessel type Sturm-Liouville equations with complex coefficients is obtained as well as an SPPS representation for the (entire) characteristic function of the corresponding spectral problem on a finite interval. It is proved that the set of zeros of the characteristic function coincides with the set of all ...

Because the power systemload the randomness of the nature, power transmission of AC induction system has the low efficiency. In order to improve the transmission efficiency,the transmission efficiency influenced factors of the system is analyzed. Based on the current source power transfer system, DC/DC circuit for dynamic adjustment method is proposed. The method ensures that the transmission e...
