In this paper we extend the results obtained for a class of finite kernel functions by Y.Q. Bai M. El Ghami and C.Roos published in SIAM Journal of Optimization, 13(3):766–782, 2003 [3] for linear optimization to semidefinite optimization. We show that the iteration bound for primal dual methods is O( √ n log n log n ), for large-update methods andO( √ n log n ), for small-update methods. The i...

Four or more streams of MIMO transmission are needed to achieve data rates in excess of 1 Gbps in LTE-Advanced systems. However, accommodating more antennas for four or more streams of MIMO transmission means that a rise in costs and the difficulty of securing the space for additional antennas must be dealt with. This article describes NTT DOCOMO’s new transmission technology, Smart Vertical MI...

Written Japanese and Chinese contain no word delimiters such as spaces, so segmentation into words is the first step in processing text in these languages. Over the years several methods of segmentation that utilize various statistical and grammatical principles have been developed. I have implemented two such methods, the Tango algorithm by Ando and Lee and a hidden markov model by Papageorgio...

5 of 10 Agreeableness: controlling for the other traits, we conducted five multiple regression analyses in which each trait was regressed onto the other four. After controlling for the other four traits, the amount of unexplained variance left over was 78%, 48%, 46%, 96%, and 86% for E, A, C, N, andO, respectively, indicating that there were substantial proportions of variance unexplained. Seco...

The Ajiki-Ando (A-A) splitting of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNT) originating from the Aharanov-Bohm effect was observed in chiral specific SWNTs by the magneto-absorption measurements conducted at magnetic fields of up to 78 T. The absorption spectra from each chirality showed clear A-A splitting of the E11 optical excitonic transitions. The parameters of both the dark-bright exciton ener...

When anticoagulants are contraindicated for the venous thromboembolism therapy and thromboembolism recurs, a vena cava filter is inserted percutaneously into a major vein in order to prevent blood clots from entering the lungs (Ando & Kuribayashi, 2000; Streiff, 2000) (Fig. 1). The inferior vena cava filter is a mesh structure designed to capture blood clots while not impeding blood flow. This ...
