In this paper, novel recursive algorithms for realization of one-dimensional discrete sine transform (DST) and inverse discrete sine transform (IDST) of any length are proposed. By using some mathematical techniques, recursive expressions for DST and IDST have been developed. Then, the DST and IDST are implemented by recursive filter structures. A linear systolic architecture for realization of...

It is known that the correction of the Kyoto Dst index for the secular variation of the Earth's internal field produces a discontinuity in the Kyoto Dst index at the end of each year. We show that this secular correction also introduces a significant baseline error to the Kyoto Dst index that leads to an underestimate of the solar cycle variation of geomagnetic activity and of the strength of t...

The survival rate of 19 patients who underwent living-related kidney transplantation after donor-specific blood transfusions (DST) was compared with that of 32 historical controls receiving transplants without DST. The graft survival rate of the DST group was 82% after two and three years. The graft survival rate of the DST group was significantly better than the 53% rate after two years obtain...

The management and combination of uncertain, imprecise, fuzzy and even paradoxical or high conflicting sources of information has always been and still remains of primal importance for the development of reliable information fusion systems. In this short survey paper, we present the theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as DSmT (Dezert-Smarandache Theory) in literature, developed...

Dynamic game theory is applied to analyze the timber market in northern Iran as a duopsony. The Nash equilibrium and the dynamic properties of the system based on marginal adjustments are determined. When timber is sold, the different mills use mixed strategies to give sealed bids. It is found that the decision probability combination of the different mills follow a special form of attractor an...

This paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. Although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. In this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. The suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

This paper presents a simulation methodology for performance assessment of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems using directly modulated quantum-well lasers and optically preamplified direct detection receivers. The methodology is based on a pure semi-analytical method which combines noiseless WDM transmission simulation with noise analysis in those systems. Using this approach, we di...

This paper discusses the impact of double cavity Fabry-Perot demultiplexers on the performance of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems with dispersion supported transmission (DST) of three 10 Gbit/s channels separated 1 nm. For performance assessment, a suitable simulation methodology has been used which combines signal simulation with noise analysis in optically amplified multichanne...

Decision support computer technology (DST) embedded in laboratory or hospital information systems has great potential but has rarely been successful. Through studying a pharmacokinetic program that automatically extracted data without requiring manual data entry, we have identified several barriers to the successful implementation of DST. Manual data entry is a major barrier, but so is the entr...

In this paper radix-2 algorithms for computation of type-II discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete sine transform (DST) of length N = 2 (n ≥ 2) are presented. The DCT/DST can be computed from two DCT/DST sequences, each of length N/2. The odd-indexed output components of DCT/DST can be realized using simple recursive relations. The proposed algorithms require a reduced number of arithmeti...
