This paper is concerned with elucidating a relationship between two common coupling methods for the continuous time Markov chain models utilized in the cell biology literature. The couplings considered here are primarily used in a computational framework by providing reductions in variance for different Monte Carlo estimators, thereby allowing for significantly more accurate results for a fixed...

State Sstimation over Fading Channels: Outage and Diversity Effects Kimmo Kansanen Department of Electronic and Telecommunications, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway Uncoded (analog) transmission of a scalar first-order Gauss-Markov process over fading channels is considered. This model is applicable in real-time applications and for settings such as wireless sensor ...

this paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional sogi (second-order generalized integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...

rapid exploratory field survey, to identify indigenous chicken ecotypes was conducted in north gondar zone of ethiopia. chicken ecotypes including necked neck, gasgie and gugut from quara, alefa and tache armacheho districts were identified, respectively. morphological variations among the three study populations and nine measurable traits were evaluated. general linear model, canonical discrim...
