Most of source separation methods focus on stationary sources, so higher-order statistics is necessary for successful separation, unless sources are temporally correlated. For nonstationary sources, however, it was shown [Neural Networks 8 (1995) 411] that source separation could be achieved by second-order decorrelation. In this paper, we consider the cost function proposed by Matsuoka et al. ...

Fluorescent quantum dots (QDs), because of their tunable spectral properties, are ideal for simultaneous multiplexed detection in an antibody array format. Despite these advantages, their widespread usage is limited by the costly and tedious conjugation and separation protocol. Herein, we report a simple platform for the direct conjugation and separation of highly luminescent CdSe-ZnS QD-antibo...

This paper addresses itself to a new approach for failure discriminant analysis, a classical and yet very actively studied problem in financial engineering. The basic idea of the new method is to separate multi-dimensional financial data corresponding to ongoing and failed enterprises by an ellipsoidal surface which enjoys a good mathematical property as well as a clear financial interpretation...

A novel high-throughput system, called the stacked slice-gel system for separation and reactions (4SR), was developed for the analysis of DNA/RNA and protein/peptide. The system provides a novel three-dimensional gel electrophoresis approach that exploits the property of stacked slice gels. It allows multiple samples simultaneously to react as well as to be separated, offering a two-dimensional...

In this paper, we present an image separation method for separating images into pointand curvelike parts by employing a combined dictionary consisting of wavelets and compactly supported shearlets utilizing the fact that they sparsely represent point and curvilinear singularities, respectively. Our methodology is based on the very recently introduced mathematical theory of geometric separation,...

objectives: herbal medicine is known as a valid alternative treatment. salvia reuterana, which has been used in the iranian traditional medicine, is mostly distributed in the central highlands of iran. salvia reuterana is a medicinal herb with various therapeutic usages. the aim of the present review is to take account of pharmacological properties of salvia reuterana. materials and methods: th...

In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...

equilibrium adsorption property of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with oh group was studied using experimental design for the adsorption of co2 , ch4 and h2 . the effect of temperature, pressure, their binary interactions and quadratic terms were studied for adsorption capacity of nanotubes and the results were analyzed by the face centered central composite design method and analysis of varianc...

In this paper, we study geometric properties of the set group invariant continuous linear operators between Banach spaces. particular, present versions Hahn–Banach separation theorems and elementary operators. This allows us to contextualize our main applications in theory norm-attaining operators; establish $$\alpha $$ Schachermayer $$\beta Lindenstrauss, relevant results from (much wider) set...
