University campuses are busy places for wireless client traffic coming from Wi-Fi connections and other wireless devices that contend for the 2.4 GHz frequencies space that most campus Wi-Fi networks use currently. This is making the 2.4 GHz frequency unsuitable for WiFi connection due to too much interference from other devices as well as from Wi-Fi connections themselves. TV white space could...

In essence, designing a perfect-reconstruction (PR) biorthogonal cosine-modulated filter bank (BCM) is a non-convex constrained optimization problem that can be solved in principle using general optimization solvers. However, when the number of channels is large and the order of the prototype filter (PF) is high, numerical difficulties in using those optimization solvers often occur, and the co...

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a multidisciplinary holistic, consisting of a number of different theoretical approaches to the microlevel analysis of text and talk that has to do with the social and/or political. These various methodological approaches are unified, however, by a macrolevel social critique which maintains that social inequality may be enacted, sustained and legitimised thr...

the notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. the extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...

in this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twome...

Using fuzzy filters in the sense of P. Eklund and W. Gähler [2], it turns out that fuzzy preuniform convergence spaces introduced in [11] form a strong topological universe in which fuzzy topological spaces as well as fuzzy (quasi) uniform spaces can be studied. Thus, better tools such as the existence of natural function spaces, the existence of one-point extensions (and consequently, the here...

The correlation filters have been extensively studied in the field of face recognition. Correlation filters can be used directly on image pixels but also on proper feature spaces. We propose an effective algorithm for feature extraction using a genetic algorithm (GA). The algorithm generates a population of genomes that represents the 2D filter coefficient where new genomes are generated by cro...

In this paper the characterization as convolution operators of filters sending finite energy signals to bounded signals is used to prove several theoretical results concerning the distance between the ideal filter and the spaces of physically realizable filters. Both the analog and the digital cases are studied and the formulas for the distance and the angle between the filters in each case are...

The axioms for a topology in terms of open sets follow necessarily from the intuitive relation of this concept with ultrafilter convergence. By contrast, the intuitive relations between neighbourhood systems or closure operations on the one hand and ultrafilter convergence on the other lead only to pretopologies. Kleisli operations, previously used in categorical algebra, greatly facilitate cat...
