Moving window concepts are used in temporal query languages for aggregate functions over the dimension ‘time’. In the medical domain, aggregation of patient data over time windows builds a powerful mechanism within clinical database queries to satisfy a class of typical medical question formulations. In opposite to other fields, like the business domain for example, there is the additional need...

This paper introduces time window temporal logic (TWTL), a rich expressivity language for describing various time bounded specifications. In particular, the syntax and semantics of TWTL enable the compact representation of serial tasks, which are typically seen in robotics and control applications. This paper also discusses the relaxation of TWTL formulae with respect to deadlines of tasks. Eff...

This paper introduces a family of tetravalent graphs called rose window graphs, denoted by Rn(a, r), and investigates their symmetry properties. Four families of these graphs are shown to be edge-transitive and it is conjectured that every Rn(a, r) which is edge-transitive belongs to one of these families. Proofs and conjectures about the size of a dart-stabilizer and about regular maps contain...

A major goal of axion searches is to reach inside the parameter space region of realistic axion models. Currently, the boundaries of this region depend on somewhat arbitrary criteria, and it would be desirable to specify them in terms of precise phenomenological requirements. We consider hadronic axion models and classify the representations R_{Q} of the new heavy quarks Q. By requiring that (i...

TCP’s congestion window controls the number of packets a TCP flow may have in the network at any time. However, long periods when the sender is idle or application-limited can lead to the invalidation of the congestion window, in that the congestion window no longer reflects current information about the state of the network. In this paper we propose a simple modification to TCP’s congestion co...

A new simple form window with the application of FIR filter design based on the exponential function is proposed in this article. An improved window having a closed simple formula which is symmetric ameliorates ripple ratio in comparison with cosine hyperbolic window. The proposed window has been derived in the same way as Kaiser window, but its advantages have no power series expansion in its ...

The optimal window, the time limited sequence whose energy is most concentrated in a nite frequency interval is related to a particular discrete prolate spheroidal sequence. The optimal window is actually a family of windows with many degrees of freedom. The Kaiser window is an approximation to this optimal window. Kaiser used this approximation because the standard method employed to compute t...

An abstract of the dissertation of Jin Li for the Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science presented October 17, 2008. Title: Window Queries over Data Streams Evaluating queries over data streams has become an appealing way to support various stream-processing applications. Window queries are commonly used in many stream applications. In a window query, certain query operators, especially block...

The X Window System is introduced with a history of its development and its concepts. Current implementations and uses of the X Window System are discussed, with a survey of the most popular tools that make X easier to work with for the developer and the user alike; followed by a brief survey of what the future might be holding for X.

We propose a robust method for estimating the time-varying spectrum of a non-stationary random process. Our approach extends Thomson's powerful multiple window spectrum estimation scheme to the time-frequency and timescale planes. The method reenes previous extensions of Thomson's method through optimally concentrated window and wavelet functions and a statistical test for extracting chirping l...
