Half-band (HB) filters are of great importance and are often used in multirate digital signal processing systems, filter banks and wavelets. In this paper, a new closed-form expression for the transfer function of the maximally flat (MF) infinite-impulse response (IIR) HB filters is presented. The filter coefficients are directly obtained by solving a linear system of Vandermonde equations that...

Purpose Mammalian central nervous system axons fail to regenerate after injury. Contributing factors include limited intrinsic growth capacity and an inhibitory glial environment. Inflammation-induced optic nerve regeneration (IIR) is thought to boost retinal ganglion cell (RGC) intrinsic growth capacity through progrowth gene expression, but effects on the inhibitory glial environment of the o...

INTRODUCTION GRAPPA [1] is one of the most popular image reconstruction methods for Parallel MRI. This method interpolates downsampled k-space data with moving average (MA) kernel estimated using a set of fully acquired Auto-Calibrating Signal (ACS) lines in kspace; consequently, its reconstruction quality depends greatly on the estimation and generality of the kernel. Improving kernel estimati...

INTRODUCTION With the increasing use of immunobiological drugs (IBD), the knowledge about their effectiveness and safety has increased. OBJECTIVE To analyze the immediate infusional reactions (IIR) to intravenous IBD: infliximab (IFX), rituximab (RTX), abatacept (ABT) and tocilizumab (TCZ) on the treatment of autoimmune diseases. METHOD 2126 infusions performed in the Infusion Centre - CID ...

Generally Digital Signal Processing is Mathematical manipulation of the signals. The manipulation parameters may get differ from one technique to another. In this paper IIR Butterworth filters has been designed for various orders to analyze group delay. The developed IIR filters are designed and simulated using matlab with different filter orders. The simulated results shows that IIR filters wi...

Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter is of recursive type filter. The present output sample of an IIR filter depends on the present input samples, past input samples and past output samples. There are a number of techniques available to determine the digital IIR Filters. This paper is based on the computer based approach to design the digital IIR filter along with the calculation of filter co...

Adaptive infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filtering provides a powerful approach for solving a variety of practical problems. Because the error surface of IIR filters is generally multi-modal, global optimisation techniques are required in order to avoid local minima. We apply a global optimisation method, called the adaptive simulated annealing (ASA), to digital IIR filter design. An important ...

The research on optimal design of Infinite-impulse response (IIR) filter design based on various optimization techniques including evolutionary algorithms EA’s, has gained much attention in recent years. Previously, digital IIR filter’s parameters are encoded using floating point representation. Fixed point representation are used for encoding of digital IIR filter’s parameters because it effec...

We have developed, implemented and validated a set of flexible and efficient iterative image reconstruction (IIR) and processing methods for clinical positron emission tomography (PET) static or dynamic studies. IIR techniques are shown to produce images of better contrast and signal-to-noise ratio than the conventional filtered back-projection (FBP). Their high computational cost has been a si...
