The computation of periodic orbits of nonlinear mappings or dynamical systems can be achieved by applying a root-finding method. To determine a periodic solution, an initial guess should be located within a proper area of the mapping or a surface of section of the phase space of the dynamical system. In the case of Newton or Newton-like methods these areas are the basins of convergence correspo...

Denaturing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC) is a recently developed technique forthe detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and mutations. It involves the comparisonbetween two or more DNAs as a mixture of denatured and reannealed PCR products. The methodologyis based on the principle of reversed phase liquid chromatography and uses a unique DNA sepa...

An exploration in the competency of the optical multilevel Mapping Multiplexing Technique (MMT) system in tolerating to the impact of nonlinearities as Self Phase Modulation (SPM) during the presence of dispersion compensation methods. The existence of high energy pulses stimulates deterioration in the chirp compression process attained by SPM which introduces an upper power boundary limit. An ...

Flow assessment is an integral part of the comprehensive evaluation of the cardiovascular system. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is well suited for flow assessment due to its non-invasive, multi-plane imaging capability unrestricted by windows of access and its ability to measure blood flow and velocity. Phase-contrast velocity mapping for flow assessment has been incorporated in all commerc...

Several properties of OFDM has made it an essential modulation scheme for high speed transmission links. But one major drawback ofOFDM is its large Peak-toaverage power ratio. Here we have reviewed some of the PAPR reduction techniques and compared the performance of clipping and filtering,partial transmit sequence and selected mapping methods for QAM modulated OFDM. We have also shown analytic...

Property mapping is a fundamental component of ontology matching, and yet there is little support that goes beyond the identification of single property matches. Real data often requires some degree of composition, trivially exemplified by the mapping of FirstName, LastName to FullName on one end, to complex machings, such as parsing and pairing symbol/digit strings to SSN numbers, at the other...

Techniques are described in which the intensity distribution of an ultrasound beam is measured with high resolution by means of the radiation reflected from a target whose effective backscattering diameter is smaller than one wavelength. Correlation receivers are used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the echo. As the target is scanned across the beam, the phase of the reference signal ap...
