Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier number modulation (OFDM-SNM) has been recently proposed to improve the spectral efficiency (SE) of traditional OFDM system. In this paper, we propose a joint-mapping OFDM-SNM (JM-OFDM-SNM) scheme transmit signal vector constant length information bits by jointly considering activation patterns and constellation symbols. A low-complexity...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...

PURPOSE To enable accurate magnetic resonance (MR) parameter mapping with accelerated data acquisition, utilizing recent advances in constrained imaging with sparse sampling. THEORY AND METHODS A new constrained reconstruction method based on low-rank and sparsity constraints is proposed to accelerate MR parameter mapping. More specifically, the proposed method simultaneously imposes low-rank...

This report develops a systematic approach for determining the acceleration capability and the acceleration properties of the end-effector of a planar two degree-of-freedom manipulator. The acceleration of the end-effector at a given configuration of the manipulator is a linear function of the actuator torques and a (nonlinear) quadratic function of the "joint-velocities. By decomposing the fun...

This paper proposes density estimation as a feasible approach to the wide class of learning problems where traditional function approximation methods fail. These problems generally involve learning the inverse of causal systems, speciically when the inverse is a non-convex mapping. We demonstrate the approach through three case studies: the inverse kinematics of a three-joint planar arm, the ac...

Bias correction of meteorological variables from climate model simulations is a routine strategy for circumventing known limitations of state-of-the-art general circulation models. Although the assessment of climate change impacts often depends on the joint variability of multiple variables, commonly used bias correction methodologies treat each variable independently and do not consider the re...

Experts recently identified 49 joint motion patterns in children with cerebral palsy during a Delphi consensus study. Pattern definitions were therefore the result of subjective expert opinion. The present study aims to provide objective, quantitative data supporting the identification of these consensus-based patterns. To do so, statistical parametric mapping was used to compare the mean kinem...

A discussion of the overlap problem of reweighting approaches to evaluating critical phenomenon in fermionic systems is motivated by highlighting the divergence of the joint probability density function of a general ratio. By identifying the bounds for which this integral can be expressed in closed form, we establish criteria for accurately mapping the joint ratio distribution of two disjoint e...

In this technical report we treat some properties of the recently introduced QBGvalue function. In particular we show that it is a piecewise linear and convex function over the space of joint beliefs. Furthermore, we show that there exists an optimal infinite-horizon QBG-value function, as the QBG backup operator is a contraction mapping. We conclude by noting that the optimal Dec-POMDP Q-value...

With the increasing availability of functional genomic data (Consortium et al., 2012, Kundaje et al., 2015, Ardlie et al., 2015), incorporating genomic annotations into QTL mapping has become a standard analytical procedure. However, the existing analysis methods often lack rigor and/or computational efficiency. We present a novel algorithm to perform integrative multi-SNP QTL mapping in a prob...
