This article is a response to E. Heit and B. K. Hayes’s (2005) comment on the target article “Induction and Categorization in Young Children: A Similarity-Based Model” (V. M. Sloutsky & A. V. Fisher, 2004a). The response discusses points of agreement and disagreement with Heit and Hayes; phenomena predicted by similarity, induction, naming, and categorization (SINC); and relationships between S...

in this work, we study the performance of the sinc-collocation method for solving bratu's problem. for different choices of step size, we consider the maximum absolute errors in the solutions at sinc grid points and tabulated in tables. the comparison of the obtained results veri ed that this method converges to the exact solution rapidly and with

In this paper the method of fast impedance spectroscopy of technical objects with high impedance (|Z x | ≥ 1 GΩ) is evaluated by means of simulation and a practical experiment. The method is based on excitation of an object with a sinc signal and sampling the response signals proportional to current flowing through and voltage across the measured impedance. The object’s impedance spectrum is ob...

In this paper, the application of a Sinc-Collocation approach based on first derivative interpolation in numerical oceanography is presented. The specific model of interest involves a hydrodynamic model of wind-driven currents in coastal regions and semi-enclosed seas with depth-dependent vertical eddy viscosity. The model is formulated in two different but equivalent systems; a complex-velocit...

In this paper the capacity of different interpolation techniques aimed at wow defect reduction is examined. Involved are: linear interpolation, two polynomial based interpolation methods (Hermite and spline) and the windowed sinc-based method. The performance of a synthetic audio signal restored using incommensurate resampling for wow cancellation is evaluated on the basis of standard audio def...

We investigate the behavior of imperfect band-limited occulting masks in a high-contrast imaging system through modeling and simulations. Grayscale masks having 1D Sinc(2) (linear-Sinc(2)) amplitude transmission coefficient (Sinc(4) intensity transmittance) profiles as well as optical density and wavelength-dependent parasitic phases are considered occulters. We compare the behaviors of several...

We consider the application of a Sinc-Collocation approach based on first derivative to solve boundary value problems (BVPs) arising from fluid dynamics related models. Even in the presence of singularities that are often present in fluid dynamics problems involving boundary layers, the Sinccollocation technique provides exponentially convergent approximations including those posed on unbounded...

Joint synchronization and calibration of multi-channel transform-domain charge sampling receivers (May 2009) Pradeep Kotte Prakasam Chair of Advisory Committee: Sebastian Hoyos Transform-domain (TD) sampling is seen as a potential candidate for wideband and ultra-wideband high-performance receivers and is investigated in detail in this research. TD receivers expand the signal over a set of basi...

Sinc methods are now recognized as an efficient numerical method for problems whose solutions may have singularities, or infinite domains, or boundary layers. This work deals with the sinc-collocation method for solving linear and nonlinear system of second order differential equation. The method is then tested on linear and nonlinear examples and a comparison with B-spline method is made. It i...
