In this article, we present a consistent derivation of a density functional theory (DFT) based embedding method which encompasses wave-function theory-in-DFT (WFT-in-DFT) and the DFT-based subsystem formulation of response theory (DFT-in-DFT) by Neugebauer [J. Neugebauer, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 084104 (2009)] as special cases. This formulation, which is based on the time-averaged quasi-energy form...

BACKGROUND Although high defibrillation threshold (DFT) is a major and unavoidable clinical problem after implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), little is known about the cause and management of a high DFT in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The purpose of this study was to assess the predictors of a high DFT in patients with HCM. METHODS AND RESULTS ...

BACKGROUND Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing at the time of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) insertion is performed routinely. This practice is being reconsidered due to doubts about its ability to improve ICD efficacy and evidence that survival may not be affected by the test. OBJECTIVES To compare the outcome of ICD recipients who underwent DFT testing and those who did not...

This paper proposes a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) test strategy based on a non-scan DFT method. Especially, we evaluate a basic DFT method, called NS-DFT, comparing with a full scan DFT method. The experimental results for practical circuits and benchmark circuits demonstrate the efficiency of the NS-DFT.

BACKGROUND Inability to perform defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation due to co-morbidities may influence long-term survival. METHODS Retrospective review at The University of Michigan (1999-2004) identified 55 patients undergoing ICD implantation without DFT testing ("No-DFT group"). A randomly selected sample of patients (n =...

This paper is concerned with the definition of the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRFT). First, an eigendecomposition of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix is derived by sampling the Hermite Gauss functions which are eigenfunctions of the continuous Fourier transform and by performing a novel error removal procedure. Then, the result of the eigendecomposition of the DFT matrix...

The purpose of this work is to survey what is known about the linear independence of spikes and sines. The paper provides new results for the case where the locations of the spikes and the frequencies of the sines are chosen at random. This problem is equivalent to studying the spectral norm of a random submatrix drawn from the discrete Fourier transform matrix. The proof depends on an extrapol...
