In this correspondence, we propose an algorithm for computing the distance spectrum of a space–time trellis code achieving maximal diversity gain in quasi-static fading channels. We further present a state reduction technique for trellis codes that can reduce the complexity of the distance spectrum computation. We provide numerical results supporting the empirical evidence that a truncated unio...

We have developed an absorption spectrum based molecular ruler that measures the distance between two mercapto groups. The conformation of the molecular rulers changes with the distance, which induces an absorption spectrum change. DFT calculation has been carried out to elucidate the relation between the molecular conformation and the absorption spectrum. With this simple method, we can estima...

Distance spectrum is the main factor in determining the event error probability when maximum-likelihood decoding is used for convolutional codes [13]. In this paper we compute the distance spectrum for the best R=1/N channel codes obtained using convolutional (linear trellis) codes together with known offset sequence addition on precoded partial-response 1−D channel proposed in [4]. To this end...

The paramagnetic effect of Mn2+ on the electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of a nitroxide spin label covalently attached to the active-site serine residue of des-1-41-light chain bovine plasma-activated protein C, and situated at a distance of approximately 1.2 nm from this amino acid, has been utilized to estimate the distance on the enzyme surface between the single Mn2+ site and the fre...

the near field ground motions have a high amplitude pulse like at the beginning of the seismogram which are significantly influenced by the rupture mechanism and direction of rupture propagation. this type of ground motion cause higher demands for engineering structures and its response spectrum is dramatically different than far field spectra. tabriz is one of the ancient cities in azerbaijan ...

We present a distance-agnostic approach to quantitative verification. Taking as input an unspecified distance on system traces, or executions, we develop a game-based framework which allows us to define a spectrum of different interesting system distances corresponding to the given trace distance. Thus we extend the classic linear-time–branching-time spectrum to a quantitative setting, parametr...

Modern spectral estimation techniques often rely on second order statistics of a time-series to determine a power spectrum consistent with data. Such statistics provide moment constraints on the power spectrum. In this paper we study possible distance functions between spectra which permit a reasonable quantitative description of the uncertainty in moment problems. Typically, there is an infini...
