Through this paper, the combination of linear and non-linear techniques for noise filtering is proposed. A first linear processing stage in the time domain (an adaptive lattice ladder filter)[2],[5] is followed by a non-linear processing block in the frequency domain. The association of both procedures provides a much higher level of cancellation than their individual application. An added resu...

This paper presents a multichannel active system for the local control of sound around the headrest on the back of a seat placed inside an enclosure. The size of the zones of quiet produced makes the system practical only at relatively low frequencies [1]. Finally, some results of cancellation for narrowband and broadband noise are presented. Two different system configurations algorithms have ...

Effects of the ΣN channels on the spin-orbit force in Λ-hypernuclei are investigated. It is found that the cancellation between the symmetric and the antisymmetric ΛN spin-orbit force becomes more complete when the contribution from the ΣN channels is included. This may be the one of the reasons why the observed LS splitting of the Λ single particle energy is very small. PACS: 12.39.Jh, 13.75.E...

In recent years there has been significant progress in the calculation of two-loop amplitudes [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. These amplitudes are needed for fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations to improve the accuracy of theoretical predictions relevant to high-energy collider experiments. At the next-to-next-to-leading order level the ingredients ...

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is not a benign condition. There is a significant increase in mortality associated with the risk of development of multiple myeloma and related disorders.

RESULTS: Of the 359 patients, 330 had nonevolving MGUS, whereas 29 fulfilled the criteria for evolving MGUS. Overall, 32 patients developed malignant transformation. The progression rates at 10 and 20 years of follow-up for the evolving and the nonevolving types were 55% vs 10% and 80% vs 13%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the features significantly associated with a higher ...

We will leave to later the explanation of exactly what the 95% confidence level means. For now, we’ll note that taken together the width of the interval and the confidence level provide a measure on the strength of the evidence supporting the hypothesis that the μ is close to our estimate x. You should think of the confidence level of an interval as analogous to the significance level of a NHST...

We examine the impact of religious identity and village-level religious fragmentation on behavior in Tullock contests. We report on a series of two-player Tullock contest experiments conducted on a sample of 516 Hindu and Muslim participants in rural West Bengal, India. Our treatments are the identity of the two players and the degree of religious fragmentation in the village where subjects res...
