Here we consider approaches to the ranking of fuzzy numbers based upon the idea of associating with a fuzzy number a scalar value, its signal/noise ratios, where the signal and the noise are defined as the middle-point and the spread of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number, respectively. We use the value of a as the weight of the signal/noise ratio of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number to calcula...

transfer matrix method (tmm) has been applied to analyze characteristics of semiconductor laser optical amplifiers. the input signal is sinusoidal modulating wave and we do not assume the modulating bias signal as well. we have shown that the distoration arises from gain modulation at low modulation frequencies, but in microwave modulation frequencies, the gain takes an average value and the re...

this paper presents a comprehensive case study on electro-mechanical analysis of mems[1] variable capacitors. using the fundamental mechanical and electrical equations, static and dynamic behaviors of the device are studied. the analysis is done for three different modes, namely: dc (static mode), small signal ac and large signal regime. a complete set of equations defining dynamic behavior of ...

given the sensitivity of current ground-based gravitational wave (gw) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. while with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...

one of the most common signals used for achieving high range resolution in radar is stepped-frequency signals. when a target is stationary in these radars, dft (discrete fourier transform) based processing is used to attain high range resolution profile (hrrp). however, in the case of moving target, due to spreading of the echo signal spectrum, dft based processing is not optimal and decreases ...

rho-kinase is an effector molecule of rhoa, a monomeric gtp-binding protein, and causes ca2+ sensitization through inactivation of myosin phosphatase. the major physiological functions of rho/rho-kinase cascade include contraction, proliferation and migration in cells.there are some excellent reviews about rho/rho-kinase signal pathway, most of which focus on the specific proteins of the pathwa...

A Side Lobe Canceller (SLC) structure is a conventional partially adaptive technique which is used in large adaptive array radars. If a desired signal has long time duration in comparison with the SLC adaptation time, signal components may be cancelled. So, this paper presents a modified SLC which eliminates desired signal cancellation problems and allows using an unconstrained adaptive algorit...
