In this work we present two algorithms for the estimation of the phase of a neuroelectric system of point processes using the third-order spectral density function of the output. The neuroelectric system, which is called muscle spindle, plays an important role in the initiation of the movement and the maintenance of the posture. The system can be modelled with the help of a linear stochastic mo...

The Reduced Asymmetric Neutral Point Clamped converter topology for unipolar driven, multiphase switched reluctance machines is proposed in this paper. This shares similarities with the conventional NPC and Asymmetric-NPC topologies, however it unique that components capacitor string outer semiconductor switches are shared among all phases a reduced component count. Some switching state combina...

We analyze the transport properties of a neutral tracer in a carrier fluid flowing through percolationlike porous media with spatial correlations. We model convection in the mass transport process using the velocity field obtained by the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations in the pore space. We find that the resulting statistical properties of the tracer show a tran...

This paper presents a design exploration of full-body interaction games played in cars. It describes how we have designed, implemented, and evaluated the core experiences of three different games, which were all aimed at making sitting properly more fun for players/children while travelling by car. By making the restricted body an integral part of gameplay, we hope to, as a side product of game...

background and objectives: beta-thalassemia continues to be a cause of significant burden to the society particularly in the poorer developing countries. although sophisticated methods of screening have become available, a hunt for a cheap, rapid, objective screening method still remains elusive. thus, the objectives are to study the validity of naked-eye-single-tube-osmotic-fragility-test (nes...
