We propose a combination method for a diffusion affine projection algorithm. There are two steps to estimate unknown optimal weight in Adapt-then-combine strategy of diffusion adaptive filtering. In an adaptation step, variable step-size affine projection algorithm works to get an improvement of convergence rate and small steady-state error. In a diffusion step, the proposed combination method ...

Brief smooth eye-velocity responses to target position steps have been reported during smooth pursuit. We investigated position-error responses in eight healthy human subjects, comparing the effects of a step-ramp change in target position when imposed on steady-state smooth pursuit, vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) slow phases, or fixation. During steady-state pursuit or VOR, the target performed ...

Filters of some sort are essential to the operation of most electronic circuits. It is therefore in the interest of anyone involved in electronic circuit design to have the ability to develop filter circuits capable of meeting a given set of specifications. delay time steady state error, operating frequency, and wavelength, damping frequency, and wavelength the major interesting design paramete...

Because of the use of scattering based communication channels, passivity based telemanipulation systems can be subject to a steady state position error between master and slave robots. In this paper, we consider the case in which the passive master and slave sides communicate through a packet switched communication channel (e.g. Internet) and we provide a modification of the slave impedance con...

The meticulousness of steady-state error analysis of unityfeedback control systems has always been of vital significance as even a trifling glitch in this analysis may result in grievous penalties. To ensure a rigorous steady-state error analysis, this paper presents the formal verification of a generic relationship that is applicable to all kinds of inputs and types of unity-feedback control s...

This paper analyzes the transmission mechanisms of a contractionary monetary policy shock on the real economy. The sufficiently long regime uniform time period since the political transformation in the Czech Republic provides evidence for effective inflation targeting by the Czech National Bank. I apply a recursive vector autoregression (VAR), a structural VAR, and structural vector error corre...

In Part II [3] we carried out a detailed mean-square-error analysis of the performance of asynchronous adaptation and learning over networks under a fairly general model for asynchronous events including random topologies, random link failures, random data arrival times, and agents turning on and off randomly. In this Part III, we compare the performance of synchronous and asynchronous networks...

Subcooled flow boiling in multi-microchannels can be used as an efficient thermal management approach in compact electrical devices. Highly subcooled flow boiling of HFE 7100 is studied in two microchannel heat sinks to choose a proper numerical model for simulating boiling flows in microchannels. Results of five different numerical models, including Volume of Fluid (VOF), Eulerian boiling, Eul...

This study estimates the aggregate import demand function for Nigeria for the period of 1980 2010. Cointegration approach was implemented. While the error correction term in the estimated VEC model was evaluated for long run causal relationship, the short term coefficients were gauged for short term causal relationship between the explained and the explanatory variables. Results indicate: (i) t...
