In this paper, we make an investigation on the summean-square-error (sum-MSE) performance gain achieved by DFT-based least-square (LS) channel estimator over frequencydomain LS one in full-duplex OFDM system in the presence of colored interference and noise. The closed-form expression of the sum-MSE performance gain is given. Its simple upper and lower bounds are derived by using inequalities o...

[1] Column-integrated moist static energy (MSE) budgets were calculated using daily data from three reanalyses (1998–2001) and ISCCP radiative cooling. The MSE export by the circulation was separated into vertical and horizontal MSE advection components in order to examine how observationally-derived vertical motion profiles affect gross moist stability calculations. In a 2000 km-wide region in...

The use of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall has gained popularity as an alternative of conventional cast in place concrete walls. The construction of mechanically stabilized earth wall is cost effective, requires less site preparation and technically more feasible compared to conventional concrete retaining wall. However, use of backfill with high fine content and their poor d...

In this paper, a relationship between linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and the generalized minimum squared error (MSE) solution is presented. The generalized MSE solution is shown to be equivalent to applying a certain classification rule in the space defined by LDA. The relationship between the MSE solution and Fisher discriminant analysis is extended to multiclass problems and also to under...

The constant modulus (CM) criterion has become popular in the design of blind linear estimators of sub-Gaussian i.i.d. processes transmitted through unknown linear channels in the presence of unknown additive interference. In this paper, we present an upper bound for the conditionally unbiased mean-squared error (UMSE) of CM-minimizing estimators that depends only on the source kurtoses and the...

The constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is an e ective technique for blind receiver design in practice. Treating CMA as a linear estimation problem, e ects of noise and channel conditions are investigated. For the class of channels with arbitary nite impulse responses, an analytical description of locations of constant modulus receivers and an upper bound of their mean squared errors (MSE) are der...

2. The vision of ubiquitous computing (UC) More than a decade after its invention, Mark Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing finally seems to spark many research activities world wide. This article reviews the ideas behind ubiquitous computing and puts them into the context of the technical possibilities of today and tomorrow. The lack of appropriate software engineering approaches is identi...

Multiscale entropy (MSE) was recently developed to evaluate the complexity of time series over different time scales. Although the MSE algorithm has been successfully applied in a number of different fields, it encounters a problem in that the statistical reliability of the sample entropy (SampEn) of a coarse-grained series is reduced as a time scale factor is increased. Therefore, in this pape...

single-minded (sim) is a master regulatory gene that directs differentiation in the central nervous system during Drosophila embryogenesis. Recent identification of the mesectoderm enhancer (MSE) of sim has led to the hypothesis that two Snail (Sna)-binding sites in the MSE may repress sim expression in the presumptive mesoderm. We provide evidence here that three Sna-binding sites proximal to ...

We study the NP-hard Minimum Shared Edges (MSE) problem on graphs: decide whether it is possible to route p paths from a start vertex to a target vertex in a given graph while using at most k edges more than once. We show that MSE can be decided on bounded grids in linear time when both dimensions are either small or large compared to the number p of paths. On the contrary, we show that MSE rem...
