Congenic mouse strains VM/Dk and VM-Sincs7/Dk differ at the Sinc gene, which controls the incubation period of scrapie in mice; VM/Dk mice are Sincp7p7 and VM-Sincs7/Dk mice are Sincs7s7. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that the PrP genes also differ in these strains, confirming the close genetic linkage of Sinc and PrP. Using the restriction en...

Six forest tree height inversion methods of polarimetric SAR interferometry were validated using repeat pass E-SAR datasets and the corresponding ground measured forest stand height. We show that SINC, three stage full model and three stage SINC inversions have good performance, and the SINC inversion with the first optimum coherence (OPT1) produces the best result among the eleven coherence ty...

A Sinc-collocation method has been proposed by Stenger, and he also gave theoretical analysis of the method in the case of a ‘scalar’ equation. This paper extends the theoretical results to the case of a ‘system’ of equations. Furthermore, this paper proposes more efficient method by replacing the variable transformation employed in Stenger’s method. The efficiency is confirmed by both of theor...

Sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses possess a rectangular spectrum, enabling data to be encoded in a minimum spectral bandwidth and satisfying by essence the Nyquist criterion of zero inter-symbol interference (ISI). This property makes them very attractive for communication systems since data transmission rates can be maximized while the bandwidth usage is minimized. However, most of the pulse-shaping ...

Error estimates with explicit constants are given for approximations of functions, definite integrals and indefinite integrals by means of the Sinc approximation. Although in the literature various estimates have already been given for these approximations, they were basically for examining the rates of convergence, and several constants were left unevaluated. Giving more explicit estimates, i....

Many numerical methods have been developed for the solution of Poisson and Laplace equations such as finite-difference methods, finite-element methods, boundary-element methods, etc. Sinc numerical methods developed recently by Stenger and co-workers excel over other methods for problems involving singularities, infinite or semi-infinite domains as well as boundary layer behaviors. In this pape...

A Gaussian-Sinc basis set methodology is presented for the calculation of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules at the Hartree-Fock level of theory. This methodology has several advantages over previous methods. The all-electron electronic structure in a Gaussian-Sinc mixed basis spans both the "localized" and "delocalized" regions. A basis set for each region is combined to make a ne...

We test the Sinc function representation, a novel method for numerically evaluating Feynman diagrams, by using it to evaluate the three-loop master diagrams. Analytical results have been obtained for all these diagrams, and we find excellent agreement between our calculations and the exact values. The Sinc function representation converges rapidly, and it is straightforward to obtain accuracies...

We extend our new approach for numeric evaluation of Feynman diagrams to integrals that include fermionic and vector propagators. In this initial discussion we begin by deriving the Sinc function representation for the propagators of spin1 2 and spin-1 fields and exploring their properties. We show that the attributes of the spin-0 propagator which allowed us to derive the Sinc function represe...
