We consider the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle. We show that any recurrent f (in the sense that {f}n∈Z is not discrete) is in fact a distortion element (in the sense that its iterates can be written as short compositions involving finitely many smooth diffeomorphisms). Thus rotations are distortion elements.

Common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the inverter causes motor bearing failures in multiphase drives.On the other hand, presence of undesired z-component currents in six-phase induction machine (SPIM) leads to extra current losses and have to be considered in pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. In this paper, it is shown that the presence of z-component currents and CMV in six phase driv...

Precise and accurate quantification of whole-brain atrophy based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is an important goal in understanding the natural progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. We found that inconsistent MRI positioning of subjects is common in typically acquired clinical trial data - particularly along the magnet's long ...

In this paper, the operation principle of the Z-source inverter is analysed in detail. According to the characteristics of allowed short–shrougt zero state in the Z-source inverter, SPWM control method of the Zsource inverter is obtained by inserting fixed short–shrougt zero state into zero state of SPWM. It is simple and easily implemented in practice. However, in inductive load condition the ...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the potential of high-pitch, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) for compensation of motion artifacts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Motion artifacts were created using a moving chest/cardiac phantom with integrated stents at different velocities (from 0 to 4-6 cm/s) parallel (z direction), transverse (x direction), and diagonal (x and z direction combined) to ...

background: different factors such as impression techniques and materials can affect the passive fi t between the superstructure and implant. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different impression materials and techniques on the dimensional accuracy of implant defi nitive casts. materials and methods: four internal hex implants (biohorizons ø4 mm) were placed on a metal maxil...

We consider the rate distortion problem with side information at the decoder posed and investigated by Wyner and Ziv. The rate distortion function indicating the trade-off between the rate on the data compression and the quality of data obtained at the decoder was determined by Wyner and Ziv. In this paper, we study the error probability of decoding at rates below the rate distortion function. ...
