In this paper we propose a new statistic capable of detecting non-Gaussianity in the CMB. The statistic is defined in Fourier space, and therefore naturally separates angular scales. It consists of taking another Fourier transform, in angle, over the Fourier modes within a given ring of scales. Like other Fourier space statistics, our statistic outdoes more conventional methods when faced with ...

This letter presents the C/N requirements for DVB-T2 fixed reception. Results have been obtained from field trials carried out to test DVB-T2 performance, considering outdoor rooftop antenna scenario. Two commercial receivers have been used to obtain C/N threshold values for image error-free condition. The tested configuration modes are the ones recommended for this scenario: 32K FFT and 64 and...

Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...

Metformin is one of the important anti-diabetic drugs to treat non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Fourier transform Raman (FTR) spectra of metformin have been used for the molecular study. A satisfactory band assignment has been made on the fundamental modes of vibration. Employing the molecular mechanics method using MM3 force field, the theo...

We study dynamical ordering of rods. In this process, rod alignment via pairwise interactions competes with diffusive wiggling. Under strong diffusion, the system is disordered, but at weak diffusion, the system is ordered. We present an exact steady-state solution for the nonlinear and nonlocal kinetic theory of this process. We find the Fourier transform as a function of the order parameter, ...
