Based on the daily data of American and Chinese stock markets, the dynamic behavior of a financial network with static and dynamic thresholds is investigated. Compared with the static threshold, the dynamic threshold suppresses the large fluctuation induced by the cross-correlation of individual stock prices, and leads to a stable topological structure in the dynamic evolution. Long-range timec...

Dynamic spike threshold plays a critical role in neuronal input-output relations. In many neurons, the threshold potential depends on the rate of membrane potential depolarization (dV/dt) preceding a spike. There are two basic classes of neural excitability, i.e., Type I and Type II, according to input-output properties. Although the dynamical and biophysical basis of their spike initiation has...

Multiple-threshold CMOS circuit, which has both high and low threshold transistors in a single chip, can be used to deal with the leakage problem in low voltage low power (LVLP) and high performance applications. The high threshold transistors can suppress the subthreshold leakage current, while the low threshold transistors are used to achieve the high performance. In this paper, we will intro...

In this paper, an approach of dynamic threshold setting via Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) in HMM training is described. The BIC threshold setting is applied to two important applications. Firstly, it is used to set the thresholds for decision tree based state tying, in place of the conventional approach of using a heuristic constant threshold. Secondly, it is applied to choosing the numb...

The authors report a 0.7V Manchester carry look-ahead circuit using partially depleted (PD) SOI CMOS dynamic threshold (DTMOS) techniques for low-voltage CMOS VLSI systems. Using an asymmetrical dynamic threshold pass-transistor technique with the PD-SOI DTMOS dynamic logic circuit, this 0.7V PD-SOI DTMOS Manchester carry look-ahead circuit has an improvement of 30% in propagation delay time co...

PURPOSE The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether dynamic measures of vision, such as dynamic acuity and motion threshold, are independently associated with self-reported difficulty in activities involving vision. METHODS Data were used from the third round of the Salisbury Eye Evaluation (n = 1198), a longitudinal, population-based study of older adults. Multiple measures of visu...

This research extends a static threshold based control strategy used to control headway variation to a dynamic threshold based control strategy. In the static strategy, buses are controlled by setting a threshold value that holds buses at a control point for a certain amount of time before allowing the bus to continue along the route. The threshold remains constant each time the bus stops at th...

In this paper, we discuss a multiperiod portfolio selection problem with fuzzy returns. We present a new credibilitic multiperiod mean semi- absolute deviation portfolio selection with some real factors including transaction costs, borrowing constraints, entropy constraints, threshold constraints and risk control. In the proposed model, we quantify the investment return and risk associated with...
