An iterative method is introduced for solving noisy, ill-conditioned inverse problems. Analysis of the semi-convergence behavior identifies three error components iteration error, noise error, and initial guess error. A derived expression explains how the three errors are related to each other relative to the number of iterations. The Standard Tikhonov regularization method is just the first it...

This paper is concerned with floating-point filters for a two dimensional orientation problem which is a basic problem in the field of computational geometry. If this problem is only approximately solved by floating-point arithmetic, then an incorrect result may be obtained due to accumulation of rounding errors. A floatingpoint filter can quickly guarantee the correctness of the computed resul...

The research work covers the query optimization concept in parallel distributed environment. The queries considered are select-project-join (SPJ) queries with large databases. The main query operation considered for research is JOIN operation of the query. For fast execution of a complex query, JOIN operation time needs to be minimized. Different JOIN operation algorithms such as Network Byte O...

Abstract—A novel low-pass filter (LPF) is designed and fabricated based on stepped-impedance resonator (SIR). Semi-circles are used to reduce the size of the filter. The open-circuited stubs are used in the filter, and its simplified equivalent circuit is also proposed. The measured 3 dB cutoff frequency is 5.2GHz with no more than 0.3 dB ripple level in the pass-band. From 5.5 to 14 GHz, the i...

This work explores aeronautical telemetry communication performance with the SOQPSKTG ARTM waveforms when frequency-selective multipath corrupts received information symbols. A multi-antenna equalization scheme is presented where each antenna’s unique multipath channel is equalized using a pilot-aided optimal linear minimum mean-square error filter. Following independent channel equalization, a...

In this paper, by considering the notion of hyper hoop-algebras, we define the concepts of (strong) regular relations on hyper hoop-algebras and investigate some properties of them. Then we construct a quotient (hyper) hoop-algebra by a (strong)regular relation on hyper hoop-algebras. Finally, we define the notion of maximal filter and we investigate the relation between quotient simple hyper h...

Dependability is getting a more important non-functional property of a system. Measuring and predicting the dependability is especially important for autonomous or semi-autonomous and safety-critical systems. Since, at least for (semi-) autonomous systems, those systems are usually described by their behavior, a definition for dependability based on the behavior of the system is evident. In thi...

given a non-abelian finite group $g$, let $pi(g)$ denote the set of prime divisors of the order of $g$ and denote by $z(g)$ the center of $g$. thetextit{ prime graph} of $g$ is the graph with vertex set $pi(g)$ where two distinct primes $p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge if and only if $g$ contains an element of order $pq$ and the textit{non-commuting graph} of $g$ is the graph with the vertex s...

In this paper, the equivalence relation between a semi-infinite quadratically constrained convex quadratic programming problem and a combined semidefinite and semi-infinite programming problem is considered. Then, an efficient and reliable discretization algorithm for solving a general class of combined semidefinite and semi-infinite programming problems is developed. Both the continuoustime en...

BACKGROUND In acute myocardial infarction, distal embolization of debris during primary percutaneous catheter intervention may curtail microvascular reperfusion of the infarct region. Our randomized trial investigated whether distal protection with a filter device can improve microvascular perfusion and reduce infarct size after primary percutaneous catheter intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
