There are several windows used to truncate the impulse response in order to fix filter size. Kaiser and Tukey windows are the most important types; from which we can generate other types of windows depending on the variation of ripple parameter. The proposed new window approach is called MSK2 that was implemented to compare its parameters with these two main windows. The characteristics of MSK2...

Data miners (minors?) and neural networkers tend to eschew modelling, misled perhaps by misinterpretation of strongly expressed views of John Tukey. I discuss Vardi’s views of these issues as well as other aspects of Vardi’s work in emision tomography and in sampling bias. Statistics is not in my main skill set but I take this opportunity to record a few thoughts about it I have accumulated ove...

This paper proposes a memristor SPICE model using the Tukey window (or tapered cosine window) function. Compared with the previously proposed models based on the boundary function, the proposed model is resistant to numerical errors. From the SPICE result of a relaxation oscillator, we observe that the proposed model can be effectively used to minimise the effect of round-off errors.

We investigate the structure of the Tukey ordering among directed orders arising naturally in topology and measure theory.

We study the class of analytic ideals on the set of natural numbers ordered under Tukey reducibility. We consider mostly structural issues: characterization of ideals which are Tukey above w”‘, extremal elements for the class of analytic P-ideals, etc. We prove that this class is very rich by embedding into it (P(N), (I,). We also study ideals associated to classical Banach spaces and ideals of...

FIGURE 2 Dose-dependent effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on neutrophil-induced trans-basement membrane migration of eosinophils in healthy volunteers. Neutrophils (2×10 cells) were stimulated with various concentrations of LPS (0.01–100 μg·mL) and then placed into the lower compartment. Eosinophils (1×10 cells) were added to the upper compartment of a chamber with a Matrigel-coated Transwell ...

In recent years, local graph clustering techniques have been utilized as devices to unveil the structured hidden of large networks. With the ever growing size of the data sets generated in domains of applications as diverse as biomedicine and natural language processing, time-efficiency has become a problem of growing importance. We address the improvement of the runtime of local graph clusteri...

We propose Migratory Compression (MC), a coarsegrained data transformation, to improve the effectiveness of traditional compressors in modern storage systems. In MC, similar data chunks are re-located together, to improve compression factors. After decompression, migrated chunks return to their previous locations. We evaluate the compression effectiveness and overhead of MC, explore reorganizat...

In this work we present a study of the vectorization of the fast Fourier transform. The algorithm we have considered is the radix r self-sorting algorithm which does not require additional data reordering stages (digit-reversal) as this process is inherently carried out during the execution of the algorithm. For obtainig the vectorized version of the algorithm we employ a formulation of the FFT...

This chapter reviews Cooley’s idea of the looking glass self, and Goffman’s elaboration. It can be formulated as a conjecture that links two concepts: shared awareness and the social emotions. Cooley assumed that we live in the minds of others, and named pride and shame as the emotions that resulted. Goffman added embarrassment and humiliation. His basic work, Presentation of Self in Everyday L...
