An adaptive amplitude distortion effect for audio production is introduced. We consider a versatile model of multiband waveshaping with a limited set of intuitive parameters. We propose a method for adaptive scaling of the characteristic amplitude distortion transfer function. A number of methods to automate other distortion parameters are explored, such as automatic balance between clean and d...

This paper discusses recent results on multiple linear agent control satisfying bounded amplitude performance bounds. A model reference control framework is used in which the system's error dynamics are transformed into a linear parameter varying (LPV) system. A collection of setpoints along the reference trajectory are selected and local linear controllers are synthesized which satisfy a bound...

The anesthetic propofol elicits many different spectral properties on the EEG, including alpha oscillations (8-12 Hz), Slow Wave Oscillations (SWO, 0.1-1.5 Hz), and dose-dependent phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) between alpha and SWO. Propofol is known to increase GABAA inhibition and decrease H-current strength, but how it generates these rhythms and their interactions is still unknown. To inve...

The nominal directivity for uniformly spaced broadside parallel half-wave dipoles associated with a uniform excitation is evaluated. The amplitude distribution for an optimized directivity is then obtained for different numbers of elements with the separations between the dipoles as a variable. The optimum and nominal directivities are compared for different spacings of the elements. While thes...

  Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...
