In this study, the fine structures of lightning electromagnetic pulse associated with 19 preliminary breakdown pulses, 37 stepped leaders, 8 dart leaders, 73 first and 52 subsequent return strokes were analyzed by using Laplace wavelet. The main characteristics of field waveforms such as, the correlation coefficient, the time of arrival and the dominant frequency of the initial peak field, the ...

quantitative prediction of municipal solid waste generation has an important role in the optimization and programming of municipal solid waste management system. but, this concept was companied with many problems, because of the non homogenous nature and the effect of various factors out of the control on solid waste generation. in this study, the combination of artificial neural network and wa...

We present a novel integrated wavelet-domain based framework (w-ICA) for 3-D denoising functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data followed by source separation analysis using independent component analysis (ICA) in the wavelet domain. We propose the idea of a 3-D wavelet-based multi-directional denoising scheme where each volume in a 4-D fMRI data set is sub-sampled using the axial, sagi...

The modeling of MEMS passive electrical components is presented. The devices are modeled using the MRTD (multiresolution time-domain) and FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) electromagnetic modeling techniques. Methods are presented that allow these time-domain electromagnetic models to be combined with time-domain motion models of MEMS devices. INTRODUCTION MEMS devices have several character...

In this paper, an improved algorithm of wavelet packet-chaos model for life prediction of space relays based on volterra series is proposed. In the proposed method, the high and low frequency time sequence components of performance parameters are obtained by employing the improved wavelet packet transform to decompose the performance parameters of the relay into multiple scales. Then the optimi...
