Power line communication (PLC) channel as a medium for high speed data communication transmission based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered. It is an environment with frequency selective and multipath fading features which has been contaminated by impulsive noise. These deficiencies in power line communications degrade the accuracy of channel estimation. In this a...

Insufficient effort responding (IER; Huang, Curran, Keeney, Poposki, & DeShon, 2012) to surveys has largely been assumed to be a source of random measurement error that attenuates associations between substantive measures. The current article, however, illustrates how and when the presence of IER can produce a systematic bias that inflates observed correlations between substantive measures. Not...

The synchrosqueezed transform was proposed recently in [Daubechies et al. (2009)] as an alternative to the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) [Huang et al. (1998)], to decompose composite signals into a sum of “modes” that each have well-defined instantaneous frequencies. This paper presents, for synchrosqueezing, a study similar to that in [Rilling and Flandrin (2008)] for EMD, of how two sign...

Ma huang, the dried plant stem of ephedra intermedia Schrenk et C.A., contains an ephedrine-type alkaloid and has been used for weight loss. Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino acid peptide, is concentrated in the hypothalamus and stimulates feeding desire. In this study, the effect of ma huang on the expressions of NPY in the hypothalamus of rats was investigated using immunohistochemistry. Food-...

Morphological variation of Huangiella lanyuensis (Huang, 2001) and Tumoris sanasaii Huang, 2001 from Taiwan was analyzed using multivariate statistical methods. We show that these species are the same and propose to use the name Tumoris sanasaii. No significant differences between populations from Lanyu and Green Island (type localities for Huangiella lanyuensis and Tumoris sanasaii, respective...

HUANG, YUFAN. Gossip-based Information Spreading in Mobile and Social Networks. (Under the direction of Dr. Huaiyu Dai.) We study the performance of gossip-based information spreading in different network models. Our study is conducted in two major different circumstances: mobile networks and social networks. In mobile networks, we mainly study two problems: single-piece information spreading w...
