We develop and validate a Modified Beer-Lambert law for blood flow based on diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measurements. The new formulation enables blood flow monitoring from temporal intensity autocorrelation function data taken at single or multiple delay-times. Consequentially, the speed of the optical blood flow measurement can be substantially increased. The scheme facilitates blo...

1] proved that if Y k0 (1 0 z F k) = X k0 "(k)z k ; then "(k) = 0 or 61 for any k 0. Tamura [7] generalized this result by proving the following theorem: Let fR k g k0 be a linear recurrence of positive integers satisfying R k+n = R k+n01 + 1 1 1 + R k (k 0) with n 2 and let P(z) = Y k0 (1 0 z R k) = X k0 "(k)z k : Then, if n is even, f"(k) j k 0g is a nite set; if in addition R k = 2 k (0 k n0...

The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder characterised by defective neurotransmitter release at autonomic neurones and presynaptic terminals of the neuromuscular junction. It is caused by an IgG autoantibody formed against especially the P/Q type of voltagegated calcium channels (VGCC) which is an essential component of the mechanism of neurotransmitter release. Many pa...

RATIONALE The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a neuromuscular disease; its unique symptoms of LEMS include dry mouth with a metallic taste, constipation, and erectile dysfunction. As it is quite rare, isolated ocular muscle impairment associated with LEMS east to ignore. PATIENT CONCERNS A 65-year-old man presented with alternating ptosis and diplopia. Isolated ocular muscle impai...

Problem statement: For ordinary dynamic systems (i.e., non-delayed), various methods such as linear least-squares, gradient-weighted least-squares, Kalman filtering and other robust techniques have been widely used in signal processing, robotics, civil engineering. On the other hand, time-delay estimation of systems with unknown time-delay is still a challenging problem due to difficulty in for...
