The interfacial coupling of two materials with different ordered phases, such as a superconductor (S) and a ferromagnet (F), is driving new fundamental physics and innovative applications. For example, the creation of spin-filter Josephson junctions and the demonstration of triplet supercurrents have suggested the potential of a dissipationless version of spintronics based on unconventional sup...

In the feed forward Active Noise Control system (ANC) with secondary path modelling there are two important requirements to be satisfied. The first is that an accurate estimate of ) (z S should be produced, regardless of the controller transfer function ) (z W . This independence property will ensure that the overall ANC system is robust. The second requirement is that the adaptive filter ) ( ˆ...

We investigated whether dried cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) conserved on filter paper can be used as a substrate for accurate PCR diagnosis of important causes of bacterial meningitis in the Lao PDR. Using mock CSF, we investigated and optimized filter paper varieties, paper punch sizes, elution volumes and quantities of DNA template to achieve sensitive and reliable detection of bacterial DNA from...

In this paper, a special preprocessing operations (filter) is proposed to decrease the effects of noise of textures. This filter using average of circular neighbor points (Cmean) to reduce noise effect. Comparing this filter with other average filters such as square mean filter and square median filter indicates that it provides more noise reduction and increases the classification accuracy...

Hierarchical access control is an important and traditional problem in information security. In 2001, Wu et.al. proposed an elegant solution for hierarchical access control by the secure-filter. Jeng and Wang presented an improvement of Wu et. al.’s method by the ECC cryptosystem. However, secure-filter method is insecure in dynaminc access control. Lie, Hsu and Tripathy, Paul pointed out some ...

in this paper, using annular resonator we have designed an adding and dropping filter light based ontwo-dimensional photonic crystals. the shape of ring resonator filter adding and dropping that wehave proposed is race track. this filter has a hexagonal lattice structure of silicon bars withrefractive index 3/46 that is located in the context of air with refractive index 1. transmissionefficien...

in this paper, a novel matched filter based on a new kernel function with cauchy distribution is introduced to improve the accuracy ofthe automatic retinal vessel detection compared with other available matched filter‑based methods, most notably, the methods builton gaussian distribution function. several experiments are conducted to pick the best values of the parameters for the new designedfi...

The security of data exchange is considered a significant problem. It requires the use of various cryptographic algorithms, such as stream cipher and block cipher. The implementation of a secure cryptographic block cipher algorithm requires the generation of strong substitution and permutation layers. These layers should satisfy the principles of security (diffusion and confusion). The proposed...

The aim of this paper is to investigate ways to optimize the accuracy of photometric redshifts for a Supernova Acceleration Probe (SNAP)-like mission. We focus on how the accuracy of the photometric redshifts depends on the magnitude limit and signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), wavelength coverage, and the number of filters and their shapes and observed galaxy type. We use simulated galaxy catalogs c...

background: in myocardial perfusion spect imaging, images are degraded by photon attenuation, the distance-dependent collimator, detector response and photons scatter. filters greatly affect quality of nuclear medicine images materials and methods: a phantom simulating heart left ventricle was built. about 1mci of 99mtc was injected into the phantom. images were taken from this phantom. some fi...
