Power Spectral Density (PSD) of quasi-stationary processes can be efficiently estimated using the short time Fourier series (STFT). In this paper, an algorithm has been proposed that computes the PSD of quasi-stationary process efficiently using offline autoregressive model order estimation algorithm, recursive parameter estimation technique and modified sliding window discrete Fourier Transfor...

Understanding variability of population abundances is of central concern to theoretical and applied evolutionary ecology, yet quantifying the conceptually simple idea has been substantially problematic. Standard statistical measures of variability are particularly biassed by rare events, zero counts and other ‘non-Gaussian’ behaviour, which are often inappropriately weighted or excluded from an...

The selective loss of somatostatin (SST)-containing interneurons from the hilus of the dentate gyrus is a hallmark of epileptic hippocampus. The functional consequence of this loss, including its contribution to postseizure hyperexcitability, remains unclear. We address this issue by characterizing the actions of SST in mouse dentate gyrus using electrophysiological techniques. Although the maj...

We present the formulation and experimental results of a new approach to designing internal mode converter reflectors for high-power gyrotrons. The method employs a numerical phase retrieval algorithm that reconstructs the field in the mode converter from intensity measurements, thus accounting for the true field structure in shaping the beam-forming reflectors. An outline for designing a four-...

Wavelet thresholding is a signal estimation technique that exploits the capabilities of wavelet transform for signal denoising. But the choice of thresholding function has restricted there wide spread use in image denoising application. In this paper we proposed a computationally more efficient thresholding scheme by incorporating the neighbouring wavelet coefficients, with different threshold ...

This paper introduces a technique of distortion estimation in image watermarking using Genetic Programming (GP). The distortion is estimated by considering the problem of obtaining a distorted watermarked signal from the original watermarked signal as a function regression problem. This function regression problem is solved using GP, where the original watermarked signal is considered as an ind...

a new fourier transform-infra red (ft-ir) spectrometric method was developed for assaying hydrochlorothiazide (hct) and enalapril maleate (enm) in binary solid pharmaceutical formulations. multivariate partial least squares (pls) method was used for calibration of derivative spectral data. acetonitrile was used as solvent due to its spectral transparency and adequate solubility of analytes in i...
