Estuarine navigation channels have long been recognized as conduits for saltwater intrusion into coastal wetlands. Salt flux decomposition and time series measurements of velocity and salinity were used to examine salt flux components and drivers of baroclinic and barotropic exchange in the Houma Navigation Channel, an estuarine channel located in the Mississippi River delta plain that receives...

We present a polynomial time improvement of the linear channel pin assignment LCPA algorithms presented by Cai and Wong in 1990. We solve the LCPA problem according to minimum channel density under a special priority schedule subject to vertical constraints and ux. The priority driven linear channel pin assignment algorithm (PDCPA) reduces the channel height by an average of 17 % without increa...

In our companion paper [1], an information identity decomposition has been derived, which can be interpreted as a law of conservation of information flows in feedback systems. In this paper, we further investigate this decomposition result when specified to linear time-invariant(LTI) systems connected with additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channels. It is shown that the quantities in the deco...

This paper presents device simulations on the vertical silicon nanowire tunneling FET (VSiNW TFET). Simulations show that a narrow nanowire and thin gate oxide is required for good performance, which is expected even for conventional MOSFETs. The gate length also needs to be more than the nanowire diameter to prevent short channel effects. An effect more unique to TFET is the need for abrupt so...

The block diagonalization (BD) is a linear precoding technique for multi-user multi-input multi-output (MIMO) broadcast channels, which is able to completely eliminate the multi-user interference (MUI), but it is not computationally efficient. In this paper, we propose the block diagonal Jacket matrix decomposition, which is able not only to extend the conventional block diagonal channel decomp...

This paper presents the results of augmenting an INS/GPS navigation system with a barometric altimeter for an autonomous Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The INS/GPS system was designed using a loosely coupled integration architecture that incorporates the GPS navigation solution. The GPS typically has a poor accuracy in the vertical channel due to satellite geometry and atmospheric effects. E...

Changes in vertical larynx position during singing were studied in professional singer subjects using the two-channel electroglottograph recently presented by Rothenberg (1992). The evaluation of the method and the examination of the laryngeal behaviors of professionnl singers were the main aims of the study. The significance of pitch, vocal loudness and lung volume to vertical larynx position ...

putational load numerical arithmetic such as a singular decomposition. A novel second-order statistics-based blind deconvolution and equalizer technique is proposed in this literature. This technique makes use of a two-channel perfect reconstruction jilter bank derived from a two-component polyphase decomposition of transmission channel in order to make exact system identifications possible. Th...

Vertical Velocity Distribution. The baseline condition illustrates the flow pattern expressing the vertical velocity components over the range front-10 to 15 m/s. The baseline case with only a single elevation of overfire air produces a high velocity flow channel attached to the front wall with an associated recirculation down the rear wall of the main combustor section. The optimized case incl...
