This work studies the relationship between the energy allocated for transmitting a pair of correlated Gaussian sources over a two-user Gaussian broadcast channel with noiseless channel output feedback (GBCF) and the resulting distortion at the receivers. Our goal is to characterize the minimum transmission energy required for broadcasting a pair of source samples, such that each source can be r...

We report that the DNA methylation profile of a child's neonatal whole blood can be significantly influenced by his or her mother's neonatal blood lead levels (BLL). We recruited 35 mother-infant pairs in Detroit and measured the whole blood lead (Pb) levels and DNA methylation levels at over 450,000 loci from current blood and neonatal blood from both the mother and the child. We found that mo...

This position paper addresses topic 1 of the workshop: MoDES challenges in industrial practice. It highlights lessons learnt from three applications of model-driven development for software embedded in vehicular safety restraints, aerospace and secure radio communication systems. While our experiences in these three fields of application are compared and contrasted the emphasis will be placed o...

To obtain a luminosity of 1034cm-2sec-’ in a TeV Linear Collider (TLC), it will probably be necessary to accelerate many bunches in one filling of the RF structure. This has the effect of extracting more energy from the structure and thus enhances the overall efficiency of the accelerator. However, this leads to many problems. First, the train of bunches is subject to cumulative beam breakup tr...

We measure the low lying eigenmodes of an overlap Dirac operator on 2–flavor staggered configurations. By comparing the eigenmode distribution to the predictions of Random Matrix Theory we test to what accuracy staggered configurations describe continuum QCD. The agreement between the numerical data and RMT implies that at our quark mass values the lattice artifacts of the staggered configurati...

Following recent theoretical developments of the radiative transfer theory of elastic waves, we propose to use the ratio R of energies of curl and divergence part of the ground displacement to distinguish between the different possible dominant scattering regimes in the lithosphere. A consequence of the diffusion regime is the partitioning of the energy between different vibrational modes, whic...

The nearest neighbor level spacing and D3 distributions indicate that the vibrational spectrum of CH2ð~aA1Þ is largely chaotic. Nevertheless, regular localized states coexist with the chaotic ones and they are related to overtone states of the principal vibrational modes. Periodic orbits accompanied by a stability analysis identify these states and explain their topologies and localization in c...

this study investigates the contributions of atlantic ocean to june-august rainfall over uganda and western kenya (ku). the study has utilized the datasets including precipitation from the global precipitation climatology centre, north atlantic oscillation index (naoi), south atlantic ocean dipole index (saodi), era-interim reanalysis, and the atlantic ocean sea surface temperature (sst). singu...

Electronic absorption and Raman spectra of solid and molten Cs2NaHoCl6 elpasolite have been measured in the temperature range 20 – 780 ◦C. The Raman spectra of the solid indicate that there is no phase transition above room temperature. It appears, that the internal vibrational modes of the solid are transferred into the melt, indicating that the [HoCl6]3− “octahedra” are the predominant specie...

We propose an alternative to the usual time–independent Born–Oppenheimer approximation that is specifically designed to describe molecules with Hydrogen bonds. In our approach, the masses of the Hydrogen nuclei are scaled differently from those of the heavier nuclei, and we employ a specialized form for the electron energy level surface. Consequently, anhar-monic effects play a role in the lead...
