The problem of blind separation of sources is generally solved by using statistical criteria, minimization of contrast function [2], [8], cancelation or minimization of a cost functions [6], [5], [4], [3]. However, using prior knowledge on the sources, new algorithms, basically simpler and more e cient, may be derived [9], [1], [7]. In this paper, assuming that sources have bounded probability ...

We use type IIB brane configurations which were recently suggested by Hanany and Zaffaroni to study four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. We calculate the one loop beta function and realize Seiberg’s duality using a particular configuration. We also comment on the anomaly cancelation condition in the case of chiral theories and the beta function in the case of chiral and SO/Sp the...

background: noise is one of the most important harmful agents in work environment. noise pollution in oil refinery industries is related to workers' health. this study aimed to determine the overall noise pollution of an oil refinery operation and its frequency analysis to determine the control plan for a vent noise in these industries. methods: this experimental study performed in control unit...

This paper investigates the resource allocation problem for a multiuser underlay cognitive system where the secondary system is allowed to transmit and cooperate with the primary system. In this scenario, the secondary users are subject to two main constraints in the presence of the primary user: their total power budget and the allowable interference threshold at the primary receiver. Power an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cancelation on the day of surgery (DoSC) represents a costly wastage of operating room (OR) time and causes inconvenience, emotional distress, and financial cost to families. A quality improvement project sought to reduce lost OR time due to cancelation. METHODS Key drivers of the process included effective 2-way communication with families, compliance with fasting r...

This paper investigates the problem of implementing proportionate-type LMS family of algorithms in hardware for sparse adaptive filtering applications especially the network echo cancelation. We derive a re-formulated proportionate type algorithm through algorithm-architecture co-design methodology that can be pipelined and has an efficient architecture for hardware implementation. We study the...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of FSH doses on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes according to the age of the patient. METHODS Patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for ICSI cycles in a university-affiliated in vitro fertilization center were split into age groups: ≤35 y.o. (n=1523); >35 and ≤38 y.o. (n=652); >38 and ≤40 y.o. (n=332); and >40 y.o. (n=370). ...

In this paper, a new model for adaptive artifact cancelation in impedance cardiography (ICG) signals is presented. It is a hybrid model based on wavelet decomposition and an adaptive filter. A novel feature of this model is the implementation of reference-free adaptive artifact cancellers (AAC). For this implementation, the reference signal is constructed using a wavelet transformation. During ...

The main limitation of FQRD-RLS algorithms is that they lack an explicit weight vector term. Furthermore, they do not directly provide the variables allowing for a straightforward computation of the weight vector as is the case with the conventional QRD-RLS algorithm, where a back-substitution procedure can be used to compute the coefficients. Therefore, the applications of the FQRD-RLS algorit...
