Subband adaptive filters have been proposed to avoid the drawbacks of slow convergence and high computational complexity associated with time domain adaptive filters. Subband processing introduces transmission delays caused by the filter bank and signal degradations due to aliasing effects. One efficient way to reduce the aliasing effects is to allow a higher sample rate than critically needed ...

In this document, we provide additional images and plots to the main paper. First, images of the equilibrium state of benchmark 1 (drop formation) are shown for all surface tension models presented in Sec. 3 in the main paper, combined with different SPH methods (IISPH [ICS∗14], PCISPH [SP09], and WCSPH [BT07]). Further, individual plots for velocities, surface tension forces, and pressure forc...

Imaging systems based on terahertz time-domain spectroscopy offer a range of unique modalities due to the broad bandwidth, sub-picosecond duration, and phasesensitive detection of the THz pulses. Furthermore, an exciting possibility exists to combine spectroscopic characterization and/or identification with imaging because the radiation is broadband in nature. In order to achieve this, novel me...

We propose different concepts of mechanically reconfigurable true-time-delay phase shifters using micro-actuators at millimeter-waves (MMW). The mechanical reconfiguration allows to achieve phase shift reconfiguration with very low losses. One of the proposed concepts has been fully implemented and tested, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance in terms of phase-shift/loss ratio.

In this paper, the analysis of low-frequency zone of the speech signals from the five Spanish vowels, by means of the Teager energy operator (TEO) and the modified group delay functions (MGDF) is proposed for the automatic detection of Parkinson’s disease. According to our findings, different implementations of the TEO are suitable for tackling the problem of the automatic detection of Parkinso...

In December 2010, the Fraser Institute released its twentieth annual measurement of waiting times for medically necessary treatments in Canada (Barua et al., 2010). This most recent measurement shows that the national median waiting time from specialist appointment to treatment increased from 8.0 weeks in 2009 to 9.3 weeks in 2010. But the measurement of waiting times, or the examination of the...

We present space-time-resolved measurements of electromagnetic pulses tunneling through a coaxial electromagnetic band gap structure. The results show that during the tunneling process the field distribution inside the barrier is an exponentially decaying standing wave whose amplitude increases and decreases as it slowly follows the temporal evolution of the input pulse. At no time is a pulse m...
