in this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twome...

This paper proposes an importance sampling methodology for the performance evaluation of a class of open-loop receivers with random carrier phase tracking in additive white Gaussian noise channels. The receivers, consisting of a bank of extended Kalman-Bucy filters and a decision algorithm based on the filters’ innovations processes, perform symbol-by-symbol phase detection while kepping track ...

White-collar crime is financial crime committed by upper-class members of society for personal or organizational gain. White-collar criminals are individuals who tend to be wealthy, highly educated and socially connected, and they are typically employed by, and within, legitimate organizations. Ever since Edwin Sutherland first introduced the concept of “white-collar” crime in 1939, researchers...

We study the linear filtering problem for systems driven by continuous Gaussian processes V1 and V2 with memory described by two parameters. The processes Vj have the virtue that they possess stationary increments and simple semimartingale representations simultaneously. It allows for straightforward parameter estimations. After giving the semimartingale representations of Vj by innovation theo...

Klüver-Bucy (KBS) syndrome is a rare and complicated neurobehavioral syndrome in humans resulting from damage of bilateral anterior temporal portion, especially the amygdala. It can be seen in association with a variety of etiologies. Stroke is a rarely reported. Here we present a 50-year-old right handed man who developed persistent KBS after cardioembolic stroke involving bilateral lateral te...

Crude and corrected amygdaloid volumes were computed from magnetic resonance scans in ten patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 25 patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and 27 controls. Amygdaloid atrophy was present in FTD (P , 0:005) compared to controls, and a trend for increasing atrophy from controls, through FTD to AD (P for trend ,0.00005) showed that FTD amygdaloid volumes were ...

A novel, transfer-function solution of the Kalman-Bucy time-invariant filtering problem is presented. It is assumed that both message model and noise intensities are time invariant and that the mixture of message and noise has been observed over an infinite interval. This transfer-function approach is based on matrix fractions and spectral factorization of polynomial matrices. It offers an inte...
