This paper presents modifications to procedures for designing FIR interpolating filters and FIR Nyquist filters that allow the output of the filter to be error-free for certain input frequencies. For a minimum mean-square error interpolator, the modifications result in an expanded set of linear equations which include the constraints. For minimax stop-band Nyquist filters, the modifications inv...

background: the national health accounts keep track of all healthcare related activities from the beginning (i.e. resource provision), to the end (i.e. service provision). this study was conducted to address following questions: how is the iranian health system funded? who distribute the funds? for what services are the funds spent on?, what service providers receive the funds? methods: the req...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the effect of different exercise intensities on spontaneous physical activity energy expenditure in overweight adolescents. METHODS A crossover study was developed with a control session, followed by moderate and vigorous exercise sessions, with six days of monitoring each. Twenty-four adolescents, 11-13 years old, male and overweight were selected. Spontaneous physical act...

This paper investigates the association between different kinds of budgetary expenditure and economic growth of Poland. The empirical analysis makes use of linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests to evaluate the applicability of Wagner’s Law and that of the contrasting Keynesian theory. We employ aggregate and disaggregate data with the sub-categories of most important budgetary expenditur...

By analysing the hydrographs of karst springs it is possible to identify aquifer characteristics and, accordingly, the main features of a karst rock-fissure massif. Consequently, relevant data can be obtained by analysing hydrograph recession curves. This paper presents a detailed analysis and explanation of numerous cases of break points on recession curves via various values of the recession ...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the trend of expenditure on drug-related psychiatric hospital admissions in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil, from 1999 to 2012. METHOD Ecological time series research with secondary data from the hospital information system of the unified health system ("SIH-SUS"). The records of admissions with a main diagnosis of drug abuse were used to calculate average expenditure. Chapter V ...

Given a linear functional system (e.g., ordinary/partial differential system, differential time-delay system, difference system), Serre’s reduction aims at finding an equivalent linear functional system which contains fewer equations and fewer unknowns. The purpose of this paper is to study Serre’s reduction of underdetermined linear systems of partial differential equations with either polynom...

Issue du monde des bibliothèques (bibliothèques numériques en particulier), l’expression système d’organisation des connaissances (SOC, en anglais : Knowledge Organization System, KOS) « englobe tous les types de schèmes permettant d’organiser des informations et de promouvoir la gestion des connaissances » (Hodge, 2000). Les SOC « comprennent les schèmes de classification et de catégorisation ...

National accounts data provide the most comprehensive overview available of developments in national economies. They are of great interest to a wide range of users of economic information. These users, which include governments formulating budgetary policies, central banks making monetary policy decisions, businesses considering investment decisions and financial institutions making judgements ...
