The EM algorithm is a commonly cited solution in the literature for the problem of maximum likelihood estimation of covariance matrices under a Toeplitz constraint. In this paper, the solution is extended to the case of twodimensional signals, where spatial stationarity enforces a Toeplitz-block-Toeplitz structure on the covariance matrix. A further generalisation which is presented involves th...

Over 200 cases of actinide intake, occurring over the last 25 years, have been re-assessed. Cases were selected for which the intake date was known, there was both urine and faecal data and there was negligible interference from earlier intakes. The IMBA software was used to obtain a best fit to the data and establish an estimate of intake for each case. It is found that the magnitudes of the i...

We present a statistical analysis of the recently proposed non-homogeneity detector (NHD) for Gaussian interference statistics. Specifically, we show that a formal goodness-of-fit test can be constructed by accounting for the statistics of the generalized inner product (GIP) used as the NHD test statistic. The normalized-GIP follows a central-F distribution and admits a canonical representation...

The probability of two-photon transition (TPT) under a control field to inhibit the quantum interference and enhance the nonlinear optical cross section is observed. Essentially, this is a V-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with TPT instead of one photon transition. Numerical simulation based on solving the steady state density matrix can qualitatively fit the experimental da...

INTRODUCTION For a stable uncemented acetabular shell or monoblock cup post implantation, the acetabula cavity is reamed to a smaller diameter (up to 4 mm) than that of the component, resulting in an interference fit [1]. Press-fit cups and shells have a range of porous coatings on their outer surface to promote bone ingrowth which support long-term stability. A number of previous FE and experi...

Mutual interference involves direct interactions between individuals of the same species that may alter their foraging success. Larvae of aphidophagous coccinellids typically stay within a patch during their lifetime, displaying remarkable aggregation to their prey. Thus, as larvae are exposed to each other, frequent encounters may affect their foraging success. A study was initiated in order t...

Abstract: Interference fit is an important contact mode used for torque transmission existing widely in engineering design. To prevent trackslip, a certain magnitude of interference has to be ensured; meanwhile, the interference needs to be controlled to avoid failure of the mechanical components caused by high assembly stress. The finite element method (FEM) can be used to analyze the stress, ...

BACKGROUND A low serum total IGF1 is considered as a diagnostic indicator of GH deficiency (GHD) in the presence of hypopituitarism. Introduction of IRMA and chemiluminescent immunometric assay (CLIA) IGF1 immunoassays has introduced endogenous antibodies as a new source of interference. In general, this goes unnoticed and might lead to unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. CA...
