| Damage detection using guided Lamb waves is an important tool in Structural health Monitoring. In this paper, we outline a method of obtaining Lamb wave modes in composite structures using two dimensional Spectral Finite Elements. Using this approach, Lamb wave dispersion curves are obtained for laminated composite structures with different fibre orientation. These propagating Lamb wave modes...

In this paper, we introduce new upper bounds for the bit and burst error probabilities, when a convolutional code is used for transmission over a binary input, additive white Gaussian noise channel, and the decoder performs maximum likelihood decoding. The bounds are tighter than existing bounds, and non-trivial also for signal-to-noise ratios below the computational cutoff rate.

There is accumulating evidence that two aspects of the innate immune response, the respiratory burst and secretion of proteases, are intimately intertwined. A recent study suggests that K(+) may be the missing link. Is it time to merge signal transduction with biophysics?

the prediction of the joint angle position, especially during tremor bursts, can be useful for detecting, tracking, and forecasting tremors. thus, this research proposes a new model for predicting the wrist joint position during rhythmic bursts and inter‑burst intervals. since a tremor is an approximately rhythmic and roughly sinusoidal movement, neural oscillators have been selected to underli...

Cognitive communication behavior is becoming a research hotspot in the field of confrontation. In theory, behavioral intention noncooperating parties can be obtained by analyzing signals. Considering complexity actual electromagnetic environment, even when signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) low, certain accuracy still needs to guaranteed. this paper, according five types physical burst waveforms defin...

Very often in signal analysis it is necessary to determine certain points in the signal waveform as anchor points for the processing. . This paper proposes a strategy to fmd automatically the voice onset for initial vowels, the burst point for voiceless and voiced stops and the release point for nasals. The presented approach exploits only the information inherent in the waveform of the signal ...

TZVETELINA (LINA) BATTESTILLI Performance Analysis of Optical Burst Switched Networks with Dynamic Simultaneous Link Possession. (Under the direction of Professor HARRY G. PERROS). Given the current state of the technology, the Optical Burst Switched (OBS) network is the most practical all-optical architecture. The user data is transmitted in variable size data packets, called bursts, which tra...
