abstract profile monitoring in statistical quality control has attracted attention of many researchers recently. a profile is a function between response variables and one or more independent variables. there have been only a limited number of researches on monitoring multivariate profiles. indeed, monitoring correlated multivariate profiles is a new subject in the fileld of statistical process...

We present an analytical framework for describing the distortion in an image communications system that includes wavelet transformation, uniform scalar quantization, run length coding, entropy coding, forward error control, and transmission over a binary symmetric channel. Simulations performed using ideal source models as well as real image subbands connrm the accuracy of the distortion descri...

in some statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a relationship between a response and one or more independent variables, which is typically referred to a profile. in this paper, polynomial profiles are considered to monitor processes in which there is a first order autoregressive relation between the error terms in each profile. a remedi...

We discuss a leading-edge model used in the computation of the run-out length of dry-flowing avalanches. The model has the form of a singular initial value problem for a scalar ordinary differential equation describing the avalanche dynamics. Existence, uniqueness and smoothness properties of the analytical solution are shown. We also prove the existence of a unique root of the solution. Moreov...

We prove a number of results on the structure and enumeration of palindromes and antipalindromes. In particular, we study conjugates of palindromes, palindromic pairs, rich words, and the counterparts of these notions for antipalindromes.

We present evidence for a novel relational luring effect (RLE) in recognition memory. Participants performed a continuous associative recognition task in which they had to discriminate between new, old and recombined word pairs. Participants made more false alarms and responded more slowly to lures (TABLE CLOTH) that were relationally similar to studied pairs (FLOOR CARPET). RTs and false alarm...

In this paper we consider the following problems: how many different subsets of Σ can occur as set of all length-n factors of a finite word? If a subset is representable, how long a word do we need to represent it? How many such subsets are represented by words of length t? For the first problem, we give upper and lower bounds of the form α 2 n in the binary case. For the second problem, we giv...
