We characterize the flickering observed in the optical lightcurve of the Intermediate Polar system V709 Cas by determining its position in the α-Σ as in the Fritz and Bruch (1998) classification scheme. Σ represents the strength of flickering at a given timescale, while α describes the energy distribution of the flickering at different time scales. Here α is independently obtained with both the...

This paper considers the problem of controlling the solution of an initial boundary-value problem for a wave equation with time-dependent sound speed. The control problem is to determine the optimal sound speed function which damps the vibration of the system by minimizing a given energy performance measure. The minimization of the energy performance measure over sound speed is subjected to the...

Analytical solutions of integral equations, either do not exist or are hard to find. Due to this, many numerical methods have been developed for finding the solutions of integral equations. The use of wavelets has come to prominence during the last two decades. Wavelets can be used as analytical tools for signal processing, numerical analysis and mathematical modeling. The early works concernin...

This report aims to present my research updates on distance function wavelets (DFW) based on the fundamental solutions and general solutions of the Helmholtz, modified Helmholtz, and convection-diffusion equations, which include the isotropic HelmholtzFourier (HF) transform and series, the Helmholtz-Laplace (HL) transform, and the anisotropic convection-diffusion wavelets and ridgelets. The lat...

We present a new unified kernel regression framework on manifolds. Starting with a symmetric positive definite kernel, we formulate a new bivariate kernel regression framework that is related to heat diffusion, kernel smoothing and recently popular diffusion wavelets. Various properties and performance of the proposed kernel regression framework are demonstrated. The method is subsequently appl...

Les auteurs rapportent chez deux nourrissons, l'etude anatomo-clinique d'un cas de kystes alveolaires multiples,et d'un cas d'emphyseme lobaire congenital bilateral.Le troisieme cas concerne un kyste bronchog6nique du poumon gauche,decouvert a l'autopsie d'un nouveau-ne. Dans le quatrieme cas,un emphyseme geant du lobe superieur gauche,decouvert dans un contexte infectieux,a l'age de neuf mois,...
