Hematological profiles of cyclists fluctuates are based on the volume/frequency/intensity of training. The present study examined the effects of training load on the cyclist’s biochemical profile which may be associated with over training. Twelve male cyclists volunteered to participate in this study. The participants completed a systematic training program which was divided into four phases i....

We present an all-optical passive low-cost spectral filter that exhibits a high-resolution periodic sawtooth spectral pattern without the need for active optoelectronic components. The principle of the filter is the partial masking of a phased array of virtual light sources with multiply jammed diffraction orders. We utilize the filter's periodic linear map between frequency and intensity to de...

A collection of MATLAB classes for computing and using spherical harmonic transforms is presented. Methods of these classes compute differential operators on the sphere and are used to solve simple partial differential equations in a spherical geometry. The spectral synthesis and analysis algorithms using fast Fourier transforms and Legendre transforms with the associated Legendre functions are...

We consider the asymptotic behavior of Fourier transforms of stationary and ergodic sequences. Under sufficiently mild conditions, central limit theorems are established for almost all frequencies as well as for a given frequency. Applications to the widely used linear processes and iterated random functions are discussed. Our results shed new light on the foundation of spectral analysis in tha...

A DSP technique that transforms a digital signal by warping the frequency axis is discussed. The technique corresponds to a mapping of the samples in the z-domain such that they are unevenly spaced around the unit circle. A spectral warping network has the property that a timeshifted impulse function is transformed into a chirp function. This can have useful applications in the analysis of the ...

Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels have a vast application in automotive industry because of theirhigh strength, high ductility and hence excellent energy absorption capacity. These characteristics of TRIPsteels are due to the existence of retained austenite in their microstructures in the ambient temperature, whichtransforms to the martensite phase during deforma...

Particles in a storage ring are oscillating in the longitudinal and transverse dimensions, and therefore, the frequency domain is natural for analyzing many beam generated signals. Information ranging from oscillation frequencies to beam phase space distributions can be extracted from the spectral content of these signals. It is often necessary to switch between time and frequency domains using...
