A6strmtAdaptive IIR (infinite impulse response) filters are particularly beneficial in modeling real systems because they require lower computational complexity and can model sharp resonances more efficiently as compared to the FIR (finite impulse response) counterparts. Unfortunately, a number of drawbacks are associated with adaptive IIR filtering algorithms that have prevented their widespre...

A novel method of the IIR filter design using the genetic algorithm is described in the paper. Newly, a simplex direct search method is included to the algorithm to enable its faster convergence. The design procedure is implemented in the MATLAB program environment. The genetic algorithm applied is able to find a solution of the task successfully. Filter coefficients quantization process is inc...

In traditional warped FIR and IIR filters, the frequency-warping profile is adjusted by a single free parameter, leading to a less flexible allocation of frequency resolution. As an example, it is not possible to achieve a truly logarithmic frequency resolution, which would be often desired in audio applications. In this paper a new approach is presented for warped IIR filter design where the f...

The problem of mapping data flow graphs (DFGs) of infinite impulse responce (IIR) filtering algorithms into application specific structure is considered. Methods of optimization of DFGs are considered for the purpose of finding IIR filter structures with the high throughput and hardware utilization. Optimization method is proposed which takes into account structural properties of FPGA, minimize...

Doxorubicin (Dox) is extensively used for chemotherapy in different types of cancer, but its use is limited to because of its cardiotoxicity. Our previous studies found that doxorubicin-induced insulin-like growth factor II receptor (IGF-IIR) accumulation causes cardiomyocytes apoptosis via down-regulation of HSF1 pathway. In these studies, we demonstrated a new mechanism through which anthocya...

In this paper the problem of the frequency estimation of a sinusoid embedded in white noise is considered. The approach used herein is the minimization of the sample variance of the output of constrained notch filters fed by the noisy sinusoid. In particular, this paper focuses on closed-form expressions of the frequency estimate, which can be obtained using notch filters having an all-zeros FI...

Stabilizing mast cells (MCs) can either inhibit or augment inflammation; however, how improved therapeutic benefits against small intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI) can be achieved by stabilizing MCs remains to be elucidated. The present study was designed to evaluate different treatments with cromolyn sodium (CS, an MC stabilizer), which was administrated either prior to ischemia or...

nanocomposite samples based on elastomer blends of butyl rubber (iir) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (epdm) were prepared using a laboratory scale two-roll mill in order to study the effect of cloisite 15a organoclay content (i.e., 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt%) on the mechanical and morphological properties  of  iir/epdm/cloisite  15a  nanocomposites  compared  to  the  unflled epdm/iir blends. rheo...

Signals in a two-channel quadrature mirror filter bank are decomposed into low and high frequency components. Similarly, analytic signals can be extracted from the original signal with only positive or negative frequency contents. Multirate systems based on this idea are called quadrature mirror Hilbert transformers. Just like the case of quadrature mirror filter banks, the FIR and IIR designs ...

Digital filters for recursively computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and estimating the frequency spectrum of sampled signals are examined, with an emphasis on magnitude-response and numerical stability. In this tutorial-style treatment, existing recursive techniques are reviewed, explained and compared within a coherent framework; some fresh insights are provided and new enhancements...
