In this paper, we present an entropy based approach for DOA estimation in Gaussian and non-Gaussian environments. The DOA estimates are obtained by minimizing an entropy measure of the array data in the noise subspace. We show that the entropy approach leads to the MAP algorithm under the Gaussian assumption. Under the non-Gaussian assumption, we apply the varimax norm as an information measure...

Background: To evaluate the effect of oxytocin on blood circulation of fetus and uterus by Doppler ultrasound. Materials and Methods: Forty six pregnant women were assigned to receive for indication of delivery intravenous oxytocin. Doppler velocitometry before and after administration of oxytocin for umbilical,middle cerebral artery and uterine artery were performed, and Pulsatility index (PI)...

in this work, byemploying the leggett-williams fixed point theorem, we study theexistence of at least three positive solutions of boundary valueproblems for system of third-order ordinary differential equationswith $(p_1,p_2,ldots,p_n)$-laplacianbegin{eqnarray*}left { begin{array}{ll} (phi_{p_i}(u_i''(t)))'  +  a_i(t) f_i(t,u_1(t), u_2(t), ldots, u_n(t)) =0 hspace{1cm} 0  leq t leq 1, alpha_i u...

Several criteria for orthogonal factor rotation are presented and evaluated. They include one or an equally weighted combination of up to three computation rules. The computation rules are Carroll’s (1953) rule, the rule which is complementary to Carroll’s rule as well as a rule constructed according to the expert’s ability to select the most appropriate configuration of high loadings in consid...

In this paper, after a brief overview on laser warning system (LWS), a new structure for an optical array that is used in its optical subsystem is introduced. According to the laser threats’ wavelengths (0.5 – 1.6 µm) and our desirable field of view (FOV), we used 6 lenses for gathering the incident radiation and then optimized the optical array. Lenses’ radius, their se...
