background and objectives: work sampling is a useful technique to characterize how employees allocate their work time to various activities. given the value of nurses’ time for quality health care delivery, characterization of nursing time distribution may provide useful information for optimal use of nursing staff. the purpose of the present study was to explore time allocation by nurses using...

The electronic absorption spectral line shape of a diatomic molecule with harmonic potential curves is calculated using the time correlation function formalism. Both the equilibrium shift and the frequency shift of the two linking electronic states ate taken into account. The spectrum is also calculated using the cumulated expansion which is related to the correlation function of the time-d...

I present a new method for removing unwanted components from neurophysiological recordings such as magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), or multichannel electrophysiological or optical recordings. A spatiotemporal filter is designed to partition recorded activity into noise and signal components, and the latter are projected back to sensor space to obtain clean data. To ob...

This paper analyzes the phenomena and illustrates the well known result that classical acoustic front end processors including spectrum and cepstra based techniques su er from timeshift. After describing the e ect of sample sized shifts on the spectral estimates of the signal, we propose several techniques which take advantage of shift variations to multiply the amount of training that speech u...

Feedback with carry shift registers (FCSRs) are arithmetic analogs of linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). In this paper we survey some of the basic properties of FCSRs. For comparison, we first review some basic facts about LFSRs. We then define FCSRs and discuss their relation to the N -adic numbers. This leads to the analysis of periodicity of FCSR sequences, their exponential representa...
