The biotechnology revolution stems from rapid advances in the biological sciences. One important product of these advances is a large and rapidly growing data base of biopolymer (DNA, RNA, and protein) sequences, which has attracted much attention from researchers in diierent elds. The great majority of the techniques generated for studying these data have been designed to analyze a single sequ...

There exist certain nonlinear evolution PDEs which can be mapped to linear evolution PDEs. The prototypical such linearizable PDE is the so-called Burger's equation u t − u xx = 2uu x , (1.1) which can be written in the conservation form ∂ t u = ∂ x (u x + u 2). Employing the so-called Cole-Hopf transformation u = q x q (1.2) and using the identity ∂ t q x q = ∂ t ∂ x ln q = ∂ x ∂ t ln q = ∂ x ...

The estimation accuracy is mostly affected by the time-dependent growth of inertial sensor errors, especially the stochastic errors. In order to eliminate negative effect of these random errors, they must be accurately modelled. Usually the stochastic models are based by the 1 or 2 Gauss-Markov models, where the key is the successful implementation that depends on how well the noise statistics ...

In this paper we consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals in the presence of nuisance parameters. We discuss a generalization of the unified method of Feldman and Cousins (1998) with nuisance parameters. We demonstrate our method with several examples that arise frequently in High Energy Physics and Astronomy. We also discuss the hybrid resampling method of Chuang and Lai (1998...

In the present article, we introduce the continuous unified electronic (CUE) diary method, a longitudinal, event-based, electronic parent report method that allows real-time recording of infant and child behavior in natural contexts. Thirty-nine expectant mothers were trained to identify and record target behaviors into programmed handheld computers. From birth to 18 months, maternal reporters ...

Fault diagnosis is important in improving the design process and the manufacturing yield of nanometer circuits. It is however a challenging problem as today’s complex defects lead to an explosion of the diagnosis solution space with the increasing number of possible fault locations and fault models. Our goal in this study consists in developing a new diagnosis method targeting almost all the na...

This paper presents a complete behavioral PSpice model for IGBT transistor. A voltage dependent capacitance is modeled using a second order polynomial and “arctan” function. The simulation results for I-V static and transfer characteristics and their comparisons with datasheets are shown. The dynamic model verification is carried out using PSpice simulations and experimental measurements of the...
