The complicated structure of fMRI signals and associated noise sources make it difficult to assess the validity of various steps involved in the statistical analysis of brain activation. Most methods used for fMRI analysis assume that observations are independent and that the noise can be treated as white gaussian noise. These assumptions are usually not true but it is difficult to assess how s...

Pseudorandom binary sequences with high linear complexity and low correlation function values are sought in many applications of modern communication systems. A new family of pseudorandom binary sequences, cascaded GMW sequences, is constructed. These sequences are shown to share many desirable correlation properties with the GMW sequences of Gordon, Mills, and Welch, for example high shifted a...

Let p be an odd prime and n = 2m with p ≡ 1 (mod 4). In this paper, the cross-correlation distribution between two decimated sequences of a p-ary m-sequence, s(2t+ i) with i ∈ {0, 1} and s(d′t) with d′ = 2d, d = ( p +1 2 ) is determined.

The present paper proposes two methods for constructing new asymmetric ZCZ sequence sets. ZCZ sequence sets are used as spreading sequences for AS-CDMA systems. An asymmetric ZCZ sequence set is a type of ZCZ sequence set and consists of multiple sequence subsets. Compared with conventional ZCZ sequence sets, the most important property of the proposed asymmetric ZCZ sequence sets is that the c...

Since its launch on October 2002 the INTEGRAL satellite is performing an deep survey of the hard X–ray sky with unprecedented sensitivity and positional accuracy. This allowed pinpointing, through positional cross-correlation with catalogs at longer wavelengths, possible optical/near-infrared candidates for the hard X–ray sources of still unknown nature. In this presentation I will describe thi...

Several results have been reported in the literature on the performance of various diversity combining schemes for wireless communications systems. Typically for convenience it is assumed that the signal envelopes in the diversity branches are uncorrelated with one another. However, in practice the envelopes will be correlated. In this paper a procedure to generate two equal power Rayleigh fadi...

By studying cross correlations in the intensity of light scattered by a fluid sample in different directions at different times, it is possible to measure the dynamic scattering function S(k,t) for the fluid. The multiple scattering contribution to the time-dependent cross correlations is very substantially less than the multiple scattering contribution to S(k,t) as obtained by a conventional s...

Industrial process signals do affect one other. However, causal dependencies, or correlation, and thereby consequences of control actions cannot always be understood by the operator, which may lead to accidents. Models explain dependencies and are mostly built on process knowledge and blueprints, while causalities are visible in the measurements and ought to be used to increase process understa...

Approximation of acoustic Green’s functions through cross-correlation of acoustic signals in the ocean is a relatively young field that has become an area of interest over the past few years. Although the amplitudes of these estimates generally differ from those of the true Green’s Function, the estimated arrival structure can be highly accurate. Interhydrophone travel times extracted from thes...
