The problem of recovering a signal from the magnitude of its short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is a longstanding one in audio signal processing. Existing approaches rely on heuristics which often perform poorly because of the nonconvexity of the problem. We introduce a formulation of the problem that lends itself to a tractable convex program. We observe that our method yields better reconstr...

The concept of lateral violence (LV) also is known as horizontal violence, bullying, or aggression (Griffin, 2004). Other terms in the literature relating to this concept are horizontal hostility, verbal abuse, or “nurses eating their young” (see Figure 1). The phenomenon has been described in nursing literature for more than 25 years (Farrell, 1997; Roberts, 1983). The literature defines LV as...
