The 17th ISCHS took place in Osaka, Japan, on 23 to 25 September 2013. This symposium focuses on an exchange of views on the structure and function of hepatic sinusoidal cells in addition to their roles in clinical pathophysiology.

The sinusoidal model has proven useful for representation and modi cation of speech and audio. One drawback, however, is that a sinusoidal signal model is typically derived using a xed frame size, which corresponds to a rigid signal segmentation. For nonstationary signals, the resolution limitations that result from this rigidity lead to reconstruction artifacts. It is shown in this paper that ...

Contrast sensitivity functions to vertical sinusoidal gratings have been measured in 135 subjects ranging from 3 to 29 years of age. The reported contrast sensitivities for all spatial frequencies increased steadily with age, reaching adult levels during adolescence. The usefulness of these functions as a clinical test is discussed.

conclusions atypical irregular tumors should be considered as sos when the patient has received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. a qualitative imaging modality diagnosis, such as with diffusion-weighted mri, is superior to a morphological diagnosis in focal sos. this imaging modality can prevent unnecessary operations. case presentation a 40-year-old woman with rectal cancer underwent high anter...

The sinusoidal speech model represents a speech signal as a linear combination of sinusoids with time-varying parameters {amplitudes, frequencies, and phases}. However, one drawback of this model is that the analysis window width is generally fixed in analyzing the signal. Since each sinusoidal parameter has different frequencies, an analysis window with fixed width can’t guarantee an optimum s...

In this paper, the indirect matrix converter is systematically studied with the single-pole-multiple-pole representation. A carrier based PWM algorithm is developed in two steps. First, the continuous modulation functions for all the throws are derived based on the desired sinusoidal input currents. Then the switching functions are derived from the modulation functions with focus on the zero cu...

In this paper, we address the estimation of the parameters of the two dimensional sinusoidal signal model. The proposed method is the two dimensional extension of the one dimensional noise space decomposition method. The proposed methods provide consistent estimators of the unknown parameters and they are non-iterative in nature. We propose a pairing algorithm also, which helps in identifying t...

ABSTRACT: Probability theory is applied to the problem of estimating the amplitudes of the sinusoids in nuclear magnetic resonance data containing two exponentially decaying sinusoids. The posterior probability-density of one of the amplitudes is derived independent of the phases, frequencies, decay-rate constants, variance of the noise, and the amplitude of the other sinusoid. This probability...
