When determining lower limb loading (LLL) sources of error include the vibration of kinematic marker plates and how the motion and force data are digitally filtered. This study examined LLL during dynamic actions with reduced marker vibration using a tibial plate (TP) and two different levels of filtering severity (15 Hz and 35 Hz cut-offs). The increase of the filter cut-off frequency for the ...

Extended Abstract. Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g., people, organizations) from a population of interest so that by studying the sample we may fairly generalize our results back to the population from which they were chosen. To draw a sample from the underlying population, a variety of sampling methods can be employed, individually or in combination. Cut-off sampling is a pr...

AIMS In coronary bifurcations assessment, evaluation of side-branch (SB) ostia by an optical coherence tomography (OCT) pullback performed in the main branch (MB) could speed up lesion evaluation and minimize contrast volume. Dedicated software that reconstructs the cross-sections perpendicular to the SB centreline could improve this assessment. We aimed to validate a new method for assessing t...

Explicit segmentation is the partitioning of data into homogeneous regions by specifying cut-points. W. D. Fisher (1958) gave an early example of explicit segmentation based on the minimisation of squared error. Fisher called this the grouping problem and came up with a polynomial time Dynamic Programming Algorithm (DPA). Oliver, Baxter and colleagues (1996,1997,1998) have applied the informati...

In this paper we consider a special class of communication channels called wireless erasure channels. In these channels, symbols sent over the channel are received errorless or erased and replace by the symbols e. These channels are very relevant for modelling communication networks from the viewpoint of higher layer where applications stand. In these networks the channel appear as erasure chan...

Hierarchical clustering is a popular method for finding structure in multivariate data, resulting in a binary tree constructed on the particular objects of the study, usually sampling units. The user faces the decision where to cut the binary tree in order to determine the number of clusters to interpret and there are various ad hoc rules for arriving at a decision. A simple permutation test is...

Performance accuracy of the Euclidean Distance Discriminant rule (EDDR) is studied in the high-dimensional asymptotic framework which allows the dimensionality to exceed sample size. Under mild assumptions on the traces of the covariance matrix, our new results provide the asymptotic distribution of the conditional misclassification error and the explicit expression for the consistent and asymp...

Metal matrix composites have been increasingly used as materials for components in automotive and aerospace industries because of their improved properties compared with non-reinforced alloys. During machining the selection of appropriate machining parameters to produce job for desired surface roughness is of great concern considering the economy of manufacturing process. In this study, a surfa...

We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanism include nodeor linkfailures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an over-estimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Kötter and Kschischang, we introduce a probabilistic model for errors. We compute the capacity of this channel and we define an error-correction scheme based o...

Self-aligned multiple patterning (SAMP), due to its low overlay error, has emerged as the leading option for 1D gridded back-end-of-line (BEOL) in sub-14nm nodes. To form actual routing patterns from a uniform “sea of wires”, a cut mask is needed for line-end cutting or realization of space between routing segments. Constraints on cut shapes and minimum cut spacing result in end-of-line (EOL) e...
