the strong ground motions recorded during the 2002 avaj earthquake have been used to estimates wave attenuation, qβ, and spectral decay parameter, κ, for the avaj region. qβ for shear wave is estimatedas a function of frequency in the range of 0.6- 18 hz. the results show that qβ increases with frequency in theform of qβ=62.7 f 0.9. our estimates are within the estimated range for different par...

Cross Coherence time frequency transform and independent component analysis (ICA) method were used to analyse the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in resting and action states during open and close eyes conditions. From the topographical scalp distributions of delta, theta, alpha, and beta power spectrum can clearly discriminate between the signal when the eyes were open or closed, but it was...

A review of novel method of numerical Fourier transform spectroscopy of non-stationary signals and its applications to the time-frequency waveforms analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG). The method uses the similar basis function (SBF) algorithm supported by classical methods of numerical estimation of trigonometric integrals based on the polynomial expansion of the function to be transfor...

We show that during visual working memory, the electroencephalographic (EEG) process producing 5-7 Hz frontal midline theta (fmtheta) activity exhibits multiple spectral modes involving at least three frequency bands and a wide range of amplitudes. The process accounting for the fmtheta increase during working memory was separated from 71-channel data by clustering on time/frequency transforms ...

Wavelet packet decompositions based on tree structured 2-channel filter banks with conjugate quadrature filters (CQF) have recently found many applications in the area of audio coding. Their time-frequency tiling is dual to that of timevarying modulated lapped transforms (MLT). In this paper we present a new orthonormal wavelet packet basis, which is constructed by frequency-varying MLT. These ...

contrary to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random character and behave stochastically. stochastic modeling methods are usually used for the modeling of high frequency ground motions where there are not strong ground motion records. stochastic methods are of two kinds: in the first one, the seismic source is considered as a ...
