OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess a new signal-processing strategy, Spatiotemporal Pattern Correction (SPC), for a group of listeners with varying degrees of sensorineural hearing loss. SPC is based on a physiological model of the level-dependent temporal response properties of auditory nerve (AN) fibers in normal and impaired ears. SPC attempts to "correct" AN response pattern...

This paper considers statistical process control (SPC) of univariate processes when the parametric form of the process distribution is unavailable. Most existing SPC procedures are based on the assumption that a parametric form (e.g., normal) of the process distribution can be specified beforehand. In the literature, it has been demonstrated that their performance is unreliable in cases when th...

We introduce a binary, relaxed gradient, trust-region method for optimizing pulse sequences single flux quanta control of quantum computer. The are optimized with the goal realizing unitary gate transformations. Each has fixed amplitude and duration. model this process as binary optimal problem, constrained by Schrödinger’s equation, where variables indicate whether each is on or off. first-ord...

Computational ghost imaging (CGI) and single-pixel camera (SPC) are two types of attracts increasing interest in recent years. The performance differences CGI SPC difference light disturbance environment investigated. In comparison with CGI, we demonstrate that the quality is always better same conditions local has a larger influence to CGI/SPC than global disturbance. addition, method improve ...

BACKGROUND The significance and optimal treatment of systemic-to-pulmonary arterial collateral (SPC) vessels in single ventricle patients are poorly understood. The acute efficacy of SPC embolization has not been demonstrated in a quantifiable fashion. We sought to assess the acute efficacy of SPC embolization on blood flow as quantified by phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging and hypothes...

Condition monitoring is the foundation of a condition based maintenance (CBM). To relate the information obtained from the condition monitoring to the actual state of the system, it is usually required a stochastic model. On the other hand, considering the interactions and similarities that exist between CBM and statistical process control (SPC), the integrated models for CBM and SPC have been ...

this paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems. in this regard, a single input active control approach is proposed for control and stabilization of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order systems. the robust controller is designed on the basis of fractional lyapunov stability theory. furthermore, the effects of model uncertainti...

The organization of ribosomal protein genes and the gene (fus) for a protein chain elongation factor, EF G, in Escherichia coli were studied with a merodiploid strain that has an episome with genetic markers, ery(r), spc(r), str(r), and fus(r), and a chromosome with markers ery(s), spc(s), str(s), and fus(s). The ery locus determines a 50S ribosomal protein and the spc and str loci determine 30...

This study examined the effect of purified soyabean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) on circulating plasma lipids and nutrient digestibility in juvenile common carp. The fish (100 (SD 15) g, 25 degrees C) were fed, for 4 weeks, a casein-based diet containing either 12 % soyabean oil (diet SBO) or 8 % SBO plus 4 % SPC (diet SPC). The lipid, protein and energy contents of the faeces were analysed for th...
