In this paper we develop an adaptive algorithm for decomposition and filtering of grayscales images. This method is highly adaptive decomposition image called Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (BEMD) based in blocks. This proposed approach decomposes image into a basis functions named Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) and residue. This method offers a good result in visual quality but it c...

The stability problem of impulsive discrete systems with multiple delays is studied. By means of the Lyapunov stability theory and discrete-time Halanay-type inequality technique, we develop sufficient conditions for the exponential stability for the impulsive discrete systems with multiple delays, which involves multiple delays not only at non-impulsive time instants but also at impulsive time...

Abstract One of the earliest indicators importance shock acceleration solar energetic particles (SEPs) was broad spatial extent “gradual” SEP events produced as waves, driven by wide, fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs), expand across Sun with cross-field transport mediated shocks. Contrasting “impulsive” events, characteristic enhancements 3 He and heavy elements, are now associated magnetic re...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between dysfunctional schema modes, childhood trauma and dissociation in borderline personality disorder (BPD). METHOD 30 BPD patients completed the Wessex Dissociation Scale (WDS), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and Schema Mode Questionnaire (SMQ). RESULTS The 'Angry and Impulsive Child' and 'Abandoned and Abu...

The large-scale coronal shock waves observed from radio type II bursts and from Moreton waves have proven surprisingly difficult to detect in coronal images. I review the evidence for such waves in radio, optical, EUV, and soft X-ray images. The data generally support the conclusion that the metric type II bursts can be identified with weak fast-mode shock waves launched at the impulsive phase ...

Individual differences in impulsive and risky choice are key risk factors for a variety of maladaptive behaviors such as drug abuse, gambling, and obesity. In our rat model, ordered individual differences are stable across choice parameters, months of testing, and span a broad spectrum, suggesting that rats, like humans, exhibit trait-level impulsive and risky choice behaviors. In addition, imp...

This paper presents an impulse-based model for n-body collisions with or without friction. In the frictionless case, impulses at all the contacts, initialized from solution of a non-linear system, accumulate over different phases (compression and restitution) tracked through numerical integration. Validation over Newton’s cradle is conducted using vision-based velocity estimation with high accu...

We have performed depolarized impulsive stimulated scattering experiments to observe shear acoustic phonons in supercooled triphenylphosphite (TPP) from ~10-500 MHz. These measurements, in tandem with previously performed longitudinal and shear measurements, permit further analyses of the relaxation dynamics of TPP within the framework of the mode coupling theory. Our results provide evidence o...

Excited-state vibrational coherence of solution-phase polyatomic molecules was studied by two different timedomain spectroscopic methods. Raman-active low-frequency vibrations in the excited state of trans-stilbene were observed by transient impulsive stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy. In transient absorption spectroscopy with a 40-fs resolution, a different vibrational mode of the same ...

With the emergence of new technologies, in particular the Internet, the opportunity for impulsive purchases have expanded enormously. In this research-in-progress, we report the current status of an fMRI-project in which we investigated differences between neural processes in the brains of impulsive and non-impulsive shoppers during the trustworthiness evaluation of online offers. Both our beha...
