This paper presents some results on adaptive minimum mean-square error (MMSE) turbo equalization obtained from underwater experiments in the Atlantic ocean. The performance gain is evaluated as a function of the number of hydrophones at the receiver side. Single-carrier transmission with high-order modulations is considered, at a coded bit rate as high as 24 kb/s on the underwater acoustic chan...

A radio wave correlation experiment using a Mills Cross technique can be used to observe the cosmic noise intensity from the ground for the purpose of determining the absorption in the ionosphere. To ensure a time resolution of 10 to 20 s of the absorption observations, it is necessary that the autocorrelation function of the signal received within a wanted spatial resolution and in a given rec...

In "Assessing the Belief Bias Effect With ROCs: It's a Response Bias Effect," Dube, Rotello, and Heit (2010) examined the form of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for reasoning and the effects of belief bias on measurement indices that differ in whether they imply a curved or linear ROC function. We concluded that the ROC data are in fact curved and that analyses using statistics ...

Receiver function analysis is one of the most powerful methods for modeling the subsurface structure beneath a seismograph station. Based on the assumption that similar receiver functions should be observed at stations located close to each other, we can construct a spatial distribution of a seismic velocity interface, such as the Moho discontinuity, to trace the distribution of P-to-S (Ps) con...

1 Persuasion mechanisms In this paper we study a particular game where Sender chooses a signal π whose realization is observed by Receiver who then takes her action. In Subsection 2.3 we made an observation that Sender's gain from persuasion is weakly greater in this game than in any other communication game. In this section of the Online Appendix we provide a formal statement and proof of this...
