Radar imaging of noncooperative targets is an interesting application of all-weather high-resolution coherent radars. However, these images are usually blurred when using the standard range-Doppler algorithm, if a long coherent processing interval (CPI) is used, and motion compensation techniques are hence necessary to improve imaging quality. If the CPI is reduced enough, target scatterers do ...

We present a unified framework for the study of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems subject to control input nonlinearities. The framework is based on the following two-step design paradigm: UDesign the linear controller ignoring control input nonlinearities and then add anti-windup bumpless transfer (AWBT) compensation to minimize the adverse eflects of any control input nonlinearities on clos...

A standard way of improving the robustness of speech recognition systems to noise is model compensation. is replaces a speech recogniser’s distributions over clean speech by ones over noise-corrupted speech. For each clean speech component,model compensation techniques usually approximate the corrupted speech distribution with a diagonal-covariance Gaussian distribution. is thesis looks into im...

When automating work, it is often desirable to compensate completed work by undoing the work done by one or more activities. In the context of workflow, where compensation actions are defined on nested ’scopes’ that group activities, this requires a model of nested compensation–based transactions. The model must enable the automatic determination of compensation order by considering not only th...

Programmes that provide no-fault compensation for an adverse event following vaccination have been implemented in 19 countries worldwide, the first in Germany in 1961 and the most recent in Hungary in 2005. We performed a review of these programmes and determined elements that were common to all of them: administration and funding, eligibility, process and decision-making, standard of proof, el...

Advance Video Coding standard (AVS) [1] is the standard for compression and decompression in digital audio and video multimedia. The AVS Working Group was approved by the Science and Technology Department of Ministry of Information Industry of china on June 2002. AVS has employed a 4-tap interpolation FIR filter in its motion compensation (MC) part for high coding efficiency. But it is accompan...

INTRODUCTION The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) has published a Preservation and Incorporation of Valuable Endoscopic Innovations (PIVI) statement on incorporating an imaging-guided surveillance protocol to replace the current practice of four-quadrant biopsies every two centimeters for Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance. We sought to determine if current gastroentero...

this paper studies effective organizational factors in creating cynicism. at first, we studied the literature of organizational cynicism, dimensions and components of cynicism at different approaches. then among them six component include: perception of organizational support, perception of executives’ compensation, perception of organizational performance, perception of distributive justice an...
