Coherence theory is used to analyze the statistical properties of ocean-acoustic intensity fluctuations measured after saturated multipath propagation. Previous analyses in this area have been implicitly limited to certain special cases for which the time-bandwidth product of the field received from a given source is unity. In this paper, the statistical description is extended and generalized ...

Log-level comparisons of the small deviation probabilities are studied in three different but related settings: Gaussian processes under the L 2 norm, multiple sums motivated by tensor product of Gaussian processes, and various integrated fractional Brownian motions under the sup-norm.

This paper provides an iterative algorithm to jointly approximately di-agonalize K Hermitian positive deenite matrices ? 1 , : : : , ? K. Speciically it calculates the matrix B which minimizes the criterion P K k=1 n k log det diag(BC k B) ? log det(BC k B)], n k being positive numbers, which is a measure of the deviation from diagonality of the matrices BC k B. The convergence of the algorithm...

BACKGROUND Automated sample preparation systems must meet the demands of routine diagnostics laboratories with regard to performance characteristics and compatibility with downstream assays. OBJECTIVES In this study, the performance of QIAGEN EZ1 DSP Virus Kit on the BioRobot EZ1 DSP was evaluated in combination with the Abbott RealTime HIV-1, HCV, and HBV assays, followed by thermalcycling a...

Over the last few years the number of web logs and amount of opinionated data on the World Wide Web has grown dramatically. Web logs allow people to share their opinions on a wide range of “hot” topics with virtual communities. As readers start turning to web logs as a source of information, automatic techniques that identify the sentiment of web log posts will help bloggers categorize and filt...

A new method is presented for the calculation of partition coefficients of solutes in octanol/water. Our algorithm, XLOGP, is based on the summation of atomic contributions and includes correction factors for some intramolecular interactions. Using this method, we calculate the log P of 1831 organic compounds and analyze the derived parameters by multivariate regression to generate the final mo...

We investigate the behavior, as ε → 0+, of ε log wε(t, x) where wε are solutions of a suitable family of subelliptic heat equations. Using the Large Deviation Principle, we show that the limiting behavior is described by the metric inf-convolution w.r.t. the associated CarnotCarathéodory distance. AMS classification numbers: 35K70; 49J24; 53C17; 60F10.

AIMS (1) To correlate atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) burden of pacemaker-recipient Brady-Tachy syndrome (BTS) patients with a number of diagnostics-derived parameters after 1 month of DDD pacing; (2) to asses whether the activation of atrial overdrive or conventional rate-responsive pacing may affect relevant variables and their correlation. METHODS AND RESULTS After 1 month of DDD pacing, rate-...
