In this paper, we show that an NPR M -channel filter bank with a diagonal system inserted between the analysis and synthesis filter banks may be used to decompose an FIR system of order L into M complex subband components each of order L K , where K is the downsampling rate. This decomposition is at the expense of using complex arithmetic for the subband processing. The theory surrounding the p...

When the stochastic version of the salvo combat model was designed, several assumptions and approximations were made to keep its mathematical structure relatively sim...

Hybridity has become a master trope across many spheres of cultural research, theory, and criticism, and one of the most widely used and criticized concepts in postcolonial theory. This article begins with a thorough review of the interdisciplinary scholarship on hybridity. Then it revisits the trope of hybridity in the context of a series of articles on cultural globalization published in the ...

‘Agency in The God of Small Things?’ Surprise may well be readers’ first reaction to this thought as they recall the series of relentless tragic events that befall the chief characters of this novel. To commence this seemingly unjustified mission, I shall consider the kind and scale of agency one finds in Roy’s political writings. I adopt this procedure because Roy herself, in an interview with...

Coulomb energy calculations for the lowest 0+ , T = 2 state in A = 16 nuclei allow tight constraints on the masses of the lowest 1/2+ , T = 3/2 state in 15O and 15F, and of the 0+ , T = 2 state in 16F. Disciplines Physical Sciences and Mathematics | Physics Comments Suggested Citation: Fortune, H.T. (2006). Constraints on energies of 15F(g.s.), 15O(1/2+ , T = 3/2 ), and 16F(0+, T = 2). Physical...

Malaysian literature in English has just attained its sixtieth anniversary since its modest inception in the late 1940s, initiated by a small group of college and university students in Singapore. Singapore was the academic hub of British Malaya and the only university of the colony was located there, therefore it was natural that a movement in English writing should have started from there. No...

There is an ample number of recommendations, guides and monographs addressing the art of composing and publishing written, oral or visual communications in science and various professions. In order to write an article, autors have to follow certain rules. Presentation of the article (oral or poster presentation) also requires skill, meaning that you have to fulfill certain guidelines and regula...

Pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems is of great importance in surface micropatterning [Grzybowski et al., Soft Matter 1, 114 (2005)], self-organization of cellular micro-organisms [Schulz et al., Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 55, 105 (2001)], and in developmental biology [Barkai et al., FEBS Journal 276, 1196 (2009)]. In this work, we apply the lattice Boltzmann method to study pattern form...
