Wavelet transform has many good characteristics, used extensively in image fusion. In recent years, many algorithms have been developed, but there exist some inherent defects such as image blur, burr phenomenon, zigzag boundaries and image discontinuity. In this theory, without considering disadvantages of HVS, especially fused image should preserve brightness and texture features which are the...

The goal of this Matlab exercise is to design an A-weighted sound level meter. Although previous years have utilized multirate filtering to reduce the computational overhead, this write-up will focus on a more direct implementation using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Using the Data Acquisition Toolbox in Matlab, I have implemented a basic A-weighted sound level meter. This implementation al...

The electricity market in the UK is undergoing dramatic changes and requires a transformation of existing practices to meet the current and forthcoming challenges. One aspect of the solution is the deployment of demand side management (DSM) programmes to influence domestic behaviour patterns for the benefit of the overall network. Effective deployment of DSM requires segmentation of the populat...

The ability to perceive a regular beat in music and synchronize to this beat is a widespread human skill. Fundamental to musical behaviour, beat and meter refer to the perception of periodicities while listening to musical rhythms and often involve spontaneous entrainment to move on these periodicities. Here, we present a novel experimental approach inspired by the frequency-tagging approach to...

We present a 10-meter bidirectional fiber-wireless-fiber system at 81/86-GHz (Wband). The fiber transmission amounts for 36-km, whereas the wireless transmission for 10-m, achieving BER performance below the 7% FEC limit for both downstream and upstream. OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optical Communications; (060.5625) Radio frequency photonics; (250.0250) Optoelectronics.

BACKGROUND Glucose meter analytical performance criteria required for safe and effective management of patients on tight glycemic control (TGC) are not currently defined. We used simulation modeling to relate glucose meter performance characteristics to insulin dosing errors during TGC. METHODS We used 29,920 glucose values from patients on TGC at 1 institution to represent the expected distr...

⎯ This paper presents a model-based Register Transfer Level (RTL) design of a 4x2 Multiple-Inputs Multiple-Outputs (MIMO)-Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication systems transmitter and its Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation. This system provides a maximum of 600 Mbps with 20 meter of propagation distance using 80 MHz baseband bandwidth with 4x2 M...

Although parasequence and sequence are scale-independent terms, they are frequently applied only to specific scales of cycles. For example, meter-scale cycles are commonly assumed to be parasequences or PACs. In the Upper Ordovician Kope and Fairview Formations of northern Kentucky, we examined a succession of 50 meter-scale cycles that have been variously interpreted as deepening-upward, shall...
