The expicit restricted isometry property (RIP) measurement matrices are needed in practical application of compressed sensing in signal processing. RIP matrices from Reed-Solomon codes, BCH codes, orthogonal codes, expander graphs have been proposed and analysised. On the other hand binary constant weight codes have been studied for many years and many optimal or near-optimal small weight and d...

Exercise 3.2d: Calculate weights on hydraulic-head and flow observations For the head observations, first calculate the total variance of measurement error for the head observations, by adding the variance for the elevation measurement and the variance for the water-level measurement. This total variance is 1.0025 m, as shown in Table 3.2. Then, calculate the weight as the inverse of this varia...

OBJECTIVES The present study investigates the association between depression, anxiety and binge eating at baseline with weight-change after an approximately 1-year period in a clinical sample of obese adult males with cardiovascular disease. METHODS At the time of the first measurement, the sample consisted of 69 overweight and obese men (age range between 36 and 74); 34 patients attended a f...

Modern sockets for lower limb amputees utilize total contact and distribute some weight on the stump end. Its tolerance to bear weight varies but is better after joint disarticulation, however, systematic measures have been missing. Different levels, indications, shapes etc. were analysed with 102 measurements in 69 patients. The maximal-end-weight-bearing of the stump measured on a scale was m...

Stereotypic attributions about “overweight people” (called weight stigma or bias) and “slender people” were elicited through semantic differential procedures and compared with self-attributions on the same bipolar personality trait scales. More negative personality traits were attributed to overweight people than to slender people and self-descriptions. Overweight subjects attributed negative t...
