To designing higher-speed digital mobile communication systems, we must predict the multi-path propagation characteristics more accurately. Available path number and delay spread are effective indicators that make it easy to evaluate multi-path propagation. In this paper, we propose a novel delay profile model that can predict the available path number and the delay spread accurately due to its...

This study purports to develop and empirically examine a model for explaining technology acceptance decisions by individual law enforcement officers. Specifically, we describe the research model and hypotheses, detail our study design, and highlight important results from a pretest study that included 42 detectives and police officers from the Tucson Police Department (TPD). Based on the pretes...

Music Information Research requires access to real musical content in order to test efficiency and effectiveness of its methods as well as to compare developed methodologies on common data. Existing datasets do not address the research direction of musical track popularity that has recently received considerate attention. Existing sources of musical popularity do not provide easily manageable d...

We have created new networks to unmix signals which have been mixed either with time delays or via filtering. We first show that a subset of the Herault-Jutten learning rules fulfills a principle of minimum output power. We then apply this principle to extensions of the Herault-Jutten network which have delays in the feedback path. Our networks perform well on real speech and music signals that...

Venus Express is a deep space mission with the following characteristics: • A considerable signal propagation delay on the

In this paper, the progress of a three-year cooperative project investigating the current state of TPD (teacher professional development) in Sweden and China in the area of TPD and ICT (information and communication technologies) is summarized. A brief introduction to the field of TPD is given, and thereafter, ICT is related to what in the project is referred to as TETPD (Technology Enhanced Te...

Gravitational physics of VLBI experiment conducted on September 8, 2002 and dedicated to measure the speed of gravity is treated in the first post-Newtonian approximation. Explicit speed-of-gravity parameterization is introduced to the Einstein equations to single out the retardation effect associated with the finite speed of gravity in the relativistic time delay of light propagating in the gr...

Where f denotes Doppler Frequency, τ denotes multipath propagation delay, S (f,τ) denotes the scattering function. In a Power Delay Profile plot, the signal power of each multipath is plotted against their respective propagation delays. A sample power delay profile plot, shown below, indicates how a transmitted pulse gets received at the receiver with different signal strength as it travels thr...
