An iterative time-variant filtering based on the discrete Gabor transform (DGT) has been recently proposed by the authors. In this correspondence, we present a proof of the convergence of the iterative algorithm under a sufficient condition on the analysis and synthesis window functions of the DGT. In the meantime, we show that the iterative algorithm refines the least squares solution.

We explore the role that choice of comparison groups plays in explaining impasse in teacher contract negotiations. We hypothesize that the negotiators select "comparable" districts in a biased fashion such that teachers' salaries in districts that unions view as comparable are higher than teachers' salaries in districts that school boards view as comparable. We also predict that strike activity...

The aim of this study was to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with different mesh size for silver crucian carp in Eğirdir Lake. In this study, it was investigated that the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with nominal mesh size (stretched) with 32, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 mm and trammel nets with 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 mm for catching of silver crucian carp. Fieldwork...
