Time series of Circulation Weather Type (CWT), including daily averaged wind direction and vorticity, are self-classified by similarity using Kohonen Neural Networks (KNN). It is shown that KNN is able to map by similarity all 7300 five-day CWT sequences during the period of 1975-94, in London, United Kingdom. It gives, as a first result, the most probable wind sequences preceding each one of t...

Staphylococcus simulans bv. staphylolyticus secretes lysostaphin, a bacteriocin that cleaves pentaglycine cross bridges in the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus. The C-terminal cell wall-targeting domain (CWT) of lysostaphin is required for selective binding of this bacteriocin to S. aureus cells; however, the molecular target for this was unknown. We used purified green fluorescent protein fu...

Received (Day Month Year) Revised (Day Month Year) Communicated by (xxxxxxxxxx) We review the coherent state or group-theoretical construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere. Next we describe the construction of a CWT on the upper sheet of a two-sheeted hyperboloid, emphasizing the similarities between the two cases.. Finally we give some indications on the CWT on a...

A determinação simultânea de ácido ascórbico (AA), ácido acetilsalicílico (ASP) e paracetamol (PAR) em misturas sintéticas e tabletes efervescentes foi realizada usando-se as técnicas de transformações de Haar e transformações de onda pequena tipo chapéu mexicano (HAAR-CWT e MEXH-CWT, respectivamente), juntamente com a técnica de divisor duplo. Os métodos de processamento de sinal são baseados ...

OBJECTIVES To analyze the comparison between the treatment area of 15Gage internally cooled electrodes and 17 Gage Cool Wet-tip(CWT) electrodes. They are manufactured to broaden treatment area of the tumor in the radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). METHODS The study was designed for 62 patients with a mean age of 61, ranging from 44 to 87 years. The sample comprised of p...

Background and aims: Adenoma detection rate (ADR) and cecal withdrawal time (CWT) have been identified as measures of colonoscopy quality. This study evaluates the impact of monitoring these measures on provider performance. Methods: Six blinded gastroenterologists practicing at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center were prospectively monitored over 9 months. Data for screening, adenoma surveillanc...

This paper introduces a novel OFDM system base on dual – tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT). In the proposed scheme, DT-CWT is used in the place of FFT. The proposed scheme offers the best PAPR performance than the conventional OFDM and WPM systems at the expense of acceptable computational complexity without using any pruning techniques. The CCDF for the proposed scheme signal achieves ab...

We survey the construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere. Then we discuss the discretization of the spherical CWT, obtaining various types of discrete frames. Finally we give some indications on the construction of a CWT on other conic sections.

Tensor product real-valued wavelets have been employed in many applications such as image processing with impressive performance. Edge singularities are ubiquitous and play a fundamental role in image processing and many other two-dimensional problems. Tensor product real-valued wavelets are known to be only suboptimal since they can only capture edges well along the coordinate axis directions ...

This study deduces a general inversion of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) with timescale being real rather than positive. In conventional CWT inversion, wavelet’s dual is assumed to be a reconstruction wavelet or a localized function. This study finds that wavelet’s dual can be a harmonic which is not local. This finding leads to new CWT inversion formulas. It also justifies the concept of n...
