The difficulty of selecting the optimal time-frequency distribution (TFD) for a given real-life signal has been one of the major limiting factors to a wider use of time-frequency analysis tools in practice. This paper, by extending our earlier works on the objective assessment of the performance of TFDs, presents a novel automatic approach for selecting a real-life signal best-performing time-f...

periodontal ligament is a thin layer of soft tissue that connects root of a tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone. these ligaments play an important role in initiating tooth movement when loads are applied to teeth with orthodontic appliances. the majority of such soft tissues exhibit as viscoelastic bodies or have a time-dependent behavior. due to the viscoelastic behavior of the periodontal ...
