A nonlinear generalization of the family of autoregressive signal models is introduced. This generalization can be viewed as an autoregressive model with state-varying parameters. For such signals, minimum mean-square error prediction can be reformulated as an interpolation problem. A novel interpretation of the signal as a codebook for its own prediction leads to an interpolation strategy rese...

We consider the problem of numerical inversion of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind via piecewise interpolation. One of the most important aspects of this technique is the choice of grid and collocation points. Theoretical results are developed which identify an optimal strategy for the distribution of collocation points for piecewise constant interpolation. The method, as outlined,...

One of the most recent developments in field graph theory is analysis networks such as Butterfly networks, Benes Interconnection and David-derived using theoretic parameters. The topological indices (TIs) have been widely used invariants among various tools. Quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) quantitative property (QSPR) need use TIs. Different structure-based parameters, degr...

Titanium disulfide TiS$_2$, which is a member of the layered transition-metal dichalcogenides with 1T-CdI$_2$-type crystal structure, known to exhibit wide variety magnetism through intercalating various kinds atoms different concentrations. Among them, Fe-intercalated titanium Fe$_x$TiS$_2$ be ferromagnetic strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and large coercive fields ($H_\text{c}$)...

BACKGROUND Cross-cultural communication in primary care is often difficult, leading to unsatisfactory, substandard care. Supportive evidence-based guidelines and training initiatives (G/TIs) exist to enhance cross cultural communication but their use in practice is sporadic. The objective of this paper is to elucidate how migrants and other stakeholders can adapt, introduce and evaluate such G/...

OBJECTIVES Guidelines and training initiatives (G/TIs) are available to support communication in cross-cultural consultations but are rarely implemented in routine practice in primary care. As part of the European Union RESTORE project, our objective was to explore whether the available G/TIs make sense to migrants and other key stakeholders and whether they could collectively choose G/TIs and ...

Long-wave infrared (8-12 μm) transmitting materials play critical roles in space science and electronic science. However, the paradox between their mechanical strength and infrared transmitting performance seriously prohibits their applications in harsh external environment. From the experimental view, searching a good window material compatible with both properties is a vast trail-and-error en...
