Performance of robust symbol‐timing and carrier‐frequency estimation for OFDM systems
Authors: Yen Nan‐Yang
Published: November 2008

In recent years, many maximum likelihood (ML) blind estimators have been proposed to estimate timing and frequency offsets for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. However, the previously proposed ML blind estimators utilizing cyclic prefix do not fully characterize the random observation vector over the entire range of the timing offset and will significantly degrade the estimation performance. In this paper, we present a global ML blind estimator to compensate the estimation error. Moreover, we extend the global ML blind estimator by accumulating the ML function of the estimation parameters to achieve a better accuracy without increasing the hardware or computational complexity. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the estimation performance in both additional white Gaussian noise and ITU‐R M.1225 multipath channels.

International output convergence: evidence from an autocorrelation function approach
Authors: Caggiano Giovanni , Leonida Leone
Published: November 2008

This paper uses an autocorrelation function (ACF) approach to develop a new testing procedure for international output convergence. We define convergence in terms of sample ACFs of detrended output per capita, and construct an inference set‐up based on resampling and subsampling techniques for dependent data. Using per capita GDP for 15 OECD countries observed over a century, we find that the hypothesis of conditional convergence is unsupported; that, the USA apart, the linearized neoclassical growth model fails to replicate the transitional dynamics of OECD economies; and that these economies do not behave like a club.

A combinatorial study of full Heusler alloys by first‐principles computational methods
Authors: Gilleßen Michael , Dronskowski Richard
Published: November 2008

A combinatorial scan of a total of 810 full Heusler alloys is performed on the basis of first‐principles (GGA) total‐energy calculations using pseudopotentials and plane waves to predict their lattice parameters and magnetic moments. About 60% of the investigated intermetallics turn out as being thermochemically stable with respect to the constituting elements. The presentation of the calculated magnetic moments in a periodic system of full Heusler phases is accomplished and yields periodic trends for the physical properties as a function of their compositions and as a function of the valence‐electron concentration within a modified Slater‐Pauling scheme. In addition, hot synthetic spots with respect to magnetically interesting stable and also presumably metastable phases are identified to propose new and economically lucrative synthetic targets, and a series of new rhodium‐containing phases is analyzed in depth with respect to their electronic structures. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Applicability of DATEM for Chinese steamed bread made from flours of different gluten qualities
Authors: Ying Bi , Jun Li , Yunzi Feng , Zhuo Chen , Zaigui Li
Published: November 2008

BACKGROUD: The diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM) is an anionic oil‐in‐water emulsifier. The effects of DATEM on bread vary with the type of flour. However, there is insufficient information concerning the effects of DATEM on the qualities of Chinese steamed bread (CSB) even though it is also sold as a CSB improver.

RESULTS: The effects of DATEM on CSB varied with flours. The overall qualities of CSB made from either weak or strong wheat flours were improved by the use of the additive, but the effects for medium strong flours were slight and uncertain. The effects of DATEM on individual parameters, such as specific volume, skin and inner structure, were similar to those on overall quality. The addition of DATEM increased the gluten strength and the dough stability of weak flour, whereas it weakened gluten strength and strengthened dough stability of strong flour. The addition of DATEM weakened the gluten strength and gave variable effects on dough stabilities for two medium strong flours.

CONCLUSION: The effects of DATEM on CSB quality varied with flour type, by affecting flour characteristics, such as gluten strength, dough stability and lipid content. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry
An empirical hierarchical Bayesian unification of occupational exposure assessment methods
Authors: Sottas Pierre‐Edouard , Lavoué Jérome , Bruzzi Raffaella , Vernez David , Charrière Nicole , Droz Pierre‐Olivier
Published: November 2008

In occupational exposure assessment of airborne contaminants, exposure levels can either be estimated through repeated measurements of the pollutant concentration in air, expert judgment or through exposure models that use information on the conditions of exposure as input. In this report, we propose an empirical hierarchical Bayesian model to unify these approaches. Prior to any measurement, the hygienist conducts an assessment to generate prior distributions of exposure determinants. Monte‐Carlo samples from these distributions feed two level‐2 models: a physical, two‐compartment model, and a non‐parametric, neural network model trained with existing exposure data. The outputs of these two models are weighted according to the expert's assessment of their relevance to yield predictive distributions of the long‐term geometric mean and geometric standard deviation of the worker's exposure profile (level‐1 model). Bayesian inferences are then drawn iteratively from subsequent measurements of worker exposure. Any traditional decision strategy based on a comparison with occupational exposure limits (e.g. mean exposure, exceedance strategies) can then be applied. Data on 82 workers exposed to 18 contaminants in 14 companies were used to validate the model with cross‐validation techniques. A user‐friendly program running the model is available upon request.

Combining unrelated family studies to improve the power of genetic association test
Authors: Cheng K. F.
Published: November 2008

Family‐based studies provide powerful inferences regarding associations between genetic variants and risks, but have limitations. Since very often, the availability of the parental genotypes can pose a problem for using family‐based design, especially when the disease of interest has a late age of onset. To improve the efficiency of the studies, a popular approach is to reconstruct the missing genotypes from the genotypes of their offspring and correct the biases resulting from the reconstruction. In this paper, the author shows that two or more unrelated family studies, for the same candidate marker but different diseases, can also be combined to construct a more efficient test for association analysis. The usual case–control study with parental genotypes is a special case of the data discussed here. The author used a simulation study to compare the performance of the new method with other well‐known methods. The results showed that the new test has an advantage of having larger power when there is no effect of population stratification between two study samples. However, if there is effect of population stratification between the two samples, the new test still maintains the expected type I error rate and has comparable power performance. Since the unrelated family studies not for the disease of interest are often readily accessible with minimal cost, the proposed method has practical value. The new approach can also be easily modified to allow for missing parental data. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Punktuelles Kleben mit Silikonen
Authors: Hagl Anneliese
Published: November 2008

Neben den bisher theoretisch bis ins Detail untersuchten Verklebungen mit linienförmiger Ausdehnung – so etwa im Anwendungsfall von Glasfassaden der U‐förmigen Verklebung, welche bei der Herz‐Jesu‐Kirche gewählt wurde – sind auch punktuelle Verklebungen von Interesse für die Praxis. Unter “punktuell” sind hierbei nicht nur geklebte Punkthalter, sondern auch U‐, T‐ oder bandförmige kurze Verklebungen zu verstehen, die als diskrete Lasteinleitungspunkte an Glaskanten oder Glasflächen auf‐ oder eingeklebt werden. All diesen Verklebungen ist eigen, dass sie durch die freien Ränder eine wesentliche Einschnürung der Verklebung zulassen, was deren Tragfähigkeit und ‐verhalten maßgebend mitbestimmt.

Auf der Basis von experimentellen Ergebnissen des Forschungsvorhabens “Geklebte Verbindungen im Glasbau” der Fachhochschule München sollen als weiterführende theoretische Untersuchung in diesem Beitrag die Wirkungsweise und die Bemessungsmöglichkeiten punktueller Verklebungsgeometrien aufgezeigt werden.
Prediction of pre‐eclampsia by a combination of maternal history, uterine artery Doppler and mean arterial pressure
Authors: Onwudiwe N. , Yu C. K. H. , Poon L. C. Y. , Spiliopoulos I. , Nicolaides K. H.
Published: November 2008

Objectives

To determine the value of combined screening for pre‐eclampsia by maternal history, and mid‐trimester uterine artery (UtA) Doppler imaging and maternal blood pressure.

Methods

In 3529 singleton pregnancies attending for routine care at 22–24 weeks' gestation we recorded maternal variables, and made UtA Doppler and mean arterial pressure (MAP) measurements. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the significant predictors of pre‐eclampsia, gestational hypertension and small‐for‐gestational age (SGA) among maternal characteristics, UtA pulsatility index (PI) and MAP.

Results

Complete pregnancy outcomes were available in 3359/3529 (95.2%) cases. Pre‐eclampsia developed in 101 (3.0%) pregnancies, including 23 (0.7%) in which delivery was before 34 weeks (early pre‐eclampsia) and 78 (2.3%) with delivery at 34 weeks or more (late pre‐eclampsia); 74 (2.2%) developed gestational hypertension, 366 (10.9%) delivered SGA newborns with no hypertensive disorders, and 2806 (83.8%) were unaffected by pre‐eclampsia, gestational hypertension or SGA. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that maternal characteristics, UtA‐PI and MAP provided a significant independent contribution in the prediction of pre‐eclampsia, gestational hypertension and SGA. For a false‐positive rate of 10%, the estimated detection rates of early and late pre‐eclampsia were 100% and 56.4%, respectively.

Conclusions

The combination of maternal demographic characteristics, and UtA Doppler and maternal blood pressure measurements is an effective screening tool for the prediction of pre‐eclampsia. Copyright © 2008 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Dujiangyan irrigation system: A case of East Asia local knowledge with universal significance
Authors: Bangben PENG
Published: November 2008

Dujiangyan irrigation system of more than 2000 years history is a symbol of originality of Chinese ancestors both in its conception and project mode. It is still working well and benefit Chengdu Plain nowadays while other comparable water conservancy projects of the same or later age have vanished and been forgotten. More than just a world-famous cultural heritage, it shows the harmonious relationship between man and nature. And it also reveals us how to solve problems in the era of economic globalization, such as the constantly silt up of the dams, the exhaustion of the energy and the crisis of the deterioration of ecosystem. The inspirations it gives us range from technology to humanities, from economy to various aspects in social life. In a word, Dujiangyan irrigation system demonstrates the wisdom and creativity of Chinese people and has a universal significance despite the change of time and space.
History, Complexity, and Politics: Further Thoughts
Authors: Cowie Jefferson , Salvatore Nick
Published: November 2008

We would like to thank our commentators for their vigorous responses to our essay. Those comments were varied and, at times, at odds with each other but contained a remarkable agreement around our core premise: that the New Deal order was based on an exceptional and unstable set of political circumstances. Beyond that basic consensus, however, a number of important points of contention deserve discussion.
Distribution and abundance of nearctic–neotropical songbird migrants in a forest restoration site in southern Costa Rica
Authors: Reid J. Leighton , Harris J. Berton C. , Martin Laura J. , Barnett Jacob R. , Zahawi Rakan A.
Published: November 2008

Many ecological relationships that are inherently reciprocal are often studied from one perspective only (Agrawal et al. 2007). One example is the interaction between tropical forests and nearctic-neotropical migratory songbirds (hereafter migrants). Several studies have determined that some migrant populations are limited by conditions at their tropical wintering grounds in Central America, South America and the Caribbean (Marra et al. 1998, Mills 2006); however, the ecological role of migrants in these tropical forests is poorly understood.
Utilizing Redundancy Features in TEFL
Authors: Olshtain Elite
Published: November 2008

The present paper touches slightly on theoretical issues concerned with the notion of linguistic redundancy but has primarily a very practical scope, i.e. the facilitation of the foreign language learning process. Specifically, this paper suggests the utilization of redundancy features in aiding learners to develop their recognition knowledge in the new language. As such, the paper is concerned with course objectives and the learner's linguistic needs.
Communicative Ability and Syllabus Design for Global Foreign Language Courses
Authors: Valdman Albert
Published: November 2008

As Kelly (1969) reminds us, the development or an art – and foreign language (FL) teaching is assuredly an art rather than a science – is cyclical. Viewed from a short-term perspective, say, the last two decades, FL teaching doctrine appears to have taken a dialectical course: the audiolingual method may be viewed as an antithetical reaction to grammar-translation-reading (GTR). In turn, the so-called cognitive-code approach of the late 1960s constitutes a rejection of overemphasis on outward form and of the behavioral model of learning. Finally, stress on communicative competence developed from a broadening of the narrow focus on linguistic structure shared by both structural linguists and generative-transformational grammarians.
Attrition in the Productive Lexicon of Two Portuguese Third Language Speakers
Authors: Cohen Andrew D.
Published: November 2008

This study investigates loss of productive vocabulary in oral language, specifically in Portuguese as a third language for two English-Hebrew bilingual children, ages 9 and 13. The study investigated the lexical loss in Portuguese storytelling behavior after 1, 3, and 9 months of discontinued contact with the language. The analysis focused on the nature of the attrited productive lexicon, lexical production strategies used to compensate for forgotten vocabulary, and lexical retrieval processes during storytelling in Portuguese and in the children's two dominant languages.

A significant decrease was found in the total number of words produced in the Portuguese stories of the two children after 9 months, both in comparison to word total in earlier months and in comparison to total words in English and Hebrew stories. There was greater attrition in the case of the younger subject after 9 months than in that of his older sister. He used a more limited number of different words, as well as fewer and shorter T-units per utterance, which was not the case with regard to his sister. He also attrited proportionately more nouns than words from other word classes.

The subjects used at least six lexical production strategies in order to compensate for forgotten words—two of them L1-based (borrowing and foreignizing), and four of them intralingual (the use of a general word, approximation, circumlocution, and word abandonment). Their data also provided evidence of lexical retrieval processes. Examples of lexical production strategies and lexical retrieval processes are given.
The Long-Term Retention of French by Dutch Students
Authors: Weltens Bert , Van Els Theo J. M. , Schils Erik
Published: November 2008

The present study investigated the retention of school-learned French language skills in Dutch students across a period of 4 years following the training period. Two training levels were investigated: 4 and 6 years of French training. The skills tested were all receptive: general receptive proficiency; listening and reading comprehension; and receptive phonological, lexical, and grammatical skills. In addition, self-assessment measures were administered.

The results indicated that global skills improved, if anything, and that only lexical and, particularly, grammatical skills “attrited” during the period investigated. On the other hand, subjects' self-perception of their retention was much more negative.
Intonation and Language Learning: The Necessity for an Integrative Approach
Authors: Gutknecht Christoph
Published: November 2008

1. The discrepancy between the goals and reality of applied linguistics as an integrative discipline can be recognized most clearly in the field of intonation, prosody, and para- and extra-linguistic phenomena, since the area covered by these phenomena intrudes into many disciplines (e.g., medicine, psychology, physics, musicology, phonetics, linguistics and pedagogy). It is generally agreed that these phenomena have to be regarded in their manifold interrelations. On the other hand there seems to be very little agreement among authors in their attempts to delimit and define these phenomena. The result is simply complete terminological confusion.
Transfer and Non-Transfer: Where We Are Now
Authors: Kellerman Eric
Published: November 2008

Current research into second-language learning has tended to ignore (or at best to treat incidentally) a linguistic phenomenon that once used to be a particular preoccupation of applied linguists, the interference error. Instead, the limelight is now firmly focussed on developmental phenomena, with many studies using an approach to data gathering and analytical methodology strongly reminiscent of research into child language acquisition and language contact. There have been specific attempts to establish developmental sequences in the TL, in morpheme acquisition, for instance, so as to compare first and second language learning, and not a little attention is now being paid to such sociolinguistic notions as variability, continua and simplification. In other words, the main emphasis in interlanguage research has shifted from a rather static error-oriented view of language learning to a dynamic view of learners' language as a constantly evolving system. The calls for longitudinal studies of interlanguage of the late sixties and early seventies have not gone unheeded, eve if the word ‘longitudinal’ is sometimes rather liberally interpreted, as in those cases where a tacit (and probably justifiable) assumption is made that studying groups of learners of varying proficiency in respect of given TL features at one and the same time is really the same as following the progress of one group over a long period.
On determining developmental stages in natural second language acquisition
Authors: Meisel Jürgen M. , Clahsen Harald , Pienemann Manfred
Published: November 2008

Research on Second Language (L2) Acquisition, over the past ten years, has undergone substantial changes by shifting its focus of interest away from an analysis of linguistic structures alone, concentrating more on the learner himself or, rather, on the process of learning. It had become obvious that one of the major shortcomings in contrastive studies as well as in the usual kind of error analysis is that they lack thorough investigation of factors which determine the kind of approach a learner may take to acquire a second language. This again implies that it is more fruitful to study the process of learning itself instead of merely analysing its outputs. It is by now widely accepted that the learner takes an active part in the learning process and does not merely get trapped in structural gaps which linguists may find when comparing the source language (the learner's L1) and the target language (L2).
