Advances in Gabor Analysis
Authors: Hans G. Feichtinger, Thomas Strohmer
Venue:  (2002)

:Gabor Analysis constitutes a central part of time-frequency analysis. While preserving the symmetry between the time (location) domain and the frequency (wave number) domain it avoids the high degree of redundancy inherent in the continuous short-time Fourier transform. The ability to resolve details of a signal ( or a system impulse response) in a two-dimensional representation, whose coefficients have a very natural interpretation, is the basis for many interesting applications in electrical engineering, or signal-and image processing in general, and thus makes Gabor Analysis an important branch of applied mathematics, whose full recognition lies ahead of us. The proposed book contributes positively to this devleopment.The aim of the book is to provide an overview of recent developments in the area of Gabor analysis by bringing together the leading scientists of various disciplines related to this subject. Covering theory, numerics, as well as applications of Gabor analysis, the book will not merely be a collection of articles but a nice blend of invited chapters with a consistent presentation. Each chapter contains the most recent research while providing enough background material to put the work into proper context. Graduate students, practitioners and other researchers in the areas of numerical analysis, electrical engineering and applied mathematics will find this book a current and useful resource.

Personal Computers for Distance Education: The Study of an Educational Innovation
Authors: Ann Jones, Gill Kirkup, Adrian Kirkwood
Venue:  (1993)

:This book is about the convergence of two important streams of educational innovation: distance education and the educational use of personal computers (PCs). During the 1970s and 1980s, distance education became a significant aspect of the post-school educational provision of many countries. This trend will continue into the 21st century as a solution to the problem of providing mass education for adult learners, many of whom have work and family responsibilities while they study. Distance education relies on a variety of media both to deliver teaching materials and to provide channels of communication with students, and the potential of the PC as a distance teaching medium is only beginning to be explored. The authors review the experiments with PCs in distance education which have taken place so far and discuss one in detail: the policy of student home computing at The Open University, UK. Over 17 000 Open University students use PCs in their own homes for aspects of their course work such as programming, computer-assisted learning, and electronic communication, as well as word processing and presentation. This is, at present, the largest application of student based PCs in any distance education system. The authors have been involved in an evaluation study of this policy and use their research to debate critical educational issues, such as the impact of PCs on student learning, equality of opportunity and access, and designing associated instruction material. They also consider the physical and social environment in which the students use their computers and the importance of providing support. This book will be of interest to teachers and other professionals involved in distance, and other types of adult education, and those interested in the implications of information technology in education.

A web based medical image data processing and management system
Authors: Jinman Kim, David D. Feng, Tom W. Cai
Venue: Selected papers from the Pan-Sydney workshop on Visualisation - Volume 2 (2000)

Medical services in current-time rely heavily on digital imaging technology due to image modalities utilized in medical field such as the computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. These techniques require image-processing tools and digital management that has been the primary reason for development of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). The limitation to PACS is that the system architecture limits itself to be only used in the local area network, which at times causes inconvenience towards physicians requiring the system in the outside environment.With the rapid advances in the network speed, computer processing capabilities, and the support for online software development, the potential to bridge the gap between the hospital and outside environment to share and work in conjunction may be realized.In this paper, we present an application of database and functional imaging that runs through the Internet network (WWW) and Internet browser that has similar ability to the PACS yet having the advantages of being an online system.
Markov Property and Ergodicity of the Nonlinear Filter
Authors: A. G. Bhatt, A. Budhiraja, R. L. Karandikar
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

In this paper we first prove, under quite general conditions, that the nonlinear filter and the pair (signal, filter) are Feller--Markov processes. The state space of the signal is allowed to be nonlocally compact and the observation function h can be unbounded. Our proofs, in contrast to those of Kunita [ J. Multivariate Anal., 1 (1971), pp. 365--393; Spatial Stochastic Processes, Birkhäuser, 1991, pp. 233--256] and Stettner [ Stochastic Differential Equations, Springer-Verlag, 1989, pp. 279--292], do not depend upon the uniqueness of the solutions to the filtering equations. We then obtain conditions for existence and uniqueness of invariant measures for the nonlinear filter and the pair process. These results extend those of Kunita and Stettner, which hold for locally compact state space and bounded h, to our general framework. Finally we show that the recent results of Ocone and Pardoux [ SIAM J. Control Optim., 34 (1996), pp. 226--243] on asymptotic stability of the nonlinear filter, which use the Kunita--Stettner setup, hold for the general situation considered in this paper.

Binomial coefficient recursion: the good, and the bad and ugly
Authors: Timothy Rolfe
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

The binomial coefficient or, alternatively, the number of combinations of n items taken k at a time, provides two defining recurrences. One of these provides a very useful recursive function a very good way for a program to calculate this function. The other provides a very wasteful recursive function the balancing bad and ugly way.
A Grassmann--Rayleigh Quotient Iteration for Computing Invariant Subspaces
Authors: P.-A. Absil, R. Mahony, R. Sepulchre, P. Van Dooren
Venue: SIAM Review (2002)

The classical Rayleigh quotient iteration (RQI) allows one to compute a one-dimensional invariant subspace of a symmetric matrix A. Here we propose a generalization of the RQI which computes a p-dimensional invariant subspace of A. Cubic convergence is preserved and the cost per iteration is low compared to other methods proposed in the literature.
Streaming BDD Manipulation
Authors: Shin-ichi Minato
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Computers (2002)

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are now commonly used for handling Boolean functions because of their excellent efficiency in terms of time and space. However, the conventional BDD manipulation algorithm is strongly based on the hash table technique, so it always encounters the memory overflow problem when handling large-scale BDD data. This paper proposes a new streaming BDD manipulation method that never causes memory overflow or swap out. This method allows us to handle very large-scale BDD stream data beyond the memory limitation. Our method can be characterized as follows: 1) it gives a continuous tradeoff curve between memory usage and stream data length, 2) valid solutions for a partial Boolean space can be obtained if we break the process before finishing, and 3) easily accelerated by pipelined multiprocessing. An experimental result demonstrates that we can succeed in finding a number of solutions to a SAT problem using commodity PC with a 64 MB memory, where as the conventional BDD manipulator would have required a 100GB memory. BDD manipulation has been considered as an intensively memory-consuming procedure, but now we can also utilize the hard disk and network resources as well. The method leads to a new approach to BDD manipulation.
Type checking in an imperfect world
Authors: Terrence C. Miller
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles of programming languages (1979)

We present an algorithn for the determination of run-time types which functions in the presence of errors, and show that it provides more information than that obtained using a previously published algorithm.In Section 1 we define the problem and state the requirements for a practically useful type prediction algorithm. In Section 2 we introduce a model programing language and in Section 3 define type inference rules for that language. Section 4 presents a type prediction algorithm and Section 5 describes how to apply the results to solve the problems stated in Section 1. Section 6 presents an example of our procedure and demonstrates how previous work does not satisfy all requirements.
