Background. Isolated lung perfusion (ILP) with free and a novel liposomal-encapsulated doxorubicin (Liporubicin, CT Sciences SA, Lausanne, Switzerland) was compared with respect to drug uptake and distribution in rat lungs bearing a sarcomatous tumor. ...
Estimation based on received signal strength (RSS) is crucial in sensor networks for sensor localization, target tracking, etc. In this paper, we present a Gaussian approximation of the Chi distribution that is applicable to general RSS source localization ...
This paper provides an efficient method for analyzing the error probability of the belief propagation (BP) decoder applied to LT Codes. Each output symbol is generated independently by sampling from a distribution and adding the input symbols corresponding ...
We present experimental results on the velocity statistics of a granular fluid with an effective stochastic thermostat, in a quasi-two-dimensional configuration. We find the base state, as measured by the single particle velocity distribution P(c) in the c ...
In this paper, we will investigate the performance of Raptor codes on arbitrary binary input memoryless symmetric channels (BIMSCs). In doing so, we generalize some of the results that were proved before for the erasure channel. We will generalize the stab ...
We address the problem of recognizing the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants from their head pose and contextual cues. The main contribution of the paper is the use of a head pose posterior distribution as a representation of the head ...
The exploration-exploitation trade-off that arises when one considers simple point estimates of expected returns no longer appears when full distributions are considered. This work develops a simple gradient-based approach for mainting such distributions a ...
The configuration space network (CSN) of a dynamical system is an effective approach to represent the ensemble of configurations sampled during a simulation and their dynamic connectivity. To elucidate the connection between the CSN topology and the underl ...
This short note shows that the Lundberg's exponential upperbound in the ruin problem of non-life insurance with compound Poisson claims is also valid for the Poisson shot noise delayed claims model, and that the optimal exponent depends only on the distrib ...
A capacity-achieving sequence of degree distributions for the erasure channel is, roughly speaking, a sequence of degree distributions such that graphs sampled uniformly at random satisfying those degree constraints lead to codes that perform arbitrarily c ...
