A Statistical Solution To A Text Decoding Challenge Problem, Xindi Cai, Rui Xu, Donald C. Wunsch, V. A. Samaranayake Jan 2001

A Statistical Solution To A Text Decoding Challenge Problem, Xindi Cai, Rui Xu, Donald C. Wunsch, V. A. Samaranayake

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Given an encoded unknown text message in the form of a three dimensional spatial series generated by the use of four smooth nonlinear functions, we use a method based on simple statistical reasoning to pick up samples for rebuilding the four functions. The estimated functions are then used to decode the sequence. The experimental results show that our method gives a nearly perfect decoding, enabling us to submit a 100% accurate solution to the IJCNN challenge problem


The Design And Analysis Of An Analog Ratio Spectrum Circuit, Liping Deng, John G. Harris Jan 2001

The Design And Analysis Of An Analog Ratio Spectrum Circuit, Liping Deng, John G. Harris

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The ratio spectrum (RS) is a novel method for signal analysis that has been successfully demonstrated for speech recognition and coding applications. In this paper, an improved RS circuit with an adaptive tenth-order Butterworth low-pass filter has been designed. We also present the first convergence analysis of the ratio spectrum. We derive linearized convergence expressions for the RS and compare the theoretical predictions to circuit simulations. © 2001 IEEE.

The Politics Of Judicial Reform In Japan: The Rule Of Law At Last?, Setsuo Miyazawa Jan 2001

The Politics Of Judicial Reform In Japan: The Rule Of Law At Last?, Setsuo Miyazawa

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the most recent changes in Japan's political environment that could radically alter its judicial system and legal profession in the near future. Reform of the judicial system and legal profession has now been placed on the national agenda, and the cast of players involved has spread from the traditional groups of legal professionals (judges, prosecutors, and attorneys) to the major actors of the larger political process, namely the Liberal Democratic Party (Jiya Minshu T6) ("LDP"), the ruling conservative party, and the Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren), one of the most influential organizations …

Applying The Method Of Moments And The Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Modeling Techniques To A Special Challenge Problem Of A Pc Board With Long Wires Attached, Yun Ji, Bruce Archambeault, Todd H. Hubing Jan 2001

Applying The Method Of Moments And The Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Modeling Techniques To A Special Challenge Problem Of A Pc Board With Long Wires Attached, Yun Ji, Bruce Archambeault, Todd H. Hubing

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper investigates a canonical printed circuit board (PCB) problem using both a method of moments (MoM) and a partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) modeling technique. The problem consists of a PCB populated with three traces. One trace is a signal line and the other two are I/O lines that couple to the signal line and extend beyond the boundary of the board. Although the MoM code was a frequency domain code and the PEEC code was a time-domain code, good agreement was achieved in both the time-domain and the frequency-domain

Federal Preemption Of Inconsistent State Safety Obligations, M. Stuart Madden Jan 2001

Federal Preemption Of Inconsistent State Safety Obligations, M. Stuart Madden

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The reach of Federal statutory preemption of inconsistent state law obligations has extended to numerous products liability subject matters, including most notably tobacco products, agricultural pesticides, medical devices and automobile air bags. The Supreme Court decision in Cipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc. countenanced a broad application of federal preemption when the subject statute contained an express preemption clause. Eight years later the Court appeared to back away from Cipollone, and held in Geier v. American Honda Motor Co. that even as to statutes with express preemption clauses, the simultaneous presence of a savings clause might trigger a narrow reading of …

Braking The Merger Momentum: Reforming Corporate Law Governing Mega-Mergers, James A. Fanto Jan 2001

Braking The Merger Momentum: Reforming Corporate Law Governing Mega-Mergers, James A. Fanto

Buffalo Law Review

This Article articulates a legal reform that is designed to rein in the number of value-decreasing stock-for-stock megamergers-the signature transaction of the 1990s and the beginning years of the new millennium-by causing board members to question more critically a mega-merger proposal when they are asked to approve it and even to continue to reevaluate their approval of a merger until its closing. The Article first describes the current merger wave and highlights reports of emerging problems in mega-mergers and the relevant economic data indicating that a majority of the transactions are value-decreasing for shareholders both in the short and long …

Defining Terrorism As The Peace Time Equivalent Of War Crimes: A Case Of Too Much Convergence Between International Humanitarian Law And International Criminal Law, Michael P. Scharf Jan 2001

Defining Terrorism As The Peace Time Equivalent Of War Crimes: A Case Of Too Much Convergence Between International Humanitarian Law And International Criminal Law, Michael P. Scharf

Faculty Publications

The problem of defining "terrorism" has vexed the international community for years. The United Nations General Assembly has repeatedly called for the convening of an international conference to define terrorism and distinguish it from legitimate acts in furtherance of national liberation struggles.' A decade ago, representing the United States, I gave a speech in the United Nations Sixth (Legal) Committee, in which I pointed out that general definitions of terrorism "are notoriously difficult to achieve and dangerous in what all but the most perfect of definitions excludes by chance." Today, we hear calls for a renewed effort to reach international …

Adult Macrofauna Effects On Capitella Sp. I Larval Settlement: A Laboratory Flume Study, Paul V. R. Snelgrove, Judith P. Grassle, Cheryl Ann Zimmer Jan 2001

Adult Macrofauna Effects On Capitella Sp. I Larval Settlement: A Laboratory Flume Study, Paul V. R. Snelgrove, Judith P. Grassle, Cheryl Ann Zimmer

Journal of Marine Research

The opportunistic, deposit-feeding polychaete Capitella sp. I is the overwhelming numerical dominant in disturbed and enriched sediments and rarely co-occurs in appreciable numbers with other abundant mud-dwelling macrofauna. Rapid colonization and population increase in organicrich sediments is typically followed by subsequent sharp decline. The mechanistic basis for these characteristics was explored in flume-flow experiments that tested whether settling Capitella sp. I larvae avoid sediments inhabited by macrofaunal adults or sediments reworked by them. The first set of experiments consisted of four treatments: conspecific adults or no adults in reworked or non-reworked sediment. Capitella sp. I settlement was significantly altered (depressed) …
