Distortion Mechanisms in Varactor Diode-Tuned Microwave Filters [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 2006 This paper examines the broadband distortion behavior in flexible filters employing varactor-diode tuning elements. Series- and parallel-resonant varactor-loaded transmission-lines, both commonly used in bandpass and bandstop microwave filters, are analyzed.

Segregation distortion and the evolution of sex-determining mechanisms [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 Segregation distorters are alleles that distort normal segregation in their own favour. Sex chromosomal distorters lead to biased sex ratios, and the presence of such distorters, therefore, may induce selection for a change in the mechanism of sex determination.

Constant-Factor Distortion Mechanisms for k-Committee Election [PDF]
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial IntelligenceIn the k-committee election problem, we wish to aggregate the preferences of n agents over a set of alternatives and select a committee of k alternatives that minimizes the cost incurred by the agents. While we typically assume that agent preferences are captured by a cardinal utility function, in many contexts we only have access to ordinal ...

Optimal Maximal Leakage-Distortion Tradeoff [PDF]
, 2021 Most methods for publishing data with privacy guarantees introduce randomness into datasets which reduces the utility of the published data. In this paper, we study the privacy-utility tradeoff by taking maximal leakage as the privacy measure and the ...

Revisiting the Distortion of Distributed Voting [PDF]
, 2023 We consider a setting with agents that have preferences over alternatives and are partitioned into disjoint districts. The goal is to choose one alternative as the winner using a mechanism which first decides a representative alternative for each ...

Glossiness Index of Objects in Halftone Color Images Based on Structure and Appearance Distortion
Journal of Imaging, 2022 This paper proposes an objective glossiness index for objects in halftone color images. In the proposed index, we consider the characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) and associate the image’s structure distortion and statistical information ...

Thin plate buckling mitigation and reduction challenges for naval ships [PDF]
, 2013 Thin plate buckling or distortion on ship structures is an ongoing issue for shipbuilders. It has been identified that a significant number of factors can be put in place based on prior knowledge and good practice.

Distortion-Controlled Reactivity and Molecular Dynamics of Dehydro-Diels–Alder Reactions [PDF]
, 2016 We report density functional theory (M06-2X) studies of a series of dehydro-Diels–Alder (DDA) reactions. For these and the parent reaction, the stepwise mechanisms have similar barriers, whereas the barriers of the concerted mechanisms differ ...

COMPARING NONLINEAR DISTORTION MECHANISMS IN LONGITUDINAL RECORDING [PDF]
, 1988 Physical mechanisms of nonlinear distortion in high density recording on longitudinal media are studied using a self consistent 2-D model. These mechanisms include transition shifts, pulse broadening, and amplitude reduction because of overwrite ...
