A perspective on the fundamental quality of GPS radio occultation data [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 Radio occultation (RO) is a promising source of observation for weather and climate applications. However, the uncertainties arising from imperfect retrieval algorithms may weaken the overall confidence in the data and discourage their use.

Impact of Imperfect Parameter Estimation on the Performance of Multi-User ARGOS Receivers [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper, we analyze the performance of Successive Interference Cancelation (SIC) receivers in the context of the ARGOS satellite system. Multi-user SIC receivers are studied in presence of imperfect estimates of signal parameters.

Cultural imagery and statistical models of the force of mortality: Addison, Gompertz and Pearson [PDF]
, 2010 We describe selected artistic and statistical depictions of the force of mortality (hazard or mortality rate), which is a concept that has long preoccupied actuaries, demographers and statisticians.

Semantic and pragmatic values of the Italian imperfetto: Towards a common interpretive procedure
Catalan Journal of Linguistics, 2015 This paper proposes an account of the semantics and pragmatics of the Italian indicative imperfect. This tense is described as deriving all of its uses from an extremely reduced core of semantic features as the point of departure to a series of ...

Sensors, 2019 In signal array processing, high-resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms work well on the assumption that the system models are perfect. However, in practicality, there are imperfect system models in which sensor gain-and-phase errors

Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation (TTCM) with Imperfect Phase Reference
Electrica, 2019 In this paper, we investigate the performance of Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation (TTCM) over AWGN, and Rician channels and assume that phase disturbance is available.

The phase shift of an ultrasonic pulse at an oil layer and determination of film thickness [PDF]
, 2005 An ultrasonic pulse incident on a lubricating oil film in a machine element will be partially reflected and partially transmitted. The proportion of the wave amplitude reflected, termed the reflection coefficient, depends on the film thickness and the ...

Quantum communication using a bounded-size quantum reference frame
, 2009 Typical quantum communication schemes are such that to achieve perfect decoding the receiver must share a reference frame with the sender. Indeed, if the receiver only possesses a bounded-size quantum token of the sender's reference frame, then the ...

CFD modelling of two-phase stirred bioreaction systems by segregated solution of the Euler–Euler model [PDF]
, 2013 An advanced study of a bioreactor system involving a Navier–Stokes based model has been accomplished. The model allows a more realistic impeller induced flow image to be combined with the Monod bioreaction kinetics reported previously. The time-course of
