Semi-blind sparse channel estimation with constant modulus symbols [PDF]
, 2005 We propose two methods for the estimation of sparse communication channels. In the first method, we consider the problem of channel estimation based on training symbols, and formulate it as an optimization problem.

Large Magellanic Cloud Distance from Cepheid Variables using Least Squares Solutions
, 2007 Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is determined using the Cepheid variables in the LMC. We combine the individual LMC Cepheid distances obtained from the infrared surface brightness method and a dataset with a large number of LMC Cepheids ...

Structural relaxation in silicate melts and non-Newtonian melt rheology in geologic processes [PDF]
, 1989 The timescale of structural relaxation in a silicate melt defines the transition from liquid (relaxed) to glassy (unrelaxed) behavior. Structural relaxation in silicate melts can be described by a relaxation time, , consistent with the observation that ...
